    You certainly could, but it would reduce the power

    If you wanted to go slower until the cops showed up to take you off the water, they would be perfect.

    Stackers

    The cops always showed when we tested in Miami..They loved them..They couldn't arrest us unless someone signed a complaint, and kept us informed when someone threatened to..no one ever did..Most people liked to watch us run..I guess it's different now since we seem to no longer have a Constitution...mmm, mmm, mmm

    1972 Havasu OWC OMC Promotional Video

    Dear Members- A teaser clip of the 1972 Havasu Outboard World Championships Outboard Marine Corporation ( OMC ) video has been posted on Google- Tunnel Boat Racing in the '70's site. The Promotional video was shown at all the big Boat Shows in the spring of '73. It has music, narration, & engine audio! The footage was sent to GoSee.TV/boatracing by Scot Keller, the son of Rick Keller who was an OMC (Johnson) Dealer in California in the late '60's & '70's. The 14 minute video is in production now, but we are running into lab costs to convert to DVD. We are looking for donations of $50.00 in exchange for a high resolution DVD of our 5 video projects thus far to help continue preserving forever the history of Tunnel Boat Racing in the Golden Era.

    Hiya Mark, Old farts are notoriously tight arsed, except when it comes to old tunnel boats, Parker and Havasu, Elsinore and the like, then they go all dopey and dewey eyed and reach into their wallets and will pay anything you ask them. For crying out loud tell the old gits how much you want-----even i might chip in a few Escudos, but remember i am retired and live on a meagre pension.

    Yeah----well he always had more money than the rest of us.
    How about a pensioners rate-----say 10% discount if your infertile, 12 and a half if your indifferent , 15 for the incompetant and a straght 20 for the incontenent.

    1972

    Did this beast run in the 72 race as predicted by this Popular Mechanics article? If so how bad it it do? Looks a tad on the bloated side.
