    We just got in our newest member of our team in...now that we have the proper fuel pressure and we got to see what the Ilmor really has for power..we needed to make a few changes....
    We are scheduled to go out and test at 9:30am on Friday....and unlike the Wazzup testing facilities were you get pulled over and get the 3rd degree within 30 seconds of getting on plane...
    We here in Va Beach have the VB Marine patrol and G.C. block us off a testing site for us....

    Flashbacks....WHATS THE NAME OF YOUR VESSEL SON......
    .....UUHHHH....BBBOOAAAATTT......RRREEESSPPONSSSIIIBBBLLYYYYYY...
    ARE YOU TRYING TO BE FUNNY SON..........

    Well...the testing went great....and we have one little tweek to make on the prop...
    our 65 to 75 and 70 - 75mph acceleration times....well lets just say its a 5500 to 6000 rpms run...and anyone that knows the Ilmors knows what that means...
    were even going to run her with 110 gallons of fuel in her for the race...
    now Jim dose not have to worrie about hitting 75.01 anymore....now he can just bungy the throttles wide open....close his eyes....and go to his happy place....till the race is over.....

    Yea.....but you still have to go around ALL the buoys...

    If you come to Patchoque...the only way you will beat us is... you will have to brake out.....
    It may be time to retire the old Joker....or...put a Ilmor in it.....

    See ya in a couple of weeks....

    No...but the engine is so high tech....its idiot proff...race on 9 spark plugs and the 10 one gets hook to your seat and gose off at 74.99.....but you need to be careful with high tech like that....George might just set it to 70 mph just to see you jump around.....
