West Coast Sidewinder News!

[sponsonhead]

TBD.

A slightly more vivid description from a on-looker would be the 20 needs 4-5mph as it was beat by a half a lap by a "top 5" 20ssh boat that started 5 seconds late.

My assessment of the Sidewinder 20 as a mid-pack boat is also based on its performance at Eatonville, which you didn't have the benefit of seeing since you weren't there. The SW ran not as fast as the front runners, but still finished ahead of some of the slower restricted 302s and back marker 80s.

Is it dominant in 20SS at this time? Nope. Is it running at the front? No way. Is there potential? Yes. is it 4-5 mph off? Based on the two weekends I have watched it run, I'd say maybe 3.

At some point, maybe Mike Johnson will jump in and tell us what they've learned so far...
