Another surprise was the U-3 Todd Hoss Mortgage Too coming up with a 162.074 speed for second-best time on the ladder.
On Friday, Jimmy King brought the fleet's only piston-powered boat back from the river quickly when the manifold pressure dropped rapidly.
Team owner Ed Cooper wasn't sure why it happened.
But on Saturday morning, Cooper said "we changed three things, and now we're checking through the motor to see what the problem was."
Of the fast time, Cooper quipped "We think (race officials') timing off."

Idaho free ice-fishing event hooks people
HAUSER, Idaho -- A recent weekend free ice-fishing event at Hauser Lake, organized by Idaho Fish and Game, was a chilling success in luring people of all ages to try the sport.
Although agency staffers and three helpers from Cabela's in nearby Post Falls were signed to run the event, Idaho Fish and Game officials gave a big special thanks for service beyond the call of duty to the three sportsmen. They were ice fishing when they saw the organizers overwhelmed by people eager to borrow fishing gear from the Take Me Fishing trailer.
"The three anglers put their gear away and helped the newbie anglers for the rest of the day," said IFG spokesman Phil Cooper.
Richland council: Revell
Richland council: Revell
Ed Revell deserves your vote for the Richland City Council. He's served on the council for nearly six years and as mayor pro-tem for nearly four years, and he knows the ropes. He has helped oversee balanced budgets and improvements to public services during that time. He keeps a cool head when discussing contentious topics during council meetings.
He has established solid working relationships with the mayors in Kennewick, West Richland and Pasco, which is just the type of Tri-City cooperation that Richland residents expect and deserve.
We don't always agree, but he's got my vote.

D.B. COOPER: WSU professor continues research
PULLMAN — Forty years ago, a man in a dark business suit and tie committed one of the biggest whodunits in U.S. history. D.B. Cooper skyjacked a jetliner and bailed out at 10,000 feet between Seattle and Portland with a parachute and $200,000 in ransom money strapped to his waist.
He was never seen again. Was it the perfect crime or a reckless plunge into the great hereafter?
In trying to solve the nation’s only unsolved skyjacking, the FBI has examined 1,000 suspects, according to the agency’s website. A Washington State University professor who has researched the skyjacking believes one name should stand out among them:
Kenny Christiansen.
