Ran and tested today and worked at the lake in Huntsville

Boueys set. Several had worked yesterday with weed eaters yesterday.

Jon Thibodeau brought his lawn mower which was a VARY LARGE KABOTA 0 turn mower made the race site look excellent

So bring your boats and go for a RECORD

Congrats all!

Looks like 'ol General Lee's back at it!

 

[Tommy Lee]

Once again thanks to both Grim families for doing a great job in really hot weather. And yes Terry I am still going and you haven't seen the numbers this boat can put up if we get all our ducks lined up. I have been waiting for 5- months since the April TT's for this event and 2- days before I had knee problems. Bruce Jacobs has a really good video of the C-record run and maybe he will post it up here.

I'm not an O/B guy but I've heard of the "Tunnel Mafia" and I even met another fast guy that has the same name as a famous Nascar driver but you boyz better be worried 'cause the General "Tommy E. Lee" is out of retirement!
