Back hurts like hell......existing on pills right now. Surgery is July 16th. In the hosipital for a week, then on a walker for 2 weeks after that, then on a cane for another 2 weeks......then hopefully walking after that.....at least that is what they are telling me (you know how that chit goes).
I have buit a sybian with a harley motor on it for Debbie.......so she probably will have no use for me when I do heal up!

Mark,
Here's another one for you. This motor is a heavily
modified 2.5 that ran 3 stage N20/alcohol/race gas. 600 HP with everything burning @ 11,000 RPM with a 26"
............(do that math
)
One of these days I'll try to load some videos racing against other U/Os, blown inboard hydros and tunnel jets.
1/4 mile ETs in the high 8s, speeds in the 120s.
Check out the block. It was painted Chrysler Plumb Crazy Purple to match the boat.
In hindsight, it was insane, which is why I eventually quit.
Regards,
Steve

My thoughts exactly. Hammers down on anything with a bravo and some decent power isn't going to last long.
Steve, was that Mirage called a Quatershot or Quartermaster? Can't remember - my racing days are long over. That was some of the most fun you can have with your clothes on though! 
Thought about buying another Ally just for a play boat until we had to fish a buddy of mine out of the water last year after he blew his Piranha over. I'll stick with the big boats now.
PS - Beautiful boat!

I've owned a couple of Allisons too, a 16' with a 175, and Darris' own 2002 Bass Racer 20' (686 lbs) with a 2.4 EFI Offshore.
Talk about rocking the bass fishing world, as well as more than a few jet boats
.............I could fish in the 90s with 2 guys and all our equipment, and run over 100 by myself. I remember winning our little Wednesday night club tournament and hearing a guy in the crowd saying "I thought those guys just raced".I would still like to have a 2003 to fish, ski and f' off with.
Best Regards,
Steve

Same here, loved it when I was doin' it, but towards the end it started seeming more like work than fun. Attending a few poker runs (I had a Baja too at the time) convinced me to hang up the racing. I tell my racing friends that poker running is a "martini and bikini race"
