Race numbers & names...

**hbchgirl** · 10-15-2013, 03:01 PM

So having just come back from the drag boat races in Havasu and seeing all of the different race boats/teams, I'm curious... for those of you that have a race boat/team or are part of one, whether it's drag boats, circle boats, K boats, water ski racing, etc., how did you come up with the boat number and team name if you have one???

Bought the boat and it was already the P550. So, We kept the number on the boat. There is a big Eagle on the wood boat, so we named it Scream'n Eagle.

When we purchased the new glass boat, our T-shirts already had P550 Scream'n Eagle so we kept the name and number

Our race team consists of me, my dad, uncle, brother, grandpa, cousins etc. My last name is Games so we decided to go with Games Boys Racing

We also have a few other good friends on the team that we consider family

Its a great public interest question. I got a little chuckle out of how you asked it with Ks listed as if they don't fit into the other groups.

When I can think up a really good BS story that sounds better than the boring truth I will post it up.

I am sure there are some cool stories behind some of them.

Haha...cut me some slack, I'm a girl! K boats are badass... in fact we (NRI) sponsors one of the prettiest K boats out there (K-034)... I'm waiting for them to chime in and share their story.

So let's hear the "boring truth" about yours!

I am sure their story goes something like "Chris, I want a K boat. Get your ass in the shop and build me one" with a possible reminder of who has control over "the unit" and bam, instant K boat. I am sure Mrs 034 has a slightly different story, but if you get Chris drunk enough, I am sure its comes out close to that.

Its OK that you had Ks in a separate category. Tony says they aren't really circle boats, rather nothing but drag boats with high speed turn offs and a quick trip back to do it again.
