I see my name  and a bunch of bullshit under it.....

Is this directed at me........WTF

If so , you have no clue of what i go through everyday trying to get my shit done

i think you misunderstood me.....i mean to say i feel your pain...its been a loosing battle trying to get my motor done for this race...give me a call when you get a chance

90% of racing is just getting there

You aint kidding .

Your probably better off brad . Nothing good has ever come from rushing a motor build . Hell I'm realistically lookin at almost 2 years out for me  We'll see .

  And Steve, next year you should invite all of us over for Thanksgiving, we could out number the G/Fs family.   

 Well thanks i could use some back up

Hopefully we will be getting together before Thanksgiving........

You know like in the summer...........On the water...............with a boat..............Mine

Sorry guys if I stirred the sh## the wrong way.  Didnt plan on getting anyones pantys in a bunch.

And Steve, next year you should invite all of us over for Thanksgiving, we could out number the G/Fs family.   

And here, this whole time, I though there was only one way to stir shit, learn something new every damn day  

Steve, you have to be sooooo close now, hang in there man, at least you don't have a Penis Wrinkle for a neighbor calling the police every time you pull the boat out of the garage...

So what all did/didn't happen with the motor Brad?

thats the problem....i dont know...

apparently a misordered part (timing set) was the deal breaker yesterday as we cant get another in time....but as far as why the hell it came down to this being so last minute as we started this project 4 months ago....im embarrased to say i dont know...

Got a quick race story for ya, the first Jetboat race I ever actually participated in was in Oregon on the Rogue River in 1989, my buddy had this old boat and was determined to race it up the mighty Rogue, pretty much no matter what, he spent the better part of a year prepping the boat, getting all of his safety gear together and making sure everything was "perfect", got down to the wire and tested in the weeks before the race, got to race day and the boat would not run past 1200 RPM, no other problems, just would only idle and die...He was so frustrated he put the boat back on the trailer and simply parked it, I went over to the boat with my other freind and said to him "we cannot let this thing beat us", we looked at everything; tach, wireing, carb., carb linkage, name something, finally I pulled the coil out of the boat and took the one out of my Blazer (GM HEI) bolted it in and the thing took off like it was scared...we made the starting line with a whole minute and a half to spare....we raced several more times together after that, unfortunately, we all grew up, got married, had kids, mortgages, and responsibilities that kept us from risking life and limb, but the stories will last forever, I am seriously trying to get back into the raceing scene again, but on a limited scale...

I guess what I'm trying to say is, and I think Ralph would agree, about half, if not more of the fun/challenge is getting to run in the first place.

The amount of challenges vary; money, technical difficulties, weather and so on, but the way you handle them should stay the same...one at a time.

Sorry to hear about the problems Brad, but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
