Thanks! It looks like I owe you that steak!!Nice Job Glenn
Strollin'!Friends we have perfect water today, and I have finally had enough runs to get the 12 dialed in! My best 2 way average is 2.309 which is 97.444 mph! Yeah!!! I am so blessed! Another super cool thing (at least to me!) is that I have made two passes at over 100! One was 101.214 and the other was 103.830!
More later got to get back to running!

RonWhy don't we get together and put my .67 K&B outboard on Tommy's SAW tunnel. I would put it together, and you can drive it at the record trialsHey Tommy!!! I hope you are doing well. Not sure if you remember me. It has been a long long time. I used to burn up your ear many years ago asking advice, racing your many designs, and I have missed our times at the many boat races where we ran together. You were my mentor then and when I returned to rc boat racing 4 years ago I started asking how you and Beth were doing. Im really happy to see your posts on this thread and hope to see you at a race sometime soon!!! Just so you know, I agree with your post. I picked up your record setting hull from Bob a couple of years ago along with your straightaway and oval sponsons. I also have your wooden 20 tunnel you built. I have plans to install a Novarossi 46 on that 40 tunnel sometime soon and would love to work with you again to raise that old record of yours even higher if you would be interested. Would love to keep that record intact with both the original design, and the original designer!!! PM me sometime and I will call you to catch up. FYI, I pulled one of my 460's you built for me years ago out of storage and mounted a Nova 46 on the back. It has won the last two major races, 2015 Fall Nats and 2016 Winter Nitro Nats. Congrats my friend on a design that is still winning today!!!!!....Go for it Bob! That record was set with a .46 engine with a "very sloppy" piston fit. (slow record) It should be around 80-mph but I don't think you can do that with the 460. The boat I gave you with the removable sponsons is the fastest tunnel you have. It should go 80 with the E & F engine. I just don't understand why you are not using it.
