We did run Parker, in November 2009. This is the 2nd Parker race of the season. The 888 boat will be back, just not this year. Life comes first.

-
Yes it is. And I have the batteries for my GPS to prove it.

Good luck to all the racers this weekend and be safe. Go get em Ron! :thumbup:
-
Thanks Bob,
We should be ready, but i've been chasing a short in the ignition. We keep blowing fuses. Been messing with it all day.
I still have to pull the motor and put the drive line in tonight. Then gather up the fuel, tools, and pack. May just have to work on it out there. :banghead:
-
I got to Parker about 4:30 pm today. Man the pits are quiet still. I have a big section saved for all the c/j guys and I guess 1 n/j guy. North end of the pits (furthest from the casino) white and black toy box whith a white and orange pickup. I'm gunna try and find some caution tape or something in the am to make sure the spots are saved. Should be able to get at least 8 boats in here.
-
Thank you!
-
c/j 51 should be there in a couple hours!! still working on it hahahaha :mad:

169 New Guy? As in rookie? As in lay back and watch from the back of the pack? or New Guy as in new to us but been kickin butt in another class and got himself a jet boat?
-
He is new to racing. He also did a great job. Only spun the boat once and recovered very well. Ron didn't have enough power to catch him and mark didn't have enough to catch nick so that's how it finished. Congrats to nick and Terry on a great weekend. We only had 1 boat go down this weekend so that was good and c/j put on a good show. Can't wait for burley!

what was the results of the final heat and the overall results of the comp jets

what was the results of the final heat and the overall results of the comp jets
final heat on sunday was as follows:
21
169
511
72
51
20 (DNS - had a rod knock and didnt race this heat)
i dont know the overall results as i didnt stick around for the awards, but i assume the podium was as follows:
21
169
511
the above results i posted from each race are not official - there was some confusion with some of the boats if they actually completed all 4 laps due to being lapped.
-
I've never seen anyone celebrate getting lapped. ::)

Great fun - Thanks again to every one who helped out when needed. Jet boaters are good people! Brad - great pictures, but my truck needs a bath. >:D

Brad, you can answer this probably best. What are the rookie rules for the class? I thought anyone new to racing was required to run at the back of the pack for a season unless the on site APBA official cleared that driver after seeing him run in competition. Finishing second and first in the heats would not be considered "back of the pack" back in the day and would probably gotten my licience lifted if I had tried it. Don't get me wrong I congratulate them on what appears to be a great running boat and I don't want newbies not racing because they can't "win" for a while but the original intent of the rookie rule was a good safety and experience gathering tool. What is the rule?

You are correct. I do not know the situation behind what was said or what happened. there was no protesting from what i saw amongst the racers. i was purley a spectator at this event.
I heard in passing he or his father did used to race compjet 15 years or so ago before it died. dont know anymore then it was just said in passing.
either way....first timer or not....he did very well and looked like a seasoned racer out there. :thumbup:
Maybe someone else can chime in and shed some light to your question. Sorry I dont have the answers.
-
He drove great, was plenty fast and desirves evrything he achieved - to the fastest go the spoils! Great job.

Not entirely true .

Well I have been protested and protested, both in boats and motorcycles; for equipment, course cutting and other things. But never the better driver/rider, so for me no foul.
-
I had a great time; now I have to get a faster boat -"I show those youngins"! Again thanks for the help and on the win! :thumbup:

Thanks for posting up the pics.
It was a great weekend for us and the C/J Class.
Next stop BURLEY

-
Sorry I missed it. Congrats on some great runs everyone ;D

If your in for fifty, 4 laps will be a piece of cake.
And alot cheaper.
See you there Ken.
-
Terry thanks for the clarification. I can understand that letting two race while the others are sitting back watching is no way to build the class and I'm glad all went well. Congrats to all.
-
By the way does anyone know how I can contact Mark Yunker - you know the second place boat.

Mark!! 951-232-8820
