Lol. Next year you'll probably have some huge PSI's (looking like small blocks) sitting in that beatch.

No, morning run will be 48miles overall, longer for the 100mph club. The afternoon run will be 24 overall. The overall distance traveled will be similar to going to Milw. and back.

Dan, did you sign up yet? We only have a couple from the Chicago crew signed up. I was hoping you, MikeT, JoeG, BZ and the others would get in on this. We worked hard to keep the cost down on this run and if you look at other runs the price is right. Then look at what you are getting for the money and it is a no-brainer.

I still plan on making the run. Went out on fathers day, first time out in 3 years. Awesome water for sure, was nice and big off Racine. But just like I thought I remembered Starboard trans is puking. Delayed shifting and slipping getting out of the hole. I have a replacement trans, just got it last week so I need to bring her home and R&R. While the motors are out I want to dump the geardrives on the cam replace with new chains and re-tdc the motors for timing. Overall ran pretty good and felt great.

I got chocolate milk in one motor and after a winter of work and tons of $$ I`ve lost any motivation to do anything about it. Sorry Rick, doubt I`ll be making it. Thinking about a bow rider or sail boat. ..or maybe taking it in the middle of the lake and emptying a drum of 7.62x39 into it. Actually:
