[Andy Greene]

You F/E Hydro and Tunnel guys are really really getting it done , CONGRATS , thats Awesome

Tyle laying down yet another 133+ pass , hopefully he has more in the bag to up the record.

Dont think for a minute that there isnt a certain East Coast Pilot keeping a close eye on this-

I cant wait to see what he brings to the show when he re-emerges

Thanks for the updates..............

We have the lake site now for some really fast electric racers with the lake being almost 2,000 feet long. With the course pretty well centered up in the middle, that gives over 750 feet of shut down area after each end.

 

[bzubee]

Here is a you tube link to the video of Tyler Garrard's Q outrigger hydro making his records setting final pass at over 133 mph!

 

[Terry Keeley]

Less than idea conditions too!

 

[bzubee]

Yes I'm really looking forward to see if he makes it back for our July RT!
