[jaxracer]

How about that 60+ mph stock tunnel?

 

[VansRacing]

LOL...now, now Jaxster...it aint over yet. Getting a sport tunnel to lay down that kind of time takes some work.

Eric just called in his times from Valdosta and has posted two passes of:

3.839 & 3.832 seconds.

The new (unofficial) IMPBA 3.5cc 1/16th mile SAW Sport record is: 58.670 MPH

Glenn Quarles caught him on radar at over 61 mph but the wind kept him from being able to run thru the beams at that speed. Eric or Allen may post more info aboput the runs later for you guys that are wanting to keep up with this event.

The front is moving across our area (Alabama) right now. Hopefully we can leave here tomorrow and have some good weather conditions.

Sport classes are here to stay guys!

Congradulations guys. Thats smokin for a stock 20. Whens he gonna take the mod record.lol. How about Mr. Talley. Can we expect the oval record bumped up as well? Alright well great job. Looking forward to hearing some more times.

~Mitch Jr.

 

[VansRacing]

Me and Talley just got back from our local pond From the numbers we were getting here from our track, looks like we are ready to give it a go! We are hoping for good weather.

-Carl,

 

[Scott Norris]

Wonder whats going on down in Valdosta? Any good water or is it breezy like here?

 

[VansRacing]

It was perfect all day long today. Records fell. I think eight in all. The forcast calls for light rain tomorrow but clearing Sunday and Monday.

-Carl,

It figures it would be as I had to leave early Friday morning. Mother nature would not cut me any slack, watched the wind blow for the time I was there except for the few opportunities on Tuesday when it did let up enough to get the brand new boat dialed in. Our weather here at home went to hell way back in late October so I never got the chance to set it up before going to Valdosta.

At least the boat is ready, just got to wait for the right water.

I will say one thing, Eric Betty's Lynx 21 tunnel was simply awesome to watch. For you o/b tunnel guys out there I truly believe this is the hull to have. I watched Eric make pass after pass at just under 60mph in water conditions that would make alot of 21 o/b guys leave their boats in the trailer. A boat doesn't have to go 100mph to impress me & I will say the Lynx is THE 21 o/b hull to have not to mention seeing a STOCK OS21 tunnel going 60 (one pass @ 61 on radar) in less than ideal conditions was remarkable. Great job Eric!

Unfortunately I will not be able to indulge tonight. Started feeling rough on the long drive back from Valdosta yesterday. Went to doc's today, got a mean sinus infection & I'm on antibiotics, no alcohol for me tonight.

 

[Hot Rod Todd]

I beat it was all the wind we had in Valdosta, all that wind sucks!!!! Thank You for the speed secerts to help me with my record. You'll get the record at Elizabeth city. Stay on Preston about having the record trails this year!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL !!!!!!! Thanks Glenn and Jason for all your hard work at Speedweeks III Todd Anderson

Too funny Todd. Yeah this is a mean one but I'll be fine, they got me on 1500mg of Amoxicillin a day for 10 days. The boat is definitely there now, just need the right water. Glad to help you out with your record, that smile on your face when you got it made it all worth it.

 

[Mike Hemric]

Hey Hot Rod what record did you get, glad to see you get the record you have been working on them SlS mono for awhile. GREAT JOB B)

 

[Hot Rod Todd]

Mike, MY proposed record is 48.035 for SLS mono saw. Record trails is not as easy as most think!!! My boat is busted, my motor is trash. Luckly you hooked me up with Mike Cumas on that Dave Amato motor.. I was hoping for alittle more, but that gives the other SLS guys alittle room to bump it up!!!

Thats a big difference. What did he do put some go-go juice in there. lol. Knocking off almoost 2 seconds. It looks like he finally pulled the white gloves off :lol: . Congradulations. We were going to come up just to hang out for a day or two but dad got tied up with work and we couldn't come. I guess there's always next year.
