I respect you and of course Randy and Glenn know me personally, but I can attest to Franks run last year of 86.215 mph avg. I know first hand that it is(the boat) APBA legal because it is the same exact setup it ran APBA with 2 years ago and when I was on his team we always kept it up to APBA rules. The funny thing is that the day after when I was balancing the boat with the weight I hit the tickertape GPS and saw 88.6. Mind you this is with the HP500 and not the 525.
I am not trying to start anything with anybody but in conversations with Frank I know in my heart he will come back to play when all of the political bull crap is resolved. So I guess then we shall see....
And most certainly you are right kilos and racing is 2 different ball games and in over 4 ft seas the Kryptonite will dominate the fountain but I know Franks boat will keep the dog pound honest under 4's.
And believe me I hope that Randy and Glenn can squeeze 3-4 more mph out of the black beauty, but I know Frank is still working on getting more speed as we speak. It should turn out to be interesting.

True, Kitten, true. That statement was phoned in, and in the beginning, the news situation was a bit shakey.
