Heard SCSC is hosting a race at Ming.

Are the Comp Jets running this event?

Brad @ SCJB · « **Reply #1 on:** July 27, 2009, 07:12:58 PM »

yes, its a planned race for the compjets

also, if the puddingstone race is still scheduled on the books, we are racing that event too.

Nj's to, I hope.

Bull, if their not running the N/J's, come run the C/J's.
I'm only running 80 mph on a good day.
Small motor, heavy boat = 80.6 best

I went out to Ming today, talked to Lt. Boardman (he runs the KC parks dept.) They're doing punch list today, taking the coffer dams out and letting the water flow this week with an opening on Monday. I took some pics, but my camera seems to have eaten them

The Lt did tell me that he's already spoken with NJBA and they're def on for September, made no mention of the circle races. At any rate, I'll be there, Brad, Ralph, Marc, & anyone else that needs it, I have 2 extra bedrooms, a ton of floorspace, an L shaped couch and a pool, just let me know who needs what.

Skip

See you **** in Long Beach

I got a spare room and a cosey couch if anyone else needs a place. I am about 3-5 miles from Luckie Stiffs.

I'm planning on hitting Ming on Fri the 7th, then heading to LBC that afternoon

19 ft. Schiada, with a 468 Government Motor Corp. @ 13 to 1. Nothing too special. I am hopping for a long race, as this thing will carry 100 gallons of go juice.

76 Bonneville · « **Reply #12 on:** July 29, 2009, 03:06:06 PM »

Classic Ride you got there.
That combo should put out some good mph 85-90+. At least in c/j you wont have to worry about breaking out.
I'm only running a 427 and i'm surprised its run all season.

Bull20 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 29, 2009, 03:15:13 PM »

Classic is a good word for that boat, it is the first 19 made and carries hull no.1 ID tag.

76 Bonneville · « **Reply #14 on:** July 29, 2009, 03:24:58 PM »

What year would that be?

Any pics?

THANK YOU!!!!! Older, but not much wiser - maybe that is a good thing?

Luckie Stiff · « **Reply #17 on:** August 05, 2009, 01:01:59 PM »

Lake Ming construction is DONE, opened up on Monday, here's some shots from my phone.

Brad @ SCJB · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2009, 05:09:05 PM »

Yeah it does, way better in person too, the angle of the ramp isn't nearly what it was, they dredged out 30" of goo from the pit areas, nice paving, nice shitters now too.

Donjuan · « **Reply #20 on:** August 05, 2009, 05:37:03 PM »

I can't wait till friday. Plus my new throttle assembly should be in tomorrow. What time are we heading out to ming and back?

Luckie Stiff · « **Reply #21 on:** August 05, 2009, 06:23:25 PM »

Call me, I need to pick up hats and be on the road to LBC no later than 1:30 or 2:00. Morning is good, the gate's open at 6! I talked to the LT out there, normal rules apply everywhere on the lake EXCEPT, the back side, he told me as long as the boat doesn't leave the water, you can run as fast as you want to

propless · « **Reply #22 on:** August 05, 2009, 06:47:46 PM »

Skip, Did they make the ramps smaller ? Doesn't look like you could launch 3 boats wide anymore.

I didn't pay attention to it really, but they didn't seem any smaller.

What is the story with Ming; can you run a race ready boat or due you have to have wet stacks, baffles and spark arrester intake or what?
