Comp Jet Racing
« on: February 18, 2013, 02:03:05 PM »
I am new to the forum and am very interested in boat racing.  I will most likely start running COR races in the near future (to "get my feet wet").  I would eventually like to move up to something like Comp Jet.  I would like to know how active Comp Jet is currently.  Are there many races on the West Coast?  How many boats participate?
I hope you all do not mind a newbie asking   ;D  .  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Not much in common, other than they are both race boats and they turn left.  A 2.0 Merc outboard does not have near the HP, but it would get me on the water, to do some learning, until I can sell some of my other toys to move up.  I own an Eliminator pickle (actually a Tahiti Caribbean / Hardin Marine out of an older Eliminator mold) with a big block Chevy.  Not suitable for circle racing, I guess.   :(

Comp jet has at least 6 boats at any given race on the west coast. It is one of if not the largest class out of all the classes running with the APBA here in Ca. There is around 15-17 active CJ's total right now.

Would my Eliminator pickle be legal in Nostalgia?

If that Eliminator "pickel" is a 19 Daytona then I would think it qualifies for Nostalga. I raced one late 70's early 80's and still have the trophies to prove it. Craig Millet and I teamed up with two, his Comp jet and mine in Ski Jet. As far as I know the only two tunnels to circle race in jets. Yes you can make them turn.
