With the SLOWEST boat in HIS fleet of 4 LIGHTNING's,he left for cresent city,with a bad bearing in his gear case,we had put 34 cc heads on earlyier in the week,he stopped by Jeff's shop( SKITTLES)fixed the bearing problem,picked up his new drag prop that had been over nighted in that morning,picked up FESTER and headed to the race,stopped off in eustis,to try the boat out,( it ran) put it on the trailer and headed north,Then proceeded to win every RACE in his class,to recieve the checkered FLAG in his FIRST ever DRAG race ! GREAT JOB ANDY ! Now he's HOOKED and every body better watch out! Our BOY ROB (HOT SHOT)did well allso,taking a Third in his class after beating the second place boat in one race,which the second place boat had beat the first place boat once ! All in all a FUN day of Racing !I guess its time to dig out a old 200 2.5 motor out the junk pile ,and build a new LIGHTNING HST ,and see if I can keep up with my LIGHTNING BOY's??????? All so FESTER ,from the LTB's is getting ready to put his HYDROSTREAM IN the MIX ! GOOD LUCK to ALL ! it was a GOOD TIME ! JOHN LIGHTNING POWER BOATS RACE ONE OR CHASE ONE !

Congrats Andy and Rob. I'm convinced it was the propshaft bearing that won it . Sorry I missed it, but was just to busy to get out of the shop. Maybe next time.

I beat the first place winner once and the guy that got second beat me by a hair.With that said we had a great time and will be at the next as well.Congrats Andy on your first ever race with a win.Thanx to all who put this thing together and keep up the good work.I came up there on friday night to help set up the course and scales but dont know if I can do it every race.Some help by any fans or racers would be greatly appreciated in the future by the FBI.This was a great start in my opinion for the FBI so comeon guy's bring your race boats to the races a little more rathet than running smack and sandbar raceing.There is a lot of you guys out there that would have done very well had you came.
