Funny thing is, up until last night there really wasn't any smack talk going around about Chatt. It was a little strange, I must admit. And I do have the reputation of throwing it around, so ya just run with it. As for Sandbagging, I am just a novice compared to a few others that will be in the hood at Hales Bar, but to even be mentioned in the same context is good for this wannabe.

In regards to the top secret cav plate, we are on to v2, and it has nothing to do with the Cig Boys, as it was designed and created by Donzi Crew right here. Truth? The thing slows the Flowerpot down, but the handling improvements and the durability factor, sick of the old shrapnel drive part game as referenced by Trueser, are driving me to stick with it and tune the boat to it, which is taking a ton of time. If all I was worried about was speed, we could just mount up the Break-O-Matic IMCO plate with a P5 Hydro and go drag ZX's, slot car style.... Just might.

Fear the Flowerpot! Yeh right.

Looking forward tone cave plate unavailing and expecting stellar results, being that it was designed in house at the donzi camp....Todd you are the master at sandbagging and think that it will be awesome to run rail to rail with yuo.....
I will be arriving Thursday afternoon with the weasel and getting things prepped for a weekend of festivities and burning up some benjamins....

And yes we have a cocktail cruise on Friday evening planned for those who are there and ready to get things started....it will either be on the sport fish or the Roamer depending on headcount....

Anyone on the fence about coming get off and bring it, the more the merrier.......

I will be with you. We can let the high speed guys strafe by. That will probably be most of us. I was thinking about a nice 50 mph run up the Gorge.

Do we have any other real fast boats other than SE and Tex?

SE is right.....don't take the bait on my X-18. It did look like it was running 90 as it pulled away but a proper Donzi should look like it is running 90 when sitting at the dock.

We will be there Friday evening, but do not know exactly what time. It all depends on Lady Mario(aka Lady Griz)

Like she was slowing you down when you came by the sand bar at 85+ last weekend.

You guys let that "I'll leave an hour early to make sure I get where you are going, too" stuff stand, and I get hauled out as the Sandbagger? I might be a Sandbagger, but only in an honorary/decoy sense, for the real Sandbaggers in attendance. Funny, how I can run the living crap out of the SE and never totally lose my wingmen, Buizilla and Madpoodle. Remind me tell you about the chisled pitch numbers on a prop on a certain, darker color Crit a year or two ago at Lake George. Classic stuff.

Then, there is Itillfli, Mr. People's Choice Mean Machine Award Winner for AOTH X. And Dad taught him all the River-running tricks, so you will get no breaks...

As for me, now that I'm going to commit to the plate, I need to start propping the boat. Maybe, Griz will have some mercy on me and let me try that OXP again. The nose of the Flowerpot feels like somebody attached an anchor to it, so we need a little lift. I'll be lucky to keep up with Hedge in the x-18, whimper, whimper...

We will get up and roll Friday morning. Should be in a little after lunch.

Don't think the list has changed much, but we got plenty of food for Saturday night, so c'mon on down if you are fence sitting!
