It's OK, I'll keep him out of your way. See you there.

Okay... I have been waiting for this. Time to stir things up a bit. I couldn't talk because I didn't have a boat yet but the Blossom Hill Hobbytown has offered me a full ride. I will be flying the Hobbytown colors... Ahhhhh... Yah! It's on and crack'n now.

Lane one is mine but your welcome to a seat in my rear view mirror... I hear they will have plenty of refills on water... and it will be served cold.

You guys know the routine!!! LOL!

Lorenzo!!!!! Hear me and Hear me good. I will see you at the Kaiser of Coves and when we meet you can be assured my friend... I will avenge the loss that you handed my father in the Hydro of Bees seasons of last and you shall not be so fortunate again. I... Will... Have... Revenge... Sir Lorenzo... I... Will... Have... REVENGGGGGGGGE!!! LOL!

Hahahhahaha!

Was that dramatic enough for you guys?

See you guys at the finish line. It should be a lot of fun.

Lorenzo,

Received the boats from Champaign today. A white one and a red one. Since you were first to respond to my "Drivers Needed" post, you get first choice. I'm hoping Paul and I can be at Kaiser Cove Friday morning and you can pick up the boat and start "Super Tuning."

If you want, you can use your tx & rx in the boat. I let Eric "I can only run a stick and it has to be Airtronics" Bourlet use his radio system in one of my Vegas boats last September. Actually, Eric can run a wheel radio and runs Airtronics for the same reason I run Futaba. It was worth letting Eric have the boat because it came back faster!

Roger, being the nice guy I am, I'm going to give you some advice. Don't wait till the start of the racing on Saturday to break in the engine. It takes at least a half dozen tanks to get the Vegas engine running right. The same is true of the ProBoats.

Lorenzo,

It's not the engine that counts,(they are all the same) :lol: It's the "Secret Propeller" that you want. Right Jerry?

Good Luck,

Mark Sholund

 

[Mike Hughes]

Nope guess again. It is all that other stuff no one pay attention to.

At the Evanville IMPBA Internats, we gave a metal Y535 to each of the five U.S. 1 Champions' Challenge drivers. John Brown, and I think Chris Wood, really worked on their props. However, Jerry Crowther won all four rounds with a prop that had been simply balanced and sharpened by Grim.

So your telling me that if a guy sees one of our flyers, gets a boat and comes on down thinking he is going to be competitive he is going to be at the back of the pack? I thought the whole purpose of the ready-to-runs was to even the playing field. LOL! Okay... now I will be looking at mine real close to see where I can shave off some time. LOL! It's a good thing we have a wind tunnel at the office. LOL!

Jerry,

I'll take the red one. I can use my radio and receiver. Do I need anything else?

Thanks,

Mark,

You're right, I forgot about the secret prop. Can you get it out to me ASAP? :lol:

 

[Jerry Dunlap]

Lorenzo,

You can use your own fuel, or the 50% O'Donnell's I bring down for the Vegas boats. If you want to do up your own Octura Y-535 you can, there will be one of mine on the boat.

Jerry,

I don't have a prop. Can I use 60% nitro?

Sure, just make sure to get a needle-valve setting because the boats have been run on 50%.

Glenn, sure you can run your boat with us, it's about the speed you boat runs anyway.... But make sure you don't hit the bouys.... Also you must finish the boat first before you can run me over....

Glenn, but then again, there's g1 cat! just don't hit the buoy.

 

[Jerry Dunlap]

Ran the red boat today. Good choice Lorenzo.

[lohring]

Jeez, with all the hot drivers out there I'm going to need 80% fuel and a really secret prop to have any advantage. Maybe I can bribe Glenn to block for me.
