I have been in contact with him. Have you had any contact with Jeremy Deluca? I was told he was part of Second Effort. There are about 20 different facebook porfiles with that name. perhaps you might know the correct one.
thanks

A different international flavor at this year’s Shootout..
This 2008 “pleasure” Fountain 42 use to win "Poker Runs" in Sweden with Ben Robertson as the driver.
Now it’s here at Lake of the Ozarks with new more powerful 2 X 1550/1350 motors rigged by Ben.
Top speed around 165 MPH.
Ben is probably one of the best drivers ever..
Use to win everything in F1-V8 racing and plenty of success in offshore racing including the UIM World Speed record in a Fountain with Reggie as his co-pilot.
First picture is Carina next the the 2008 Fountain 42 yesterday at the street party.
Second picture is Carina & Ben at our favorite place Casablanca at the strip.
The third picture speaks for itself..https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e...5/16/1f603.png
PS..The boat is going to be shipped back the Sweden later this year.

Heading over to Captain Ron's..
Ben is doing some testing.

Let's not forget who made Ben's success in F1-V8 dominance back then. It was Bob Thompson. He wrote all the checks and reeled in the NAUI sponsorship. Bob goes all the way back to Ben's Sport J racing days (Just Add Water). It's funny that Ben was never considered as an alternate factory driver for either Merc or OMC?Quote:

Tim Meyer a friend and business partner with Bob Thompson came with Ben to the Shootout last weekend to support him.
Its Tim to the right in the picture I took yesterday.
Ben told me a lot of fun stuff during dinner from back when he was racing with Cees Van Der Velden/drove Second Effort F1-V8 boats for Gary G.
I get to that later.

"One last thought before we close the book on the LOTO Shoot-Out this past weekend.
Ben Robertson's milestone 152 mph speed earned Top Gun honors for the second year in a row in the Manufacturer's V-Bottom class.
Ben's 42' Lighting, originally built in 2007, was powered by Mercury 1350/1550s and had full cabin/cockpit upholstery.
Ben's time was the fifth fastest overall"

Lars awesome boat and congrats to your friend on hitting such a high number! Are there any vid clips of the runs it made?
@LakeFever
Well..there is a video of Ben's 152 run on FB but does not work here.
If you know Ben..he loves Speed, Racing and Girls..:iagree:..maybe in the wrong order..!!..:)
