It's time to revive the nostalgia jet class. I have had numerous people who have shown an interest in racing their boats. It's time to step up to the plate and lets get a boat count. Myself, Ralph Brunt and the CJ 's will do all we can to help anyone interested. Parker in november would be a nice jumping off place..

Skip and I have talked about this also, and for me it's a little bit of a money issue also

But grudgingly I did get the womans OK to do it. So really all I have for a prob is the casholla

same as compjet, except there is no CI/Fuel/Induction limitations, but there is a 80.9 mph speed limit

It,s a run what you brung class as far as engine and induction .you must have a kill switch,rudder and your seat must be thru bolted to a stringer, not the sub floor, a GPS, Your safety equipment,Jacket,helmet and helmet restraint.

What if my stringers are 10 different pieces and made of plywood....is that still legal?

terrytav · « **Reply #11 on:** August 17, 2010, 11:14:09 AM »

the only 2 manufactures of racing jackets i know of are SRP and Lifeline. As for the stringers made of plywood are they laminated together like a solid 1x or 2x. A picture would help

Vance is interested.
Our original intent with the Rogers was to race Nostalgia.

Ok Terry what exactly do I need, for myself and the boat, to run nostalgia. I would like to give it a shot, if it's not gonna cost me a fortune. I know a jacket and a helmet........and what specs on those

And the boat, what do I need to pass inspection

terrytav · « **Reply #18 on:** September 15, 2010, 06:41:26 AM »

As far as the boat you need a kill switch, seat attached to a stringer with thru bolts, a rudder ( minimum 16 sq inches) and if you use a jet o vator it must have a stop so as not to allow it to go any higher than 4 ft. Equipment the rules are at APBA-Racing.com rule # 3. Helmet, Jacket,etc

thanks,any info on where to start and clubs to join for beginner.im located in bakersfield.id like to give it a try.

John, not much as far as getting the boat ready. Lucky Stiff/Skip lives up your way in Bakoland, i'm sure he'd be willing to check the boat out.
Need a physical, APBA full membership or a per race deal if you dont want the year commitment and safety gear. You may be able to borrow the safety gear from some of us otherwise you're looking at a grand in gear.

gublube · « **Reply #24 on:** September 20, 2010, 12:50:03 AM »

thanks,ill send him a pm and maybe he could give me some pointers and info.i have aq cousin who raced hydro,he had bad crash in san diego and shattered his hull,but didnt get a scratch due to the capsul launching,we used to be real close when younger and was gonna give him a call,maybe some of u guys know him,mark workentine out of easton fresno.he races all kinds of stuff,im hoping to just start out easy and have fun.who knows maybe ill get hooked up lol.

thanks
