This Gv had its first big race at Charleston and it ran awsome. The design is still competitive Although originally this boat is built for a small block it handled the big block 30.5 motor I stuck in there well. Set up especially of the turn fin is crucial. I had mine too much on the edge and I paid for it with 2 early dnfs. Once I got the boat settled down I was able to grab a 1st in the 3rd round. 4th round I got too aggressive at the start and took myself out of the race. All in all for the first big race the boat could handle it...the driver didn't do to well. My set up ideas worked as the boat didn't lack speed againt a huge field of Backlashes. If your wondering the field was comprised of 2 of the older Ml 480 they were fast...I never saw this boat design run like that, 1 new insane synergy hydro, my 1 GV whip, 2 insane gx5, all the rest were backlashes Gen 2 and Gen 3.
A newly finished Gen 3 backlash took the weekend. A strong motor combined with the wire drive and a good prop made this GV scary fast...I took an older design put some modern ideas on it and it works.
