I've read the PB threads and, it looks like this should be a real cool event.  I just wish I had a boat that could play.  Ol Tom's squirt boat looks like its moving out pretty damned hard!

Not with that group!  :smile30: 

They're playing with speed and quickness that would put them in PE.  Maybe even QE.

The 501?

We'd have to work on its quickness.  660' course.    think.gif

Na we will tune for a full run and keep it there.  No need in jacking around just want to be ready for when it counts.

I need to spend the time to get my dialed in for Waco on Memorial Day weekend .. Not going to gear mine down that low for 660 feet . It would be fun to go  , but I have nothing for those guys up there

I think this is as much a challenge or grudge type gathering as anything. 
It's not a race.
Few of the v-drive guys will actually re-gear for the 660 or 800 or whatever.
The reason for thinking this would be, because, and I will use mine as an example.
Mine is geared to burn the prop to what I consider a reasonable maximum RPM for my engine and prop combination.
I don't want to turn the engine past that RPM.  If I gear it lower, the RPM will go higher than I want.
If I were to put a larger prop on, it might be beneficial to re-gear.  That would be assuming I had a gear / prop combination already worked out.
Others may disagree, but that's what I think.

Not all of us have pulleys we can swap.  :smile19:

When all you have is a naturally aspirated 10:1 factory block deal you need all the help you can get. I have lower gears left from my early years bracket racing with a nearly stock engine. No need to leave 1/4 mile gearing in for an 1/8 mile deal when you have a heavy boat with low horsepower.

So are you thinking about going Jim?

I haven't decided. 
It's earlier in the year than I'm normally ready.

What do you have to do to get ready Jim? Pull the cover off, hook it up to your truck and test the brake lights?

May 3. Lake Hugo is in southern Oklahoma, just north of Paris Texas. Only about 1 1/2 hours from McKinney.

Thank you. Where on Hogo? What park, camp ground, or cove?

Pretty sure there is only one park/campground on Hugo.  It is not a very big lake.

This single post has most of the info in it.  The corp has given their blessing since this post was made.  All law enforcement is now on board with this gathering.
