JC, Jeni Johnson would be proud of you for supporting the PINK. Congrats on all your runs. Hammer B)
Thanks Terry!Great job guys, wayta hang with it!
17.158 is smokin' for a D hydro, congratulations!
Thanks Charles. I went 17.141 2 lap with the regular carbs and lowered my time to a 16.67 just with a carburetor swap. They work and out performed the carbs I had. They are going to stay on my twin for now on. Zoom Carbs are the way to go on big block CMB 101RS motors.The wind was blowing so hard saturday, Julian had to eat a 3 lb hamburger just to keep his feet on the ground. If he had been wearing his pink poncho then, he would have looked like a flying flamingo.Thanks Julian for making the Zoom carbs look good. You da man.

Martin ran a modded Picco carb when he broke the 1/4 mile record the first time saturday, then he switched to a prototype Picco carb with Zoom internals and broke his own record by about a 1/2 half second quicker time. This was also a smaller bore carb. Bigger is not always better with carb bores.Thanks Charles. I went 17.141 2 lap with the regular carbs and lowered my time to a 16.67 just with a carburetor swap.

Just a shot but the 1/4 mile ovals were probably made for at the time, slower boats like the electrics and steam. Back then they didn't have the hot battery packs and motors that they have today so they had to squeeze everything into a shorter course before the packs died.Anyone know thow history behind the 1/4 mile oval ?
I believed that Picco 45 black headed Modded by Frank Orlic 100% ( piston/sleeve and drum housing w/carb ) because Dr Gary Tuner sold Custom Jae 45/ picco to martin. I knew that Best of Frank Orlic work very good job well I said congrats to Martin T B)Martin ran a modded Picco carb when he broke the 1/4 mile record the first time saturday, then he switched to a prototype Picco carb with Zoom internals and broke his own record by about a 1/2 half second quicker time.
