Tri hull racing yesterday.

[SonOfLegend84]

The first race of the year was yesterday in Highlands Texas.

Thought I'd give you guys a taste of how we play down south.

I'll post more pics when I get them off my camera, the first ones I have are of me of coarse.:D

It was a great show. We watched it from the water. you should make it down one weekend in the summer and run the river. There are plenty of fast stv's ally's and mirage's any given weekend.

It's no STV but it's alot of fun. The river is very nice just north of the race coarse. Beautiful houses and lots of boats.

inquiring minds want to know........:)A guy named John MIFFCO out of Houston builds the boats. The boats run just above 70 on good water and mid 60's in the BAD race water. Problem is at places like Highlands the make up run a little coarse so the spectators can see the whole race coarse.

My wife was taking the pictures and all she has put on the computer so far are of me so she could send them to my mother. She said she would add all the rest in the morning so I'll post them after work. I have about 50 pics of all the classes.

What kind of boats can they use for the tri-hull class?I will find out for you what production boats are legal. Most of the boats are MIFFCO race boats.

http://cgudgell.smugmug.com/gallery/2753072#P-1-15Thanks for the pics Mike. I'll let you know when I'm gonna be your way. You should come to the Port Neches race Mothers day weekend. It's a much bigger race with lots more boats.

Do you mind if I share that link with the guys over on www.******************** (http://www.********************) ?

Do you mind if I share that link of coarse you can


what motor's on them? all my buddies that have raced that class ran slightly modified OMC V4 crossflows, but I believe older inline 6 Mercury's are allowed

[SonOfLegend84]

of coarse you canThank you very much. Those guys will enjoy them as much as I did.;)

http://cgudgell.smugmug.com/BoatsBaker built all my Hydro's when I still raced on my knees. Tell him Tim Thibodaux said hello please next time you see him. Johnny Flemming told me David is off working right now but should be back soon. I'll bring the Hydrostream over and play but it's no 100 mph boat by any means.:D

[Casey]

I'll let him know. David does get on the boards when he's in town, but mainly just on Byuboyz (http://www.byuboyz.com/forums/). lately he's been posting under "wood"

all my buddies that have raced that class ran slightly modified OMC V4 crossflows, but I believe older inline 6 Mercury's are allowedThe inline is allowed to race but doesn't run with the V4 very well so nobody runs them anymore. David Baker had one for a while.
