    I will wait for the official results from OPA.

    I am sorry for my behavior at the awards it was uncalled for.

    The feud needs to stop before alot innocent people get hurt.

    Wahoo ATV stated on another site that he was running alongside the Fountain SVL at 103 mph.......amazing.
    I'd rather be on the boat with a drink on the rocks, than in the drink with my boat on the rocks.

    I saw that run down the back stretch when the Fountain stayed with the SV's the entire way.

    Is anybody suprised....

    Down current at 103...so it is capible of 97-99.....we all said it will do 100 when they get it dialed in....
    The boat runs so much better then the other SVLs...the others were chine walking all over..
    I heard it did 97 a cuple of races ago...
    If the Imco boat can do 96+ and is a 10-13 year older boat...why can't a new boat with new tech do 3-4 mph more...

    Is a new SV Fountain faster then its hull from 13 years ago...Yes...
    So what made you think these old SVLs would run with a new Fountain...

    Its turning a 6 blade....I also heard the Imco is turning a 6 blade....can any of the other SVL's turn a 6 blade

    Its not my tail to chase...but if Will built a new SVL or O/L's...I will bet it will be faster then the old ones....I remember when these same SVL's 8-9 years ago were running 87-90 mph..

    But they have the right idea by running 2 races of 3 to 4 laps and then restart another race...
    It will keep the racing closer...we were woundering if the Fountain was going to lap Octaine..

    We ran six Blades all the 04 season. We went to 5 blades in the 05 season because Larry liked the way the boat handled . But the kings of the six blades were the Kostalacs brother ran six blades all the races. Before then I do not know if Steve was running them.
