.21 SGX-One: First time on the water. Boat drives really nice, just need to find the speed.

.21 Vision: Bought me a fancy crimping tool for rigging cable steering,when I re rigged the boat last season. had a steering cable let go before the start of the first heat! Never had that happen before crimping cables with a needle nose pliers... tool went in the trash.

.45 Warhead: Still chasing my tail with this one.

.45 SG: After Greg lit the water up at the speed run with his big rack nova powered JAE, I wasn't sure if the old girl could hang with the new kids on the block.The back up Mac and the AA just never matched the performance of the original Mac in this hull so i put the original back in. Swapped out the parabolic for one of Scott Bouchie's pipes and threw her out with the sharks. Was too lean in heat one for a goose egg, got lucky in heat two for a first, nailed the start in heat three and led most of the race, but Greg got around me on the final lap, and i finished second.

So mad I missed yesterday......

We were only able to get one round in before the wind an rain picked up and forced us to pack it up and go home.

 

[eekern]

That bites Greg.....hopefully we all have better luck in July.

 

[Grimracer]

The rain ran us off.. BUT.. it was great to see everybody again. Maybe next year i can make a few more races.. That would be nice.
