    Im no engine expert but I believe we should pull the small block and go to the A class motor from the Grumpy Old Men boat or possibly the old camaro pro street motor from Tylers drag race days. I understand David Scott was using drag race motors.If we can turn 7000 we could do 100 m.p.h. Grumpy G

    The only boats that can run against us next year have to be Class 6 boats because all the other Class 5 boats are to big with the 26' length limit. And if PFE shows up we want to run before him before he litters the water with all the balsa core

    But you're staying in Class 5 with the Rocket, correct?

    I think it's the downstream current vs the upstream current that makes it really tough to stay on the number everyone tests and dials in their boats at.

    Yep, I'll give him a shout.

    When you can finish a race without braking out....
    Then you become a threat....till then your just a very fast pace boat...

    Now I will give you that you are running on the edge in SV and running up front....and given the boys a run for there money....

    I hope you bring the little rocket to Orange Beach...with the big water...you may not even see 65 in that thing....

    Wish I could have made it to the shootout....

    I had the Rocket at every race in 2007 and when we raced in Point Pleasant that year their were 4-5 foot waves and I had 3/4 of a lap lead on the whole Class this boat can run in the rough water. I will bring it to Alabama to run against you in the rough water as soon as you find a 73 year old driver for your boat that will run with you

    I found a old throttleman.....a real old one....

    He's been ejected or went over in every boat he's raced in...except the one he is in now....so I'm sure he has aged much more going threw all that...
    and then throw in all his motorcross accidents....he should have more gray hairs then George....

    Bring her to Alabama....I will put up my $1000 from OPA to you if you can beat us and not brake out....if we win you pay nothing...

    The challenge has been put up....

    Let it be said...
    Let it be written...
    Let it be done....
