Spot on!
Von, I agree. The shame of it is that with a stock F motor he would have won any way and got his trophy. Once again the boat is thrusted in a cloud of contraversy with potential for people to say WTF. I know LOTO is for fun but handing people trophys and putting them in a record book without some type of inspection will only draw shallow people to get there name in the book. Its a shame the hard working teams dont have a chance against this kind of racer. With out a inspection LOTO shouldn't have a record book for this bracket. I predict the 105 MPH record will never be broke with a stock F motor.
The SVL class has only gone from 93 MPH to 95MPH in the last 10 years of testing all differant hulls,prop's,x dim,CG's and now in 1 year it is possable to get to 105

Loto I always was told is for fun ONLY .I can,t imajine anyone taking one of those trophys too seriously anymore .
Its a charity event as has been said over and over .
Put a legal motor in the fountain and the " so called by some "( not up to par )" Phantom and Extremes will still keep up with it .
Don,t give up on that activator just yet , it can hold its own .I,ve seen that thing in big water that I dont know the fountain could handle .
As randy says ,This is just an opinion of course .

Then why was the Fountain so bent out of shape last year when Lance went 100 MPH with a 800 HP motor. Im pretty sure there are some class rules. Who knows how to find them?
Again last year I believe the Fountain went 94 MPH I believe. Thats after a year of dialing in and this year it picked up another 11 MPH. Thats a lot of gain.
What were the other pass speeds the Fountain made this year at LOTO or did he do just one run?

Here's the web site and the list of winners by class.
http://www.lakeoftheozarksshootout.org/results.html
Looks like they have a class for every different configuration of boat.
Doc ran in class PV2F1 NOT SVL.
I looked but couldn't find any rules or explanation of the classes. So the mystery continues.

My ONLY concern is anyone shows up at LOTO puts there boat in a stock 525 class and lay's down a 105 Radar and a 108 GPS run and the racing word says WTF. How? There is no way I am buying a SVL boat and racing against that,we dont have a chance. And that folks is how you kill a SVL class! So either the truth needs to be known and shared with the SVL guys or I cant imagine any SVL guy's wasting there time racing against a 105 MPH boat. Or the org's just bann the boat to save the rest of the class.

WE talked to doc while we were in line to get our trophy at loto it did go 105 but he said that it was not a 525 race motor that they would race with .
That being said who knows what it really was but no funny business this was loto not a svl race they were going for speed and fun and he also said the correct 525 would be in the boat for the next race they went to hope this help a little and stops a little of the second third party info.
Also on one pass they were in front me as far as power i dont know but i do know they must have had a big wheel on it because it was very slow getting up to speed it was working hard to get some rpm.

Randy u r worried about this hurting the class but the more press u give it and the more questions u ask the worst u r making it. Pretty clear it wasnt a stock 525 so who cares how fast he ran it was just for fun. You whipped his ass in KW last yr and sure you can do it again. Remember last yr there was no drive height rule, now he has to be 1/2 below the bottom like he did in Mich City lets see what happens????
