LA SAW Update...

[Darin Jordan]

Hey Gang,

please read thread on quotes.

Can't wait to hear what happened from Brian! I wonder if he put the "A" motor in for that run?? I'm guessing he'll be going after the 100+ club tomorrow!

Thanks Darin,
Keep us as up to date as possible thru the weekend. If you talk to Brian tell him Ken and all the Wave Blasters wish everyone good luck.

What hull did Brian run this year?

[Steven Vaccaro]

Bill called me to tell me the news. He smashed the old record with the ToysPort Joker I sold him.

[Darin Jordan]

I talked briefly to Brian tonight... hopefully more later... he was in the middle of cleaning up for the day...

He made a 99mph one-way with his P-Hydro with a 1521 1D Heat racing setup... Blew off on the return and did some minor damage, but he'll be back with it tomorrow... His goal is well in sight! Again... 4S1P guys!!

He also made an amazing 94mph one-way pass with his Whiplash Sport 20 hull with his P-Sport HEAT racing setup in it! Not sure if that one was 1P or 2P... I'll find out tonight...

Stay tuned...

Please read thread on quotes.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Thanks for the info Darin. I'm not trying to get into a debate with this next question, but did they decide to run 1P or 2P?

Also what is the current namba strline p hydro record?

[Darin Jordan]

Looks like Brian just bumped the P-Sport record to 85 and some change just a bit ago... with a one way pass of 95mph! Conditions are reported to be excellent, so results today should be GREAT!

Steven, the plan was to run 1P in the Riggers... but I'm not sure if that was for the P-Sport Hydros as well... I'll have to ask Brian...

[Darin Jordan]

Also what is the current namba strline p hydro record?

P-Hydro is currently 96.03 set in 2004 by Matthais Boese with a Lehner...

P-Sport is currently 76.55 set in 2005 by Brian... with his Dark Horse Shovel and a Neu...

The setup Brian was running yesterday when he broke the record was a fairly conservative heat racing setups... I think we may see it over 100 today if all works out...

You can find the link to the records on the NAMBA site... I'd post it here, but....

Thanks, Ken

I agree 100% you do great work Darin and I am grateful for all the advise I have received from you.

I personally have never seen a comment on this forum that can be credited as hurting this hobby. IMHO what hurts this hobby are people who loose site of the fact that not all of us are out to race, break records or run over 50mph. The quest for speed is one of the things that runs most guys out of this hobby "IMO". I just don’t see complaining about costs doing damage to this hobby what so ever. Just my 2 cents.

SJFE I totally agree, this site has been a breath of fresh air. Everyone seems to be very fair and friendly here no matter their point of view. I was referring to some problems elsewhere. I do not want to stir things up either. Maybe I should not have even posted those comments earlier. We are all the guardians of this FE. hobby. My post was merely in support of Darin in all his efforts to help everyone, and keep us informed.
Sorry if I did not explain that very well.

Hey Gang... some more news from Brian Buaas (Brian's words in italics and quoted):

"The ESC failures are being blown completely out of proportion. There have been 2 Hydra240 failures, one unexplained the other was being run on 6S against the mfg recomendations. One Novak died." Apparently Mark F. is burning stuff up, but also apparently this isn't out of the norm for him...

"63mph for P mono, 38mph for LSO, 53mph for N2 mono. Troy Fuller is running my N2 mono, best pass is 49mph in full heat race trim." "Full Heat Racing trim" for Brian means a 1515 0.5Y... Sounds like Troy will be going back after it tomorrow with a SAW setup...


Brian set the P hydro record at 101.7 with tons more in the boat. Ran a one way of 95.8mph with the whiplash in P Sport but he had to pedal it big time on the return, for an 85mph ave.

"I did kill a 4S pack today by draining it too low (stupid of me). "


101.7 in P-HYDRO!! HOLY MOLY that's a fast 4-cell boat!!

Way to go Brian... of course, I never doubted you'd be up there... just wondered how high!!

[sjslhill]

101.7! wow congrats to Brian

[SJFE]

Wow great Stuff Darin. Those numbers are nothing short of amazing .

No problem Ken. Thanks for the reply and clarification:).
