Ok she doesn't have a true name yet but Final Effort 2�� is looking good. She's all dialed in and running hot..8000hp hot. We are taking her out this Saturday to make a practice run up to 240 mph to make sure it's. Safe to make a wide open pass at a race memorial weekend...pray for safety.. She in a word is Bad Azz.. Lars out

That is a very important part of it though. I have watched them race in Madison, Indiana on the river before. So awesome to watch.

Four weeks ago tragedy struck while doing a practice run at about 220 mph we had the prop shaft shear off. The boat leaped out of the water and went back in nose first. The drivers capsule was ripped open and the driver was killed. We had been friends. Since we were 4 years old... That's it we are done that was our final effort... RIP Keven may you be with our lord in heaven... Lars out

I am so terribly sorry for the loss his family, your boat crew, and you have had to deal with. Sending healing thoughts and prayers to you all. Life is such a precious gift my friend. I just cannot say this enough! Enjoy the sunsets, the pouring rain and the smell that comes with it, the birds, the ocean, the woods, the mountains, and every passion within your heart....Oh the list is so very long..... Tell those you Love that you Love them. Kiss the babies, hug a friend... A Special Hug for you my friend (((((Zippy)))))
