    Lucas Oil Drag Boats

    We did pretty good for our 1st in a half year out, went to the semifinals in Parker last year, then at the season opener we where number one qualifier out of the box with a 5.302 on a 5.30 index but went out in the quarter finals because the fuel pump broke and we destroyed the blower. Parker this year with a new blower went to the Finals but got beat by break out, we ran a 5.292 l, broke out by .008 of a second. Chandler at the world Finals took out Tommy Tompson with a 5.32et first round but unfortunately broke a throttle cable second round, all in all we had a really good year and learned what parts need to be checked, looking forward to running again eventually. As far as the boat, dad has that thing dialed in

    Ummmm 5.312, not 5.320 against Tommy Thompson, babe. It’s a huge difference in this class.

    Thanks for the summary C&C....

    I admire your families cohesiveness and having such a cool project to work on together!

    What kind of MPH do you hit in order to run a 5.3xxx et? Are you close to the ragged edge with your set up?

    Thanks Bruce! Running about 168mph. And nowhere near the edge, Joe’s been fighting with her to slow her down. This boat just wants to go fast.
