Boat 9 in above photo was a Molinari and it was in the 78 overall winner. Boat was rigged and set up at John's Custom Marine, we had the winners in 3 classes that year.

I believe surfrat on YouTube is covering the race.
I will find out and post.
I apologize for the late response.
We lost our front motor right at dust testing. Fuel injection failure leaned out 5 and 6.
Just finished putting the backup motor on with carbs.
Heading up river to Parker tomorrow to finish our testing and driver meeting

Damn what a bummer. Did yall not have the injectors tested or sumthin?

**Baker343** · 10-25-2019, 10:53 AM

Injectors were flowed and tested.
The harness checked out ok.
Need to send our Brucato out for testing
And retest injectors

**Da Bull** · 10-25-2019, 04:27 PM

Damn that hurts. So what class were you planning on running with the injected motor?

**Baker343** · 10-26-2019, 08:17 AM

Were running Div VI which allows 2.4 and 2.5.
We will be running our backup 7 petal carb 2.4.
We missed on the porting a little bit but were going to run it like we stole it, hopefully for 4 hours.

Watching the race on www.Surfrat.tv and with an hour left I am happy to see so many boats still going strong! Looks like it was a great event this year!

I see that Nordic came back out and won the overall again. Were they using a $200+K Mercury Racing 1350 twin turbo four-cam motor with a M6 drive? LOL!!! You could race that combo with two 5-gallon buckets dragging behind you and still hit the 109mph target all day.

I just turned it on as baker was comin in. Does anyone know y?

The 343 finished 4th in Div6. I ran the first leg 90 minutes, averaging about a 4:45 lap times and used 25 gallons of fuel.
On the second leg we lost a lower unit at about 1:50, possibly from a torque flow hub letting go. Our boat was at the other end of the course and was towed 3 miles back to the pits.
Change the lower and got back on the course with about 1hr left.
I did 1 lap and something felt weird with the lower unit or prop.
Nursed it back to the pits and discovered the 2 tiller bolts to the exhaust plate had started to back out and we were missing the 3 bolts that hold the exhaust plate to the midsection in the rear were missing. Fixed that and finished the last 4 laps, taking the checkered flag. We worked now stop from Wed until the race changing elect parts power heads and testing jets and props and I can't wait to do it all over again next year with my family and friends
