My First Ride in a K-boat- My story with k-034

[GotHalos]

First off, I can't thank K-034, Mrs. K-034, Papaletch4130 and everyone else enough! It was great meeting everyone and hanging out with you guys all weekend, had a blast.

Going into it, I must say I was a little nervous. I had been looking forward to this ride for a little over a month but after hearing a number or pretty wild stories from various people, before my ride, I couldn't help but be a little nervous. With that being said, as soon as I strapped on the helmet and Chris fired up the motor I couldn't help but smile. Everything everyone told me went completely out the window and I was ready for the ride of my life.

We made a couple slow passes in front of the makeshift "course" to get everything up to temp. Coming into the far turn, I tried to prepare myself for what I "thought" I was in for. Boy was I wrong, lol. As soon as he hit the gas I was thrown back in the seat and the boat rocketed to 100+ mph. I must say there were a number of things that went through my mind at this point but the funny thing is, I couldn't help but smile. It was an absolute blast. I will never forget the feeling of making that first pass. Everything became a blur except the color of the water flying some 6" underneath us.

I've been lucky enough to make some pretty fast passes in a number of mid-sized boats, hit 95+ on a dirt bike in the desert, but I can safely say nothing will ever compare to hitting 110+ in a small v-drive. If you should ever be offered the opportunity to take a ride in one or any other rocket ship, my only advice is, SAY YES.

We had 2 cameras on the boat Saturday and the footage came out amazing, if I say so myself. I will do my best to get it up as soon as possible, so you can get a glimpse into what it's like riding in the blown-alcohol k-034.

Thanks for reading, and thanks again to everyone involved.
