But the best for last. 5800 rpm accelerating like a corvette. Could we have held on longer in the nasty conditions I am sure hitting the "conservatively set" rev limiter ( 6500) would have been easy. At 5800 rpm I was still being pressed into my seat like a 747 on takeoff. This was the best picture speed wise of the day but my memory remembers 92 at 6200 rpm as our actual top for the day...but there is more....soooo much more

Chris, Thanks for your help and photo's. Hopefully I'll have time to take her out once more before AOTH to double check everything.
Frank, I don't think I can use all the power I have. So, I took the laughing gas off. Let's hook it up to your 26 ... You know I miss that stuff... I had two jets to the engine and one facing me!!! (joke) GEOO

Scot,
I'll let you drive, as long as I can wear the kill switch cord!!! (Chris can sit in the back and take photo's) The speed is nice; but not as fun, as the thrill, of the acceleration. The sound and the push back in to your seat is pretty neat. I couldn't wipe the grin off my face when I hit the throttle at 40mph and in a few second was running 70 mph. It's kind of cool; I'll never need to race anyone fast any more. All I need to do is hit the throttle and instantlly I'll be a hundred feet ahead, then I can back off. It feels like I have afterburners attached to the transom. GEOO
