Theres a single BBC sutphen RR on the lake in NJ where richie JR used to build boats. I forget the name of the lake.
Real nice boat it was ernie's (BOXER) old race biat and it was brought back to the factory for a total refurb new engine etc.
They are making the 277 in FLA also for 2011 only for custom builds though that I know of now.
Id love a ride in a krypto to see what its all about.
Anyone in CT got one?

First off- Very sad what happened. Don was a gentleman, and I admired his thoroughness and willingness to see a project through- the world could use a lot more guys like Don. My condolences to his family and friends for this terrible awful tragedy.
If we conclude that the ITS has an issue with parallel geometry then we must also conclude the #6, NXT, and Ilmor Indy have the same geometry "issues" as well as all use parallel rams. I dont believe this is the case.
I own 2 different boats with ITS's and I don't think Don could have made a much better choice.
After a lifetime of boats with power steering, having belts fail, pumps break, and all kinds of issues with all kinds of stuff - if any setup loses power from a broken line or a thrown belt its tough to steer.
Especially because it catches you off guard on the first twist- its enough to cause a real problem if you need to turn NOW and cant.
As for the multi belt, serpentine setup I have both as well, and will try to avoid going back to the multi at whatever costs are needed to do so, but thats my preference. I like cleanliness of the stouter single belt and minimization of tension adjustment points. Also the ability to run whatever amp alternator I like is a big deal for me.
Ive lost several friends in my lifetime of boating, and have concluded that going fast in boats is a calculated risk with real danger, not enough to make me stop doing it, but enough to take constant precautions, & to warn friends riding with me that **** can happen - and does.

Its a great run and lots of guys leave from OS at the same time and make a nice parade run up river.
