Congratulations all, especially Chris setting the bar high for the rest of us!

Maybe we'll get Steve Reesor out again!

Sure would like to be there when Jerry goes 100 with one of his Seaducers.

And a huge thanks to our IMPBA Records Director Doug Smock for all the time and effort he's giving to keep things straight, thanks again Doug!

Not too many years ago...well 18 years ago to be exact; a very well respected boater and IMPBA US-1 champion said to me: "Ain't no model boat ever gonna go 90 mph".

Well....looks to me like 10 of them officially went over 90 mph all on the same weekend.

Congrats to EVERYONE!!!

 

[El Zorro]

Congratulations to all of the new record holders! With so many new records being set one might think this stuff is easy. You have to go to one of these trials to see just how much work and effort it really is to get a boat up to speed and THEN make two good, straight passes. Keep the record books open............oval Record Trials in Chesapeake, Va. this weekend!

Well said Dick,

What's not being talked about is how much stuff I broke on Fri. getting the boat dialed in. Bent rudders slinging blades off a prop detroying the srtut, radio issues, among other things.

Not to mention the 10 months or so I spent building the boat. Lots of hard work but oh so worth it!
