I didn't get to see the first race, but the Smitty/Louie race was incrediable. (I had a great view).

Ist race this year. Not even a practice lap before heading out. The boat was finished that night.....(Actually I saw them still wrenching at the gas dock before heading out)
Looks as if they have Marc and Scotty covered though.....Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

looks like it was a little bumpy. Why was Chiro 1 in class 4?

That was a great race....we had a bad start....and went to last....and then one by one had deck to deck racing with the rest of the field...this was the first race that the boat ran right...and after the 3rd lap....Jim felt comfortable to just leave it wide open in the turns....
Jim said he only seen 75.03 one time and 75.06 another....so we thought we might be ok....
But finding out later...there was another 75.04, 75.48 and a 75.46.....but I cannot give him to much greef....it was the first time we had the right fuel pressure which gave us some more power then we have had before....and the first time the boat ran the way it should....
will get it dail in back to 74.5.....
Thanks to WHO'S YOUR DADDY for taking the time to find out were our fuel pressure issue was coming from..and making a screen for the pick up and also give me a 3 lap warranty on it....don't see that in the Marine industry in racing....2009 Activator/ Powered by ILMOR

Was there a hatch on Scotty's side or did he just stand up ?

07-19-2010 07:37 PMI forgot one which I shouldn't of. I did not get a chance to talk to them. Maybe in St Clair. They jumped out to a huge lead in class 5, then broke something and pulled off after about 3 laps. The rest of the class would have had a tough time reeling them in I think.
Anyone know what happened????
And is there anyone else I missed?Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
