***2008 World Outboard Tunnel Championships***

I like to think I am pretty good on starts, but if I were to follow anyone around the course to get on the clock, it would be HTV Jr. AKA the "Jack".

To the tune of Jingle Bells to be sung before racing begins each day.
"Eight boat heats, eight boat heats, eight boats all the way, oh what fun to race and crash in an eight boat heat today. Blasting through turn one, eight boats side-by-side, it might best be called model tunnel suicide." :lol:

Feel free to create additonal verses.

Happy Holidays,

JD

Just a thought but in my opinion 8 boat heats really suck. Trust me I am not afraid of the competition. Problem is back markers and dead boats are guaranteed which really hinders fair racing. Nothing worse than leading a heat taking the safe way on the outside of a dead boat and the guy behind you gambles taking the inside and possibly hitting the dead wood and makes it. I have hit my share of dead wood so I am guilty here too If a contest director would declare a boat within 5-10 feet of a pin as part of the course it would help. 8 also guarantees an altered course with different corners. James your European 1 pin on the back stretch would help with larger heats. So flame me now but when your boat gets destroyed or you get taken out of a heat cause someone just couldn't handle a crowd remember how you love those big heats. Driving with guys you regularily run with you know a bit more what to expect but with people you never have seen before what you perceive as eratic may be normal for them.

Oh well I better practice my starts and stay out ahead of the first turn "big one".

Just follow me Mark...I'll keep you out of trouble....

 

Just kidding.

-Carl,

Hey Carl,

You going to try that "Night Patrol" run again this year? Gawd, that was an awful sound when your boat hit that post last year.

JD

Jerry,

I think someone needs to put a large blinking light on the top of that 3 inch diameter silver pole this year. It blended in perfectly with that sliver water that afternoon. That was a custom stick built hull with tons of hours work. I vote for at least some orange paint on the darn thing this year so old drivers can see it.

LOL...

 

[topfuel443]

Totally different pond this year Carl, no steel poles for you!! Now you will have to find something else to hit....lol. That sucked man. I hope everyones boat comes back in one piece, probably a long shot, but we can hope.

Is that "aura" or "aroma?" Sometime us Yankees have a hard time understanding the way you "Good Ol' Boys" pronounce certain words(well, actually most words).
