velo, Three races, the first was called Brick and we raced off Pointpleasant beach Nj., 4 foot + seas , we finished 2nd but we were told we broke out and were bumped to 3rd! The second race was Atlantic City in 4 to 6s (this was not a good day, could have used about 1000lbs. up front! ) but we finished 4th! Our last race was back to Pointpleasant beach to run in4 to 5s , but this time we had 500lbs. in the nose! We finished 4th. Caimbridge Md. Sept. 26 will be our first flat race and I hope to stay out front of the 32 and 38 footers that have been tough in the big water! Wish us luck!!! SteelinTime. PS. If you go to Nj.offshore and click OPA you can get the scoop!

Velo,
Look on their website and call the factory. Someone will call you back and give you history. I was looking at buying an ancient project and emailed them the same day as I posted my question on here. Few days later sales manager called me back and even suggested when to get a hold of Steve. I was fairly impressed by that since I called several dealers here in Fl and they almost laughed. JMO..

Ok I guess it's not as sensitive an issue as I was led to believe. Steve doesn't mind talking about it at all. My Bad, give him a call.

Hey Velo! WE WON!!! The old Velocity did me proud! OPA said we all broke out, but I must not have been as bad as some others! The OPA GPS said I ran 67! My unit said 80.5! At the start 3 boats left us in a hurry, I new they had to break out! Our race was with Augie in the Bunny! What a blast! We got out front and then with a lot of course management!!!! ( We kept the Bunny in our wake for 11 laps, If he went inside we would close the door, he went outside, we pushed him out until the last second!) Sorry Augie!! I have been there,and it would have Pi$$ed me off, but the men in the Bunny were cool!!! Besides they beat us bad in there back yard!! 3 times! STEELIN TIME P-4 33.

Velo! We had flat water! Nothing more than our own wakes to deal with! It was a 50 mile drag race and as usual I pushed and almost passed the pace boat at the start! OOOPS!!! I think they should have been running a little faster my self!!! I did pull out about 200 lbs. from the nose!!! Just got word the Camden race is on for next weekend,guess we have to go for two!!! Thanks for your support!! STEELIN TIME P-4 33.
