Until we have an official Kilo run. Let's show the Lake Runners how fast our T boats are when they are set up as a Lake Racer and not as a circle race boat. The big boys have their 100 MPH club. Let's see if we can have a 65 MPH club for T750 and an 80 MPH club for T850.

You need to post the video with the GPS speed on this thread as your entry. Erik, no you cannot pull your VooDoo on its trailer behind your VW!
The boat DOES NOT need to be a legal T race boat. But it has to be the same as a T boat, but, unrestricted by any rules other than engine size and boat length. Same as most Lake Runners.


So Far in T750 Jake Elsey has a video recorded speed of approximately 58 mph and that is on a race course.
The current World Record for the T750 Kilo is approximately 66 MPH, so there is some catching up to do.

In T850 Dave Elsey has a GPS reading of over 76 MPH, however there is no video for that run.

We will get a nice Trophy for each and add their name and boat information if we get a lot of interest.

:shock: With less than 4 minutes experience in Hevi Kevi's boat and the first time ever in one 72 mph :? . Too doo 80 mph I would need another 4 minutes seat time and a bigger wheel...LoL
It would be some what scary but the boats could run 80 + no problem, I think :shock:
Should get one of those baby's :mrgreen:

That is the reason for the challenge. To get performance people interested. Most start with a Lake Runner. We know that it only takes one race for a Lake Runner to get hooked on racing.

KAL Kevin's pictured boat is at TOP GUN and for sale

Don't think 80 would be an issue considering Aussie kilo set with an SST60 at 81 and change.

Bottle fed! :mrgreen:

I have an NOS system with the small bottle for a twin carb Ski Doo application. The crank and block are super strong
on the 2 cylinder Mariner power heads I have. Since I have several power heads, I will try it.

There's a 10lb bottle in my shop right now...several powerheads...and my limiter is unhooked. Time to fog the bonnet (Aussie for cowl) ( I made that last part up)...:)
