.................................................. .................................................. ................................... Now , everybody should know that in outboard runabouts , they ALL have to be flat bottoms. (O P C ,not included. ) We're talkin stock, modified, & "PRO". What's that old saying ? "A picture is worth a thousand words ? "
.................................
.................................................. .................................................. ..................................IT WAS JUST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT i SAID , LAST YEAR, that TERRY USED A....600 ROSSI . iN MY OWN WORDS. Yeh, who stole my memory ? Or did i lose it in a crap game .? anyways, even 36 cubes going THAT fast is mind boggling ! In a runabout . wotta yuh 'spect from an ole duffer 68 yrs. old ?
yep! thats crusin:D
I knew it wasn't a 350...
And to boot, Terry is a pretty likable fella. Takes some large cahonies to run that fast in a runabout with two people in it !! All I know is that man works hard and earns his titles. He worked non stop on it to get it ready for his heat as he flew in and Rick Bird brought the boat and engine. Terry had to rig it, and all that.
Think about this . He drove , over 30 years ago, Mike Snell's "Midnight oil" . An
"R" hydro, ( a Ron Jones cab over ) with hopped up Merc 800 (4cyl.) it held the R kilo record at about 107 mph . This flat bottom , with 30 LESS cubes went 5 mph FASTER , with another (extra) guy on board ! Yes, Terry is a nice guy . I remember talking to him backin about 1975 at Stockton, and telling him about another driver who said he was gonna run over him , Terry just smiled and said " He's gotta catch me first !"
