Well its over for another year and me and the Ms. had another great time seeing all the racers from all over the country . It was unseasonabily HOT this year but got cooler at night. GREAT racing with 16 boats in 4 class seperated by just a fraction of a second going for BIG $$$$$ purses.... Special congrads to Ron and Brian Morton ( 8 second class ) from INDY that are father and son winner and second place finishers in the 8 second class both running Merc outboards showing them big car motors boys how to do it.... You boys must have left Ark with close to $8000.00 in winnings.....Great job !

Glenn Breshears and company ALWAY put on a NO NONCIENCE race with pro clocks ( no guessing who won) a top notch laid out straight coarse ( left and right lane exact same running distances ) , pro announcer , great parking, GREAT Ark. hospitality and I'm thinking over $40,000 in purses to be ran for in a 2 day event...IMO THIS is Drag Boat racing at its best , Glenn and his crew put on a great representation of the Drag Boat Racing sport ran in a professional manner.....

One bad accident but the driver was LUCKY and escaped with only a badly broken ankle and coller bone, pretty luck for a spill at over 135 MPH....

Can't wait till next year, already planning .......;)

LOL the Winning ones!!!!:D

J/K ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Conklin has it correct!;) :rolleyes:

At the cove (and all other bracket races) It's all about set up, Driver and Lady LUCK that wins races!! ;) The kind of boat is irrelivant (sp :confused: ).......
It's all about setting it up right,,,, Cutting a GREAT lite,, And tunning a boat to run within 1000'th time after time after time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Outboards are VERY competive at the cove! And ALWAYS give the BB's a Run for the money!!!!!! :D :D :D


ALL outboards are ALWAYS welcome on the Rope!!!! Come play with us sometime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You WON'T be disapointed!;)
