Idea: What about a "Bragging Rights" forum... For posting your top speeds, 1/4 ET...

[Scream And Fly]

What do you think? A forum for posting your accomplishments - top speeds, 1/4-mile ET, speed records, and how you did it.

What do you think?

sounds cool. But if I see bragging, you better have some solid proof to back it up. Don't need some BS figures thrown around.

If possible, it should be like an application form, not just wild numbers. Like the Hydrostream registry sorta idea, but the user itself could do it. Is that possible?

[Scream And Fly]

Well, I thought it would be fun to have something more interactive, where people can discuss their setup and experiences. It's mainly for fun though.

We both know that would get out hand. All the pricks out there always find a way to put down the other member and their set up. Most people are fine but there are the selected few who I will leave anoymous. Give it a try!

[RUNWME]

But add me to the list.

1989 Dixie with 4.3 v-6. Runs 107mph spinning a 17 pitch aluminum prop at 4300 rpm (will do it only if I have added octane boost)

10 ft boat. Ran 114 with 2.5 merc before blowing over. It landed right side up and kept going. I feel there was more speed in it, but I got scared

HHEHE I think its a cool idea Greg, will be curious to see results. It will give us newbies something to shoot for in set up and speed. Kinda like a dangling carrot

[heath brinkley]

Yeah, sounds good. let the BSer's post their BS, big deal. when aksed about set up's, pics, mods, ect. their answers will expose them anyway. Except for someone fudgin' their numbers just a little to one up somebody. True braggin' rights, that's why God made lakes and drag strips. That's where the men will be.;)

Make it confirmed speeds. By that I mean you have to have a picture of the gps after, and atleast one other witness. Video would be even better

[Skittles]

We'll can let RMH77 patrol it and keep the bullsh!ters (LPB:eek: ) in line............sounds like it could be a fun thread;) :D
Pictures and witnesses a must.

[WATERWINGS]

RUNWME,

see, you've started already............

that was me driving the 10 foot boat, and it blew over at 121 MPH, but it did land back on its bottom, then I rode a 1/4 mile wheelie before letting off the throttle.

I tell you, some people.........just can't tell the truth.:rolleyes: :D

[Jeff "Yammer"]

Why not extend the BS into another area !!!! Lol;)

Just kidding

[fullthrottledps]

I think you need a bashing site .Everytime I try and sell something someone always talking trash. let them do it there instead on my post. Its a thought. trash talk,B.S,welcome here

Cool vintage pic of parker. Heard some stories about that boat :eek:

[northeastcat]

Yeah great it was just gettin good then fullthrottledps had to come along and screw it up for everyone... man if youd only learn to stop fillin every one full of BS... :D :D :D
Sorry Dan I just couldnt resist ;)
I think it would be a great thing to have , and F that on all the prove it GPS stuff... we will all know who is the BSr and who aint.
Besides I was wantin to tell about my rig and how fast it is but at about 172 the GPS got sucked off the dash and I cant prove it now.;) It might a been 171... I dont want to exaggerate:p

I think the only way it'd work would be with an automatic poll attachment to each new thread where people could vote thumbs up, thumbs down, or total BS.:D :D

[WATERWINGS]

There were alot of witnesses, I was there........high 8's in the 1/4..........

This guy and his dad started the company I work for now.

I like the vote idea also. And it should be a must to disclose set up, props, heights etc. and share the info with others…


:cool:

Kewl run by David. I was there as a specatator also.

Too bad they turned unlimited into a heavy weight class. Here's my time from the last race. Reaction time, ET and speed done with digital sensors......no radar stuff. Tune for dial in was off so I put the bottle in and sprayed it on the big end to see just what it would do.:D

[espen]

Ranking of members ?
a long list of all members with their top speed or et or hp or anything ;-)
weight /hp top speed ?
Would be kewl to have a sticker on the boat saying screamandfly ONE. and the class, some rules could be set how the record should be set , safety equipment, video +++
Then you can race anytime you want and have ranking changed .

I like Raceman's Idea. Plus, how would we know how "authentic" these records, etc. would be? curious

[dotz]

I think it would be great for us new guys we could tell what we are doing and the expereced people coul tell us what they think wiether good or bad. Plus you could get ideas on new setups
