[QUOTE=Double Rigged;2919768][quote=jperog;2917988]
For the record according to the best of our memories FLAT can do NEVER beat the best 28 to ever run Mobil 1. Beat those guys flag to flag at Lake of the Ozarks with a first lap speed of 118mph.
Great guys but Rob Loeffler and Tom Russell got it done not to mention the impeccable rigging jobs on the boat. Oh yea that was me!
Attachment 364360[What year would that have been roughly? I know that in 98' to 2000' period they won more then their fair share of entered events when it was calm. When I asked Gary if he was ever able to get around them in a calm race his answer was no-never. I love that time period of open outboards but todays S class is much safer.

Joe,
I would have to ask them for the exact dates but here is a pic with the checkered flag from Lake of the Ozarks. The thing to mention is they beat the best Mercury Fuel Injected teams with modified carb'd motors built by Albert Ensweller. He was the best and loved beating mother Mercury's best........
I was at the Skater booth in Miami a few years back talking to Peter and he said those guys still get fired up about the Mobil One boat. Gary Ballough also spent many races chasing them.
Their motors were torn down almost every time after a race and inspected due to protests by other teams and they always passed.
We were also called cheaters but i can tell you the boat was within all the current rules of the APBA at that time.
