It is still amazing to me that many of you don't know what it takes to set a world record?
The APBA is the sanctioning organization for the UIM of Monaco here in the U. S. The previous record holders are in the UIM web site as they always will be, My friend Paul Nichols records are there in his various classes he has two or three, including most hair spray in a helmet.LOL!!!!!! They have class's from PWC to Ken Warbys 300+ boat, good dude by the way, stayed in the room next to him in Fla. a few years back, A very humble and unassuming man, I thought he was just passing by, didn't realize he even knew what a boat was. LOL !!!! I'm going through this for the last time , A world record is set by a two way pass of a kilo which is 5/8 miles, which it takes about 3/8 for me get to what ever the current record is, so you have to keep it on pad for at least a mile + as the markers can float and may not be the true electronically timed kilo. So best I can figure I would have to be on pad for 2.5 miles in two different directions to set a record.
I bought my boat out of a salvage yard, had a stock Mercury Drag, I'm not a boat Mechanic, I'm an electrician, it takes me three hours min. to test a prop as I'm a mountain boy and don't have a lake to run on. I broke three records in three day's, Jaco's 105 the first day, two the third day , my own and then Glen Reynolds the third for top speed for a bass boat which his was 1/8 mile with a stop watch mine was 5/8 mile with state of the art timing equipment.
Bring on your special boats built by Bullet and Stroker with special built motors and drivers like me who don't give a ****, I like them boys, they're goodens, I sold the carp boat, just drag racing now, which I ain't worth a **** at, scaring the hell out of the other racers, but if one of yall will let me borrow your 2002 for a few days, we,ll show them the *** end.
