NEWS FLASH, PINK’S AT LAKE GEORGE

well chated with reid over the week-end to get the low down from the hourse's mouth on what he's loading up and boy are you guys in for a good old fashioned ass whooping on the water when he opens it up with the new mod's sorry I won't be there to take your money on side bets.

Now that's good !!

You lose my phone number 79? I have left you numerous messages since July.

Reid: At eight (8) hours I am a whole lot closer than you...or if you are going by...you could always stop to sleep or eat at Cherry Pockets.

Sandbagger!

Joe, do you by chance have a 5 point harness/belt and maybe a HANS device you could bring along, so I can confidently and safely give rides? For some simple math that most have already figured out by now: Whatever Reid says\2 = the truth. However, you might want to divide by 10 in this case.

And TimD, I forgot to add a nice thank-you for that flattering and encouraging artwork above. I'll have it appropriately displayed.

I've got confirmed good news. Well not necessarily good for me or Dave, but for the rest of the boat race fans. It looks most definite now that Eddie Johnson will be bringing his pristine 1990 retrofitted Python BFN to LG. Did someone already mention that a Python has more than 409 HP?   
     

As cool as his boat is...watching Eddie foot is even better. Was honored to be in the 6 man with him at Reid's last summer.

Hey guys, don’t know how to break it to ya but I saw the fabled orange boat IN PERSON a few weeks ago. Doesn’t look NEARLY as good in person as it does in the pics you see on this site. I was disappointed to say the least!

Now I’m no dummy but a few things confused me about the boat:

1- Isn’t the prop in the wrong place? (Does that behindpropeller fella know something we don’t?)

2- Not just the prop but look at the dang engine…409 hp my butt!

3- Does that match the definition for an inboard?

4- Where the heck is the pylon?

Now photographic, non-photoshopped proof of how the boat really looks:




shouldn't be much of a race...

Ok, I can't sit here anymore and listen to this ###$@@@..

You want to go heads up, title for title!!!!!

The consolation prize for 2nd place...

...I hope Dave likes orange soda...or is it "Pop" up there!!!

I agree, everyone's eerily silent on this subject and I've been checking this thread daily for the outcome. Perhaps Reid is tied up at the moment, trying to figure out how he's going to tow TWO boats home!?!

so what you are saying is Reid won, right?

     What the heII is he talking about?!?!?!? Is Reid just test driving his latest acquisition?!?

I'm told that Reid doesn't do "ties"!!!

agreed

The GodFather sure does talk alot, but he dont say much!
