Well DANG! I wish I had more time to prep and get out there! This would be fantastic. I have some unfinished business with the NAMBA record book!

I think the X hydro time should read 15.7 not 16.7...

This was with Martin’s twin 45.

[Terry Keeley]

Congratulations to all!

70+ mph for a 20 O/B tunnel is strollin! The IMPBA record held by Kently Ported has been at 65.048 since 2007!

Thurs. looks good for you guys after the cold front goes through:

Another cold front coming for Friday.

Martin Truex Jr. 1/2A Hydro. 101.029

Wow! Any details on the boat and engine?

 

[The Real Grim]

Yes. Martins X Hydro is 15.785.

Today Was basically a blow out. But we had three more records.

Randy Hicks set a 2-Lap and SAW record in gas twin. And Martin set the C Hydro record early this morning before the wind got really bad. Randy set his records in bad water. His 2-lap time is no where near what his boat has done in the past. Will post more tomorrow but the weather like Terry said is not looking favorably.

 

[Wally Duarte]

Not so fast fellas... we still own the IMPBA 3.5cc Outboard Tunnel Straight line record with a standard "OFF THE SHELF" Lynx round track boat.

It looks like we may need to build a custom boat to defend this record as the days of owning SAW records with round trackers may be coming to an end.
