Great job to all who participated and set new records. Those are some awesome numbers. Looks like it will be a great year for SAW competition.

AWSOME JUST AWSOME Guys. 150 is just around the corner for the FE boaters!!! Congrats to all you guys that set records in SAW it ain't easy!

Congratulations to all the record setters. Especialy Don with the 1/8 Scale and my good buddy Chris! Really cool speeds, lets see some pictures of the meet and boats.

I thought I was doing something when I got the Gas rigger big block record at 102 mph and then Chris did 139 mph with his electric and made me feel quite insignificant. Chris's boat is awesome in technology, design, and speed. I like the fishing line and tape method of holding the sponsons together. The setup proved to work as expected when he dumped the boat on his last run Sunday. I Wish he had made the 140 mark, but 139 is pretty close. I would bet he will be the next ....fastest boater in the world before long.

So who is the world fastest right now and how fast

 

[Andy Greene]

Joerg went 140.3 and change on a one way- I know he backed up a 133+ .

Unless I'm missing something - Chris's backed up 139+ does it,

Anyone ?

Andy

 

[DON MAHER]

Joerg had passes of 139 and 141 for an average of 140! He is still the fastest.

How did Aaron do?

Last year all the buzz was the 139mph pass he made with the 45 nitro boat. I know he was there. Have not heard about any nitro records.

Hey fellas,

Some really impressive boats at this Time Trial, a bunch of records fell.

I'll post all of the resuts as soon as the paperwork arrives in a few days.

Thanks,

Doug

Grim,

Yup... 32 Sub-Cs... Just the weight alone would be a trick to overcome... Quite a feat.

But, tech moves on and now guys are going that fast on 1/2 the voltage having many times more power!

Hope to witness some of this this coming weekend! These guys are QUITE INSPIRING!!

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the kind words. Man, what a weekend! It goes without saying that I’m extremely happy with my results but there were a lot of fast boats at this SAW and some really outstanding accomplishments by a bunch of guys that shouldn’t be overlooked. Mike L. and Dick Loeb pushing the

FE O/B Tunnel records to new heights, Doug Smock backing up 86mph with his T-Mono, Don Ferette who’s new to FE setting three records in some tough classes, Jerry Crowther backing up 97mph with his F-Mono, John Finch hitting 100+ mph with a gas rigger, Kently Porter in the high 80’s with a .12 rigger among many others. Awesome stuff!

I would like to thank Kently Porter and the Old Dominion club for putting on a great event.

I would also like to thank Doug Smock for all his support and being my official “Pieces Parts Picker Upper” LOL and rudder builder , John Snider at Tork-It for all your help, Steve Neu for the great motors, Jeff Wohlt for the awesome struts, Jim Williams for the great motor mount made the way I needed it, Don Ferrete for helping me out with that receiver, and last but not least Aaron Alberico for all the prop help. I couldn’t have done it without you guys!

My internet was down when I got home and we just got it back up. We will be uploading the vids soon and some pics, stayed tuned!
