Jasper River run

[jim4596]

Is anyone on here going to be at the Jasper River run this year? It will be held friday Oct 7. We put in at shellmound at about 9 am and then we run from Shellmound to downtown chattanooga. Usually we tie up and go eat somewhere downtown and then run back down. lots of fast boats there and some good guys. i had a great time down there last year and made some new friends. here is a video link.

How much gas does it take to make that run?

 

[jim4596]

its about 80 miles round trip. depending on your gas mileage and whether you run WOT or not. I always fill up the tank and i make it there and back with plenty left.
Its a good time. you should come.

bring it on down carter. hell i aint running that fast right now. i think last time out the old stratos ran 89. but i just ordered a bigger prop so im hoping to pickup a couple of more mph by then. but we will see. with my luck the dang motor will blow before then. emoVomit
it aint all super fast boats. its got some slow boats there too. you should come it will be a good time and meet some good guys and i will buy u a beer.

89 mph. I'm out then I can barely top 70. I wouldn't mind getting in on a trip though if there will be some slower guys there to run with.

 

[jim4596]

dont worry about speeds. you should come anyway. its a great time. there are plenty of boats there that arent super fast (my boat is definitely not fast). some guys just make a liesurely run and some run WOT. Paul Nichols will be there for any guys that havent gotten to meet him. Billy Eaves that works on props will most likely be there. and there will be several guys in allisons, bullets, and stroker boats that you can check out.
