Let me know if you need more detail photos of the exhaust. We do not use the tips like Randy does.

If the SVL race in Biloxi is anything like year before last, we as fans are in for a treat. Thanks to all the hard work these racers are putting into their boats. We look forward to seeing all of you at the races.

Wil,
That actually helps a ton brother! Thank you. I've attached some pics of the latest on TUG IT, but 1st I gotta say it's great seein Lauren in her Dad's boat again!!
Real quick story.... The 1st time Pat and I went up to Randy's shop to pick up the Krypto and get her ready to head to Orange Beach last year was the 1st time I got to meet Randy's girls... And it was the same thing.. We were all wrenchin on the boat and the girls were crawlin around helpin out doin whatever we needed to get ready for the race... When we crawled out and got ready to roll we were lookin at her and Lauren said, "Daddy, how come your boat is so dirty?? Shouldn't we clean it?", Randy answers, points to us, and says, " No sweetie... That's what these guys are for..."
So, it is good to see that the Mad Dog and the girls are keepin up on things!!
Well, this is the latest... Was hoping to post that we had her runnin today, but it was 1 of THOSE days... Long story short, the headers need some mods, trim and drive pump issues, and some other crap... But not fatal! Workin thru it, but I had to post a few pics since we got her back from her 1st treatment@ Absolute... Still not finished, but I think u can start to see the theme here!!
Later!!

04-15-2012 11:11 PMKev,
I spend most of the time in NJ with Randy and his girls. My daughter is about the same age as Morgan. I will tell you this, you have made an impression on those girls. Last time I was there Randy and I were talking about you and your boat and Morgan said to me, Kevin is just cool!!
On your boat, what can I say, Simply Awesome!!!
Absolutely incredible!!
On the topic of Biloxi. The SVL class has agreed to split our purse, that means that every SVL owner will be getting a check on Sunday the 29th for almost 4K.
If there ever was a time to unite and get all these SVLs together this is it. I will go anywhere if I am guaranteed that kind of money no matter how I finish in the race.
Jim Simmons has built a new boat in 4 weeks!!!! So, here it is guys. You show up and get a check no matter if you break in the parade lap. There is no reason why anybody should not support this race.
Here are the latest photos from Jim.
