As usual,  I finished my CompJet 2 days after the Long Beach race.

Cool, can't wait to see it run.

The only thing I would recommend (visible in the video) would be to put a larger diameter alternator pulley on it to slow it down. 

If you're going to have the added drag of the alternator you might as well not destroy it with all the high rpm's associated with racing.

It probably won't be a "problem", but why wear out a set of brushes/bearings by buzzing it all the time?

I agree,  I'll worry later.  I'm just happy to have it done at this point

That's awesome.

Just speaking from real experience, look at your gas tank mounts very closely. Last year we broke both brackets holding the right tank in the boat. The water gets really gnarly really quick and those brackets can't take the punishment.

Great job... Btw, they are running jets at San Diego Bayfair.....;)

Are you positive about bayfair.

Are you positive about bayfair.

It was covered at length at the drivers meeting at Long Beach, just depends if there are enough Comp Jets to run... (Or should I say left running).

I would get a hold of both Ross Wallach and Terry Valore to confirm. It would be all about boat count at this point. But yes, I am sure. The schedule has not been updated as of yet....

Probably waiting for a commitment from the teams...

Here's what I learned today...
5k is 72mph...a lot a pedal left
Naci is very rough on a Saturday.
Boat runs and handles great.
GT Jets is a good guy
I need to wear my helmet or ear plugs...I forgot how loud dry headers are.
36.4 miles ran.

Next test is Parker next weekend.  I be there late Thursday
