Ok kids, with all the talk of racing, combined with the winter doldrums, here's a poll for you.

Please be honest, this is something I'd like to do, but if there aren't enough boats, then I won't waste my time.

Thanks

im voting maybe, because...funding hasnt been so well for me here lately and need to get my shit in order....would also need a different hull...from my research tahiti's were not stable after 70ish mph....so really a faster hull would be safer as well

You don't need another hull, in a circle race with NJ rules, you'd be lucky to average 70!

I'd seriously be interested next year if my Job keeps up  Thumbs Up I've been disappointed because I haven't seen N/J or N/E run in a while.... which is the only classes I would consider running.

I forgot the penalties for running over 80.9mph?

I can help with your boat, using your money of course. I can help with a place to crash when the races are in Bakersfield
Let's do this.

Skip, depending on finances, my son Vance could run our boat in N/J and get some seat time.
I would still run it in C/J.

That sounds like an excellent idea. Think the March race is a realistic timeframe?

You asked 2 questions in the pole Skip. Build one, or run current. So, I say run current to get started without actually dumpin more money than necessary. Some people may actully not like it. Never met anyone that didn't get hooked, but suppose its a possibility.

We talked about this a tad last night, and I now understand it a little bit more. Any induction/engine restrictions? I think Moo would be OK for this, and FUN!!!!!!! But what about Blowers on over 18' craft? lol

Nostalgia jet is a run what you brung class as long as you don't go over 80.9mph Blowers, turbos, V-12's, inline 4 cylinders, anything you want. Just don't go over the speed limit or you will be penalized.

That's how it was explained to me as well. I am happy about that! Speed limit, well, we'll see. What'ya think Nordie? Am I even close to that?  Grin
