Congrats guys. Very cool notch to put in the belt.

Congrats to Rod for putting together a nice working boat, Chad hill for always finishing well (even with his pet monkey co driver)

You know I haven't looked into that yet. It felt down on power every lap I made & was causing me to drag off the corners again. I had some problems with my distributor moving but fixed that or so I thought? I will investigate it this weekend. The motor is running fine at the moment. My 4 blade prop got tuned up into a 3 blade on the 6th lap & then to compensate for the missing blade it went ahead and put a nice offset in the prop shaft & relieved the end of the strut where the bushing is pressed in. The alternator blew apart from the bang as well as unidentified pieces floating around inside near the transom...

These heavy boats are very tuff on parts. I guess I am just to stubborn to give up.

So I will say.... NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRRGGG!

History is history...and John Lane and John Roth made history yesterday.... Economy is tuff right now, but 40 boats made the call...The ROD ZAPF handicaps give everyone one a chance, and the LAST MINUTE DIvision VVI rule was GREAT...No boats left behind...

EXCELLENT RUN...JOHN ROTH/JOHN LANE and crew....a well deserved victory!!!!

I'm calling for a THREE YEAR FREEZE on the rules...
