Braxton won 1st in CMH and SEH and 3rd in AH. The two Doc Millers were hard at work getting everything race ready.
What’s up Doc Race team is ready for testing today. Beautiful day in Alexandria, Louisiana.
Carol. Definitely missing you and your awesome margaritas. Hope all is well and keeping all the dogs in good shape
Great racing at a beautiful location this past weekend for the What's Up Doc Team. We raced in Clarksville, AR at Lake Ludwig. Lots of fun racing and hanging out after. Thanks John Ruff for the great meals.
Braxton working hard on the Tohatsu!!! In pieces now but getting it ready for Winter Nationals. 🏁🏁
"Thriller" is now all lettered up and ready to race. Still on probation to get the yellow to replace the white. Hope it is fast and turns good 🏁🏆
Carbon fiber boat with some (budget) purple just added. Still on probation to see if it makes the 1st team and then will get the yellow added. 🏁🏁
Nice boat, ten years old, but only a few races on it. Our 400 hydro and 20 A boat are both over 10 years old. Needs our logo and number, a few stickers, then the three minute warning.
$4500. 2016 APBA OSY400 nationals winning boat. Built by Matt. Twin sister to John Peeters 7-time OSY nationals winning boat...
Ryan Melony Morris... D Mods are more fun... Rather go 90 than 65... And easier to sell right after a national win.
Mat ault built about 10 at $2000 to 2600 but he ran out of material and the boat price went up so high that he quite building them. A few are still being run today. Jeff Webster, Jon Peters, Chris Mizner, Danials and ours. Ours was not raced much. Just took off some unnessary hardware and it weights 101 lbs. It has 5 lbs of lead stuck in the right sponson.
After a successful week of racing in West Virginia at the APBA Nationals, it is time to focus on the NBRA Nationals this weekend in Claremore, OK. The crew is loading the boats on the trailers and fine tuning the motors. The competition will be great and we will need to be on our "A" game to take any trophies home. So thankful for this crew pictured here that make it all possible.
Great day of racing winning the OSY-400 class at the USTS Nationals in Depue, Illinois. A big thank you to my pit crew Jack Stotts, Charlie Holman, Braxton Miller and my Crew Chief/dad Leonard "Doc" Miller.
