I got to meet some really great people- Speedracer, Instigator, K.K., Thaw Ripper ,Whitey & many others. It was an absolutely killer weekend & I'll be back next year & faster I hope! :D

Same to you and sorry for dissapearing on you Sunday but was on a tight ass schedule as you know.
Keep me posted on your next project and congrats to you and how well you ran.
Other than Jeff Youngs three point you clearly were the class of the OMC field.
To those that don't know, this guy is running an all OMC 2.7 based carbureted power head and the thing is freagin smokin!
Well done sir and I have passed that along to our buddy in Miami as well.

Same apology to you for dissapearing on you.
Congrats on being selected "Mayors Select" though.
To those that don't know the mayor of Carrollton walks through the pits and picks the boat that she thinks best represents the Rumble attitude.
Larrys killer Johnny powered rig was selected!!
Good job Larry!

Thanks for the kind words Gary. I'm happy with the way it runs but not "satisfied" as I think there is alot more potential there. Do'nt give it another thought about runing off Saturday. I know you were on a tight schedule & I was glad to meet you & talk as long as we did. :)

Hi K.K.
I really enjoyed meeting & talking to you also. I do'nt know about "crushed you" but I was happy to just be able to sneak by you. Have you looked at your motor yet? I hope it's not hurt bad. Are you going to the Hardy Party in September? If so I'll see you there! :D

Hi Jeff
Beer in Michigan?? Naw, The Temperance Movement is firmly intrenched here statewide & most of us don't even remember what beer tastes like :rolleyes:
Anyway you're right it has been a long time & I enjoyed seeing you again & wish that we coulda talked longer. We'll be at the sandbar on Marble Lake Friday night for the drags-comeon up if you can!

Even though my son Travis(outboards 4 life) and I spent most of the weekend working on my V-8 trying to get it running, I had a great time meeting a lot of new friends. Tony , thanks for the use of the flywheel. Greg ,thanks for the use of your flywheel holder. Charlie, thanks for all the help,again! We'll be back again next year and maybe this time we'll actually be able to run on the first day!
