Five new NAMBA 2-lap records set today

[Darin Jordan]

With the N-2 rigger breaking 22 seconds, a properly set-up Q or T rigger should be able to break 20 seconds with ease - once the driver has the setup and a little more practice........

I agree... so does Brian... He wasn't driving one of his designs. Not sure what it was exactly. I think the odds are he'll build one of his own design that will go faster...

Good Enough... I'm curious if he ever found that last tenth for the P-Mono record... I talked to Brian and he said he was close...

Darin, I've been offline while moving today, but Tyler wrote me that the best he did on Sunday was 28.7 's. Your record stands.

While the Grim's runs were awesome, just PINNING the buoys, the look on the faces of the gathered racers when Brian ran "that little electric boat" had to be seen !

[Doug Smock]

Congratulations fellas!!!!! Well done!!!

Thanks Tony... Tell him that next time, hopefully I'll be there and will do whatever I can to help him get faster... Sounds like he was a prop away from getting that record as well....

Guess I'd better get to work on my P-Mono so I can attempt to bump that record myself...

Jay,
I'll go one further. I'm close to the limit of this N2 boat, with some more tuning of both boat and driver it should be capable of running close to 21 flat. That being said, it's still a heat race boat with quite a few concessions to made to being tough and survive heat racing abuse. It's at least a half pound heavier than it needs to be and there are some drive line tricks left out for ease of maintinance. The scary thing is it will run 12 second laps in heat race trim.

Mark, Chris and I were sitting at dinner (late last night) and after some serious thought figure an N2 could potentially break 20 seconds. Essentially all the FE hydro classes should run sub 20 second times. The other thought is that either P or Q class boats may end up being the fastest based on power to weight nad the difficulty of getting the bigger heavy boats to turn efficiently.

I learned one thing for sure, I need a new color scheme, the red and white boat is hard for me to really judge the attitute and direction. The white sponsons get lost in te rooster tail and turn fin spray. The red tub blend in more than you'd think if the water is at all brown.

I have to thank the Grims for all th help and support. I love time trials!

That's really good! I wish I woulda' went down there, sounds like you guys weren't playin'!
Maybe they'll do it in Minden this summer but you guys took advantage of the best event considering the weather wasn't 106deg LoL..
