No, I don't have any close ups of the hardware, but if you go to Puddingstone you can check it out, I believe it planned to be there. Its a pretty cool arrangement and is incredibly adjustable.
If it doesn't kick ass at Puddingstone, it can't kick ass anywhere. But I wouldn't place any of my hard earned money on it.
Its not a good boat for tight tracks like Long Beach or Parker. It needs a big course like Puddingstone, or Burley.

If Too Tall Charlie was going to be there with the k150, my money would be on him. If Steve Sequera can get the K24 thru the corners fast enough, he'll bury them. And then there is Robbie Devine to deal with as well, and he can't flat get it thru the turns there. It should prove interesting.

I heard Buckles parked the K boat, but hopefully it's not true...

I asked Robbie about it at Parker, and he said they were being selective about the races they brought it too. I can see it going to Burley and Long Beach. Other than that its anybody's guess. He said they don't need to bring it to every event to win the championship. I think its as much a matter of it showing up when they need it to, to fill the class. But I could wrong. We'll see.

Who's the big guy holding the boat? Chris?

Some guy from an island that calls itself a continent because it sounds bigger and more important. He use to talk pretty funny, but its goes away. Until he goes back for a visit, then you can't under him for another 6 months to a year. Nice enough guy, but his breath smells of some shit called Vegemite most of the time.

If the motor stays together in the big orange machine it will be way out front.

If YOU were out there and I installed your return spring backwards, you'd be way out in front:biggrin:

There are lot of "IFs" in this race. This is race that can be won or lost in the turns, but for totally different reasons that Long Beach or Parker.
I would never discount the Ty in the Blown Bros boat, or Tony in the K69 either.

Its could get interesting.


I'm sitting here debating whether we should show up and reduce the IFs in the GN class a little:yikes:

LOL yeah I wish!

I'm picking Ty in the 66 for second and Steve will be right there close to him. I heard the 69 has a new driver.

You should definetely show up with your boat and kick some ass!
