Don't know if it was from the wind and chop or what but I was a little disappointed by my 10s run on this one today. Almost that fast on 9s with the cut down S270. Ray keeps saying he want to put his GPS in it 'cause it sure looks faster in person.
It did handle the weather conditions nicely though.

Driving the little mean machine "PTD" (club specialty class) was loads of fun today.
Brian took a quick lead with his well powered (also good for 60+ on smooth water) Explorer cat but that didn't last for long in today's chop.
I took another one.

Brian's Sniper 45 with Castle 2028. Running just a little too loose for today's conditions. His trimming the rudder bottom did improve it's cornering though.

I really thought I had this round of Limited Spec Hydro sewn up until the heavy winds pushed me inside one of the buoys and cost me a lap. Chris' old stealth runs really good.

A really short round of LSO. Only two starters and didn't take long to narrow the field to one for another last man standing win.

This was actually the 2nd round of Q. Round 1 didn't get taped. This heat had 3 starts and Somehow the 2nd start got missed but it was comical too. Kind of llike a 3 stooges adventure. nyuk nyuk nyuk.

That's the last of them today. Now all I have to do is get the website updated.

Here's the 1st attempt on my Cheetah twin. Looks like it should be on a farm with the way it was plowing.

2nd attempt on the Cheetah after raising the stinger to the top of their adjustment and putting 1.5 oz. of ballast in the tail.
Still no love.

Took a break from the Cheetah to run the Falcon cat. After today I'm about ready to pull the Hydra Ice 200 and replace it with a Swordfish. Don't know exactly what's going on but got really aggravated with it just shutting itself down for no apparent reason.

In an act of desperation switched the rotation of the props on the Cheetah from spinning in to spinning out in hopes of it pulling the tail down and nose up. It worked but it really looked faster than what the GPS said it was.
