Saturday, August 7 - b.i.o. Brian Miller run

[redhotsommer]

Guess I need more seat time. Can`t use the power if I`m in the air,(and thats alot when the waves are bigger) and I`m never sure when the drive is coming out of the water i`m afraid if I don`t throttle back i`ll kill my brand new drive so I drive slower.

Two weekends ago I had tabs at 7 (way down) that seemed to make it better.. I don`t know if thats right or not

Last weekend was awesome.. 70mph+ no problem in that water.Two weekends ago it was like a washing machine anything more than 30mph and the kids started screaming. Me and my ski were like one I knew its every move, and I loved getting air, now everytime the drive comes out I`m like ****.


I must become one with the boat like the ski haha

Come out for a ride in some "bigger" water with one of us. The best way to learn is first to see how and feel how it's done. The tipping point for me was driving at night in some waves...you are FORCED to drive by feel...and it works. I'd be happy to show you what I know...believe me, I am very familiar with the position you are in right now. In my first boat, I was just amazed at how fast others could go while I was constantly bangin' the rev limiters coming out of the water. I'll send you a pm with my number...if it's bumpy this weekend, I'd be happy to take you for a spin.

And Jason...time is kinda tbd...but I was thinking 9 or 9:30 meetup for the "western" crew at EC or Hammond.

I will be in for it. Might just meet about halfway between MC and Hammond and run back to MC with everyone. I plan on putting the boat in the water in MC for the races Thursday afternoon and be in until Sunday.

X2 I will be launching Thursday as well

How Far is Michigan City from lets say Boaters beach.. as in not in your guys` big boats but in a 25' boat time

I sure the guys will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it's about 15-18 miles from boaters!

Mrs. OB

I think its a little closer 12-15 miles or so

[Magic Medicine]

I'll be down for the races. Towin down Sat AM. What times the run?

Let me know if you need directions or anything else

[Magic Medicine]

You will be fine in your 25' Active Thunder. MM and I used to run all over the place in my 24' Outlaw and his 24' Checkmate.

Yes we sure did, put alot of hours on those boats, same with the 28's Sunsation and Checkmate!

[Magic Medicine]

If its calm my garage queen may even be ready. The group will have to stop at Mt. Baldy so I can join the group for the ride in. Then MM can hang with me and save some gas!

Make sure you put the small prop on!!!

[Warlock28SXT]

Let me know if you need directions or anything else

The list of things I need is way too long I'm looing forward to it. Can't wait.

Man...just a rough estimate after ONE DAY of publicity...there's already about 15 boats interested...we need some representation from the northside Chicago boys and some more T-dockers...

[MrCig]

[Cig Flat Deck]

Oh yes the boat is running and rest now on T-Dock. i will be running from now on with extra MSD boxes, coils, and plugs. Dont need another South haven.

[MrCig]

Ryan has it figured out now. Lots of spare parts!!!

It not how fast you run, it's how long you run semi fast

[baddogz28]

Good luck with the run fellas!!!

[SC288]

Only three weeks away now....any updates on the plans for the run TallMike?

[redhotsommer]

Emailled Jason yesterday with our basic plan, and he seems suitably enthused. We're going to have boats leaving from Hammond, East Chicago, Michigan City and Portage... I think we'll just have to pick a time to meet at Portage, then make a big group run to MC. Jason is talking with the Harbormaster to see if he can get us slips and/or spots on the wall to raft up. He is on vacation right now, but said he'd get back to me on Tuesday. As of now, if you want a slip for the weekend, it's every man for themselves.
