Yes.Bad ass, was this a new one laid up at Eliminator?
I would love to see some closeups of the way he blended the capsule into the cap. Is it glassed in and permanent or is it removable? I'm sure the hull has limited comforts, but that capsule addition has me intrigued.
Looks like it.Bad ass, was this a new one laid up at Eliminator?
Not too many other options anymore, especially with that size motor.Stoker running a Merc? Explains the chill in the air!
Could still run one of those carbureted refrigerator's like the old days... Team 8cyl of mosquito abatement!Not too many other options anymore, especially with that size motor.
It's more than likely bolted in. Now can I run my capsule boat next year?
Maybe something along the lines of a lightweight STV with a strung-out 2.5 liter from Simon. That would be my bet. Capitalize on the horsepower to weight ratio.Could any 2- stroke
mvp boats keep up with his 450 ?
YepHard to compete with Al in a Mod VP....he kinda invented that shit.
That’s a great shot
Not with the current prop shaft height rules.Could any 2- stroke

How does he see out of that cockpit?

Nothing wrong with a merc on a stoker. What a way to start back up a legacy his father John built ,After his passing. Al iron manned the whole race in a beautiful machine that shut down a 1350hp Nordic. 6 time champ. Queen of the river by attitude adjustment is also a huge accomplishment against the Nordic bear. LETS GO STOKER.
3rd picture down from the OP looks to me like the Nordic running side by side with the StokerUh.. the Nordic didn’t run today.
I believe the boat you are seeing in that photo is in fact a Nordic, but not the Randy Davis boat which has been a multi-time Enduro overall winner. That boat I think is #54 which was originally owned by ski racer Jon Cole and rigged at Prime Marine. I don't know who owns or drives it presently.3rd picture down from the OP looks to me like the Nordic running side by side with the Stoker
Uh.. the Nordic didn’t run today.
It definitely did and ran fast.Uh.. the Nordic didn’t run today.
I heard he received a 2 lap penalty for speeding during the race trying to catch up to Al. The race has a 110mph max speed limit per insurance regs.I believe the boat you are seeing in that photo is in fact a Nordic, but not the Randy Davis boat which has been a multi-time Enduro overall winner.

Too bad you dont know your boats. Yes a Nordic ran but it wasnt THE Nordic ( 191)Nothing wrong with a merc on a stoker. What a way to start back up a legacy his father John built ,After his passing.

Guess I assumed old number 55 changed just like 191Too bad you dont know your boats. Yes a Nordic ran but it wasnt THE Nordic ( 191)
Is this how mis information starts?
The capsule is not part of the deck.I would love to see some closeups of the way he blended the capsule into the cap. Is it glassed in and permanent or is it removable? I'm sure the hull has limited comforts, but that capsule addition has me intrigued.
I would assume if it fits the rules you could? I don’t believe there is a no capsule rule.It's more than likely bolted in. Now can I run my capsule boat next year?
Nice... nuthin like sitting just in front of P2 and keeping him stuck there on the speed limiter to piss him off and take him off his team's stratagy...lolThat stoker was dialed in!!

The reason capsule are not allowed is not enough safety boats with capsule trained rescue personnel for the length of the race course.I would assume if it fits the rules you could? I don’t believe there is a no capsule rule.
That's a good photo. With the high temperature yesterday around 85° F, running hard for hours in a capsule had to be a significant physical challenge.The capsule is not part of the deck.

What's the maximum fuel tank capacity allowed? A hundred gallons of gas weighs six hundred pounds. The handling must change quite a bit from a full tank to empty. How many refueling stops are needed? How is it done?
I'm most interested in the class which produced the overall winner.Every boat is different. They all have different requirements.
Come out next year and see!

That being said, is there a website that contains the information about the different classes and the restrictions involved?
I appreciate your invitation to next year's event. I prefer a king size bed, but a queen will do. I'm not fussy about meals, so a good steak and baked potato with all the usual extras will do just fine. The steaks have to be a good cut.
I like ribeyes, as long as they're trimmed properly and grilled over charcoal to a rare-medium rare finish. Waffles or pancakes are my favorite breakfast, and good lean bacon is a must. We can get lunch at a food truck if they have a varied menu.
I can't wait!
This was sent to me when I asked if Nordic ran, or not, by someone who was there ...
Ran 2 at ski race. Won 1st 2nd twice.
Everyone was saying they weren't going to race the enduro because screem n fly said Alan Stoker was building a nordic killer..
Nordic raced 1 boat in the enduro. After 1st lap Alan took off and LAPPED Nordic at least twice..
Then nordic blew out the trans within 10mins of the end...
You can carry as much fuel as you want, but 2 mandatory pit stops, no less than a certain time (in the past, it’s been 10 minutes minimum).That's a good photo. With the high temperature yesterday around 85° F, running hard for hours in a capsule had to be a significant physical challenge.
