fuel use

Mike,

10 to 15 is about right. Although they sell at some of the venues, take enough with you. Especially if there's a test and tune the Friday before. Steve and Scotty would be better to ask than I, as I am only playin' at this game compared to them! I've made it to Semi's at The Cove a couple of times, but never a final round!

Driving Suit

I have an RCI I got from either Summit or Jegs. Any of em are HOTHOTHOT. Part of it. Read the rule book. I think if you have nitrous in the boat, you have to have flame retardant gloves. Gloves period are a good idea anyway simply because of the rope pull. Waco has a long rope as does Marble Falls. Without some type of gloves, some of these ropes will tear your hands up before you get to the line!

Driving shoes. My foot is too big to fit my tennis shoes into the gas pedal on the boat so instead of modifying the pedal, I got driving shoes; they're skinnier.

Seems like a 2piece suite would be better.. I've been talkin to Kent at Lifeline and there prices are pretty good on the suite and helmet, might go that route unless yal have a better source
