11-11-2009 09:40 PMThe hatch was inadvertantly left unlatched, and we chose not to tape it down cause the paint is fresh, we have made it a point to triple check that for Friday. Also we had a steering line fail causing the boat to lose steering completely. Both problems have been tended to and we look forward to a great day of racing on Friday.

11-11-2009 09:48 PMYou guy's did an unbelieveable job of building that boat in a short period of time. It does take alot of time to dial in a new race boat and get the gremlins out , been there and done that. Good luck! Originally Posted by animalhouse

Really looking forward to stopping by the pits and seeing this incredible boat up close and in person.

11-12-2009 10:38 AMThe boat accelerates hard and they were well in the lead for the first lap or 2 before the grmlins came in. We have adressed the issue and will test today.

11-12-2009 12:00 PMWhat class is this boat in? I thought it was in the class with Panasonic/Cat Killer, Saratoga Stampeded and Hard Rock. I guess I am wrong because those 3 boats were ahead of the outerlimits all day.

11-12-2009 12:35 PMOuterlimits is in the Super Vee unlimited class not Vee Xtreme. Panasonic and Stampede are in a class by themselves. Hard Rock, Fountain World Wide, and the Outerlimits are all in the same class. There was supposed to be the Davis Phantom, Miccosukee Fountain, and Rockstar Skater as well. Dont know where those boats are. Belive me the Outerlimits will be ahead of all these boats once all sorted out. They were in the lead at the beginning yesterday until the hatch problem then steering problem. Everything has been sorted out and they are ready for some testing in the new boat today.

Some say smack talking is like talking down to someone; to me that is not the case. Just because you want to be in first place doesn't mean you want the other guy to finish; you just want them to finish behind you!
Thanks again for sharing this project!!
Wasn't there some talk about special guests running the boat? Race day is tomorrow- spill it!!

11-12-2009 11:25 PMThe distinction between the classes is kind of silly.. I think Extreme and Unlimited should all run together. Or no superchargers in Unlimited. Originally Posted by Team Tsunami
