I was thinking about adding hydrolics. I already have enough speed. It would be cool if I could make the front end jump up and down. I was also thinking some 20's on some real skinny rubber.

20's on skinny rubber ??? Leave the kids' wheels on their bicycles Need
Figured hydraulics would be next on your rig, seeing how you already have the blenders wired in series at 24volts to make all the girl-e-man drinks as fast as you can add mini umbrellas to them.


Nice to feel the love from respondents. This merry band of pirates seems poised to function at a higher level yet again.

You might as well add hydrolics, your cooler only has top end speed of 3.4 mph at WOT with 120 rpms, anything faster and you might get hurt ?

44.7 confirmed on GPS. If you can keep it pinned for 5 minutes I will give you 74 cents and a half eaten twix.

Did you make 2 passes for an average of 44.7 gps and was the cooler full of beer and ice or was it empty ?

Actually I like to run it with 24 beers and full to the brim with ice. Helps it hook up on the starts. Just FYI I also always carry gal. of bleach incase we need to get some smoke rollin'.

So what is everyone's take on having another HELICOPTER at this years run? The one we had a couple years ago is no longer available but we found another company out of the Rochester area. Would you all be willing to purchase photo's taken from the chopper to help offset the price? Input is needed as this is a significant expense.

(Just FYI...the PIRATE'S RUN is 67 short days away!)

Typically, these photos run $20 - $25 which I would gladly buy a few provided the helicopter doesn’t completely miss me as it did last time…

Someone else should confirm the price.
