An APBA "race circular" actually has the dates as Feb. 2-4, with Feb 2 as the day for the drivers meeting, Feb. 3 as the planned kilo run day and Feb. 4 as an alternate day, https://www.apba.org/internal/print_...p?EditID=12947. The dates in the story have been changed to reflect this information.

It will likely be complete just days before event.

No time for testing????????

Their ramp is about 100 yards away. A few 100 yard idle out and they have open river. They can make a run, return to make a change and test again in less time then most places will take to simply launch. I would say they can test more in a day then most places could in a week.

I just happened to be looking at pieces being fabricated for the record boat at Skater today.......
