We were able to get to the lake Tues aft and had a great time with everyone and got to try the new Twin. Those that set the record put out a tremendous effort and a great accomplishment and are to be congratulated.

HUNTSVILLE IS A GREAT POND AND FACILITY. IF YOU WANT GREAT COMPETITION ON ONE OF THE BEST FACILITIES IN THE COUNTRY COME TO HUNTSVILLE IN MAY FOR OUR RACE.

[Terry Keeley]

Great job guys!

Whodathunk we'd have 16 sec. 40 boats? When you beat the old record by only 0.074 sec. (Martin had it at 16.999) you know it's stout...

 

[Ty Faust]

Congrats.To Stu And Martin!! Way to get the records broke,

 

[bzubee]

Great job sorry I missed this one!

 

[Stuart Barr]

We had great water on Monday and part of Wednesday. Tuesday was a blow out. My last run on Wednesday with the 40 boat was in the rain. I was down to my last tank of fuel and last glow plug. Bruce Jacobs told me to stop screwing around and lay one down. His vise grips on my ear helped me listen better. Bruce did a great job as a coach and prep guy! The credit for this accomplishment goes to many people also. There are a ton of great ideas out there and I find if you listen, you pick up a few. These people need the credit:

Jim Wilson

Mark Sholund

Mark Grim

Chris Grim

Steve Odonnell

Scott Bouchie

and Marty Davis

I have not done true record trials in 30 years. It was fun and I'll be back!

Thanks

Stu
