Two questions.

What was the cost of the fix?

Why did the boat have to be looked at when Brian and Duane already knew what was done to it?

I guess 3 questions....

What happened to the protest money? Does he get it back? Maybe in the future if someone gets work done to "Fix" there engine in could be shared with the rest of the class so they don't protest to find out that an official has deemed it ok. These people from what I seen decided to protest for two reasons, the thought the boat was fast for how wet it was and rumors of work being done.

Duane is an awesome racer and fun to be around this just could have been dealt with different to avoid all this. IMO

Is it even a question to wether this engine is STOCK. Take any factory assembled gm crate engine. Surface/straighten the block/deck will increase increase power every time and will even hold peak power at severe conditions. Performance felpro gaskets help this too. Dyno's are a good judge of this. lots of technicalities overlooked here. Never have i heard of decking one side of a block and not the other side. would be a unbalanced ticking time BOMB!!. Not fiction speaking, but 25years building performance racing engines. And was there even a witness's to work being done or was the just left up to the machinist and the racer!!!. Any modification should have been considered when those boat are running that close. I'm sure any little bit would effect results. Not one sided to either one of the competitors, but just stating some facts. Have to call the class ufx now. Later

Absolutely not...it was for a laugh. I dug into a couple of you're questions and found some answers.

1. The bill at the engine shop was $2600. A lot better than $4500. This incident happened on his second run with a brand new ZZ4. I would have done the same.

2.Pretty hard to take the word of a couple racers when you strongly believe there has been modifications done. Best is to put your money down and find out for sure. Nathan did the right thing IMO, because who knows how long this has been bugging him. It might not be the results everyone was looking for, but all the info is out there now and I'm sure there will be a lot of discussion about it at the next meeting. Like I stated before...88 followed all the proper steps by asking permission and having a rep present at the engine shop. Trust me...Dwayne can afford $4500.

3.Not sure if this being 'out there' would have helped or hurt this situation. Pretty hard to communicate something like this to all past, present and future racers. He did everything he had to, to be legit. He's not the cheating type.

Like Bob said...5HP is FA. We all know what makes a boat go fast and the decking that was done is of no advantage IMO. It takes set up knowledge and tons of testing. He's had help from Chruynk and Lietch, both who know a thing or two about winning.(I could use the same help)

Motor placement, Loader grate, spoon work, diet, pump work, wedges, nozzle deg, big balls and fast hands win races.
