I talked to Chris this evening. That is really moving for that lake. He said the air brakes worked like a charm. Nothing like obsurdly fast P boats to get peoples attention.

Way to go Chris!!! Pretty cool that too entirely different designs are within a mph of each other.

Congrats to all the drivers, you guys earned it. I've heard lots of serious speeds were laid down. Can't wait to see the complete list.

Dittos on the congrats. It takes a lot of skill to drive boats at those speeds. Well done gents!! Doubly so due to the small lake.

Got word while at the Spring Nats that Doug Smock also reset the P-mono record at over 70mph. Wonder how his Q mono did

P... 73 mph and change, Seaducer FE33 "Trap Shooter"

Q... 73 mph and change, Seaducer FE-38 "Trap Shooter II"

S... 74 mph and change, Seaducer FE38 "Ringer"

From a post on RumRunner by Dan Chase:

Doug Smock took P, Q & S Mono records at 73mph, 77mph and 74mph IIRC Way to go Doug!

Smoking fast!!!

Oops, Ron beat me to it!! Talk about fast!!

In T mono Crowther/Green had a one way pass of 87mph before the boat split in half on the return run!
T mono Crowther/Green 78mph

Like I said, fast!!

 

[Rigged]

Did the water ever calm down? When i heard about it he had just set the P record and said the water was a bit rough. He had the Q mono out testing a couple weeks ago and it was smoking fast... 77mph the average or fast pass?

 

[Capt Ron]

[quote name 77mph the average or fast pass?

to my knowledge, the averaged speeds were [P, Q, and S mono] [73 mph, 73 mph, and 74 mph] the fast passes i'm not sure of...

he was "Smoke'n"

Thanks guys!!

Capt, I backed up 77mph with my Q boat LATE yesterday. The fast pass was 78 and some change. I wish you had been there to see it.

Seaducer Boats, Neu motors, and Shultze controls, gotta love em!!!

Many thanks to Glenn Quarles, Fuller's Fast Electrics, Rum Runner Racing and Team Flightpower USA!!!!!!!

[Bill Oxidean]

How did N-2 mono go?

I heard Bill Whitlock did awesome down there, took one of me records

Congrats Bill! I'd love to see the boat that did it.. must've been an awesome little hydro..

Looks like the books are still right where I want 'em..

I'm planning on Flint this May.. I was at RCX during valdosta

 

[Bill Oxidean]

Blue lake is undeniably some of the best water in the country,

Heck I'm jazzed up for everyone who set records down there..

I can't WAIT to compete in IMPBA again..

I've got a couple of heartwarming projects..

I wish I could have made it, but RCX is the one time of year I get to see all my industry buddies..

Some if the best and fastest runs I've had were on that lake.. (not to discred our sacred Legg lake )

Andy,

with a fast pass of 87.108 mph our Seaducer T-Mono "Capital One" showed us we are on track in trying to match or better Mr. Crowther's 93 mph [1/16th mile] nitro mono mark...

and it sure doesn't hurt that Jerry has been a contributing member of our three year electric Seaducer project since day one at FE-I

but when ya crash em at 90 mph... stuff happens

with 18 very well prepared FE competitors in attendance and a bucket load of records falling, FE-IV was my most enjoyable time trials to date in this I.M.P.B.A. all electric series...

thanks to Glenn Quarles, Fuller's Fast Electrics, Rum Runner Racing, and Flight Power USA for a great four days at Blue Lake!

87.108 Bud, THATS hauling the mail for an F/E Mono- It was almost worth the cost of a hull eh ??

Thanks! It was a LOT of hard work, but the race came off beautifully. The Twin Shootout was absolutely AMAZING!!! It will be hard to top that finish!!!

Everyone in the club pitched in this year and it made a WORLD of difference. Next year we will make certain not to book two events on the same weekend. You have to experience the Spring Nats for yourself to truly understand it!!!

Again, congrats on the records!!!
