The record was officially set at 5.16. The 5.20 from the first pass backed up the 5.16 in the afternoon. The 175mph pass we feel, was erroneous. Our data showed around 165mph. Maybe it happened, but we don't think so. Either way, it was hauling ass!!

Congratulations. Did you guys do anything different to the boat or engine, or was it just ideal conditions and great driving? That's blazing speed for sure.

They were talking about him having to back it up yesterday when he ran it... Did he run again in the afternoon? or just the one run? I had to leave, and TAF and TFH were looking for their second run.. I'm not real sure how all this works, but that's what I gathered from the announcer on the loudspeaker...

That's the way I understood it. That's why I asked if it was in fact a record or the fastest single run. Are they planning to run Monday, or are they done for this event?

Pretty sure it's done. So it'll have to be Firebird
