tull: I like Steady Eddie too. The tooth pic is a nice touch. We went up Reid's lake (Norman) last summer to pick him up. He footed back down the lake thru crap and then joined our 6 man. He was fun to watch.

Viper and Tony went head to head at the start of the Dam To Dam last year,the water was bad,and both of them almost made it to the city park, about 7 miles from the start. 7 miles of crap water,the boats never droped below 49 MPH, in rollers,and wind chop, for 7 miles. Eddie is the man, he is just not the barefoot racer that Viper and Tony are.

Billy holds the record for the longest barefoot run in history. 2:48 min.
Eddie can barefoot for over 1 hour.
Both of these barefoot runs were long and slow runs, Billy skied at 36mph, and Eddie skied at like 42mph.
Viper will turn in shorter runs, but at much higer speeds (50 plus), and in much worse water.
We won the Dam to Dam last year with almost a 50 mph avg speed.

Would that be the Eddie we met in NC at Reid's last year? Now that guy could foot.

That boat had Tony B in it, he is the 2nd best barefoot endurance footer in the world.
Viper is #1
We have a long history with Tony, the last time we met on the water the motor shut down,and filled up with water. It sucked.
I'm not sure if he has bad luck, or we have good, but no one on my team liked to see the BFN shut down, that boat would have made it a hell of a race.
I just can't stop thinking of that water, WOW!!!

Hey they were way off, Viper wanted all of us to ski,so at the 15mile mark he stopped, Stinger cover the next four to the turn around, and never stopped (the video is great) came back about 2 miles, and we tossed in Mark, just some guy who needed a team, and loves to foot in thru crap water. He did great! Then came Chris, besides letting us run the hell out of his boat,and showing off his hot wife ( Glora call me) the dude can foot like a mad man. I hopped in about a 1/4 mile from the gas boat, took my 5min break, and smoked the next 10 miles at 45.3 mph, with nothing but glass. Brian, you dunn good bro, great time. I'm already looking for some beater to work on and bring up , Viper thinks we can trim off 6.min next year.
We all had a great time.
Top Gun 56.50 with a 5min gas stop.

Thanks Spanky

Do they allow kneeboard starts?

CQ, I believe you have to have a minimum number of skiers, doesn't matter how long each go though?

Viper is first out, he can ski for over 30min.
2nd skier is Stinger, he can ski over 20min.
3rd skier is Hollywood (spanky) I can ski over 15min.
4th is the boat owner,we have never met.
The weak link is the boat, 5.7 stock, low 40s at best.

You are not nuts, some water is much hotter than others.

Team Top gun will finish in under 1 hour.

Now that is a die hard footer Steve. Footing before a wedding. I am trading shifts with a guys so I don't have to work Friday afternoon. Shoot me your cell number in an email. I got a new phone, old one had your cell number in it. I am think what ever time you guys can get to 23 and US 12. We could meet right there at the McDonald's.

Steve
I'll be there. (only an hour from my place) What time do you guys plan on assembling at the launch?

Maybe I can talk my wife into going out to dinner Friday night at LaRoe's.

Sounds like you have a busy weekend.
Have a safe trip!
Oh, I'll be posting some pics of my new ride soon!

Steve

Guys,
Sounds like a great time to me. I'm going to try make it over there to watch, take some video and pictures. Hopefully I'll make it and get a chance to meet some of you guys.

Good Luck!
Steve
