So I believe I saw in earlier threads that you've raced in that class. I'm assuming that you enjoyed it but what are some other details you can share with us who haven't raced before? What boat were you running and how'd you do?
I raced an 18' Saguaro with a 454 that made around 425 hp.
A impeller to 5k-52k rpm with a best 75 mph.
I was pretty consistent in coming in last place...unless someone would break (which did happen) or have a shitty tune.
On the bright side, having a motor that never quit and always started and ended every race, I came in third place at the end of the season.
My boat and a few others were exactly what the class was all about about.
Taking your river boat, yanking the interior, dropping in a turn fin and kill switch and go racing.
My boat was by no stretch of the imagination a circle boat, though it's origins were, it did better in places in like Parker where the water was really rough.
It handled great and would not hesitate to race another.
Nostalgia Jet was the best time and most fun I think I've ever had in that boat and my memories and experience will be forever hard to top.
Unless you have deep pockets, RR/NJ is just as much fun as you can possibly have without pushing your hardware to it's limits.
Ask anyone who has raced it they'll tell you that out driving the rest of the field and staying under 81mph is not as easy as it sounds.
I for one would love to come back to RR/NJ or CJ if need be...
Check book permitting of course.
