2 questions, First do you have any pics of how your interior was set up and second, did they let you race in your daisy dukes?

Bolting the seat down may be the only issue for boats like ours.
That's assuming the seat mounting rule carried over to RR/NJ.

-beerjet-

I think it would be easy to make brackets that would allow reconfiguring between the original seats and a single center steer.  Reworking the gauges is common in NJBA to swap the tachometer and steering.  Where can we find rules?

Thanks,

Joe

I've completely changed my plans for my Mini Cruiser. It's going to end up a little more bare bones and have all the necessary safety precautions so I'll have the option to race it in the nostalgia jet class hopefully. I'm sure it does it to everyone but one day at the races gave me the bug to race. I'm excited to spectate for the time being but hopefully I'll be able to get involved and hopefully race eventually.

When's the next race?

Are you thinking that for your Hallett?

Yeah man, I think I can make it work. Probably run two front seats with a removable bench. No floor, all open stringers.

Here's a thread from Brad under the boat racing section, now sure what's been changed since then...

I do not have any pics but I'm sure some do exist.
I'm pretty sure full length pants are in the rules.

I'm thinking about rocking a pair  of them myself. Just not sure I will be able to pull it off as well as you do.  It may be a different look with a beer belly.  You know they always pick on the fat kid.

Yeah I would have run mine a little longer then yours.  I don't want to make a bad first impression.
