For anyone who has not been to a SAW or 2 lap trials at Legg Lake in the last few years, you have missed the best lunch you could imagine!

Kim Grim is the charcoal wizzard of Legg Lake and she aint to bad driving a couple of fast boats also!!! This should be another great event with the prospect of some new records being set.

Come on out, run a boat, have the best lunch you ever had & see some of the fastest boats on the left coast!!!!!! SEE YA THERE

I will not be able to make the SAW Time Trials, but I WILL be at the NAMBA Nats there in June.

A few SAMPLES of Don Maher's "Old Card Table" and I guarantee you that I can Bench Race as fast as anyone.

Good Luck Guys,

Charles

 

[DON MAHER]

When you put some "apple pie" on the "old cardtable" you get a warm fuzzy feeling

Don

Tyler,

Good memory, Man!

The N1 Mono speed was actually in the upper 36's. The Crackerbox was 28.xxx for an average of 27.775mph.

Also, Bill Oxidean ran a 47.xxx one-way pass in N1 Hydro as well... Neither of us could back it up at that time, however.

WHAT A BLAST this was! Looking forward to coming back.

 

[Rigged]

Tyler, did you put your SAW cat on the back burner?

sure wish NAMBA had some record trials on this side of the country... G1 and GX1 Cat records just askin to get reset

 

[RaceMechaniX]

Yeah, I stopped chasing the gas cat record a year or so ago after seeing a dragcat run 80 in Flint. I don't think my sprintcat would get over 77 without exetreme measures. I still have my FE conquest, but left that one at home this trip.
