Anyone have the SurfRat link for the Enduro?
Yathe camera man sucks
Same same...Nordic brought a howitzer to a pew pew fight.
You ain't chitin, that thing was fast and ever so smooth. How in the hell do those guys in the flatties do that chit for 4 hours?????That Nordic boat is healthy. Corbin won the ski race. Congrats to everyone who ran and ithank you for keeping this alive.

Oh I know, I was there for a whole bunch of them in the 60's and 70's. We'd watch the start and about a couple hours worth then go out and ride our dirt bikes. Come back later in the day and watch what was left, not much. Lot's of attrition back then. Looked like lot's of dropouts today also in the first hour. What happened to Scarlata's deal??Used to be a 9 hour race back when men were men lol. Seriously though the flatty guys are hard core.
The gel on the eliminator looked alot like @HydroSkreamin boat.
How did that Lamborghini boat run? That thing is BAD ASS!!
Dat 312 boat hung in there tho.
Did I miss who won?

Adjust the rules again? What’s that mean?I/O followed by a twin turbo v drive!
Depending on how far ahead they were they will adjust the rules again.

It’s an old story. Build something that fits a current class and come race and have fun with the rest is us. We miss seeing your bad ass boat and you there. I think, if any one could do it, you could give that Nordic a run for the money.It’s a long story......
We were breaking in a brand new motor for the first hour due to dealing with fire at home and then had the fuel tank come apart at the seam. Switched the fuel lines to the saddle tanks and threw an ear off the prop when we went back in. Spun the hub on the next prop so we called it a day. The Stoker with the late model Evinrude was hauling ass and it’s great to see more v drives finishing.It didn't look like too many boats.
Anybody know where the stoker with Pxrthis finished?

Both Nordic and Justified must have been very careful and carefully colored within the lines this year --- excellent.
A question --- That Lamborghini V-12 powered boat, which I'd sure love to hear run. How do they prevent water from the exhaust running back down into the cylinders after it's shut-off ? Do they have a switched solenoid or is it RPM controlled so it shuts off prior to shut-down ?
It is not a handicapped race. All boats start at the same time and boat with most laps wins over all. Pretty simple and fair racing. Much better than the handicap way it was run in the past where a 65 mph boat could win overall and a 110 mph boat that finishes the race gets screwed out of there rightful win. With handicaps it went from being an endurance race to being a joke. Now the fastest boats compete for an overall win while the rest of us are competing for a class victory. This lets everyone get out and be competitive in their class and have fun racing, while the fastest boat that finishes wins the King of the River. Just my 2 centsI’d expect the question is rhetorical, but the answer is it is a handicapped race.
If one gets out too far ahead they typically adjust the handicaps..
Are they not changing the rules anymore?
The water never dumps into the exhaust. They are jacketed but near the tips you can see on the bottom of the exhaust the water dumps into a stainless tube and then down a black hose on each header. The exhaust itself is dry.
(Looking at the pics anyways).

That Lamborghini Rayson Craft is really cool! I would have that that a guy that manufactured exhaust systems for a living would have done a cooler looking tail pipe set up then that.
