« on: July 20, 2009, 08:25:02 AM »Looks like a good time.
What kind of changes are you going to make to the 402?
Most of the time were trying to air them out, not get them wetter.
And are you going to Long Beach?
Well for starters we are going to change the steering. Putting Calgo back in so we can take the slack out.
Maybe some shoe and loader changes. To pull it down some. I am even going try and take a few degrees
out of the nozzle to make it run flatter. I just hope that we can settle it down.
Not planning on LB right now but things can change.

« on: July 19, 2009, 08:19:19 PM »i knew nothing about this event until terry mentioned it to me at the wedding. ralph mentioned you (louis) were going to set some record, i assumed it was a kilo deal, not a compjet course record and compjets were running. im a little embarrased i didnt know and i made no mention of it on the compjet website either.
how many boats ran? who ran? any idea what place they finished each heat?
i would like to update the site with points results from that event. I just got the official corrected results for burley from terry so i will be putting that up as well soon.
I'm lookin forward to finally re-join the class in long beach.
Brad the event was a record course. 1 1/4 mile course. The compjets went their to run and set a course record. Mark Moyle set the course record.
It was not very impressive as the water conditions were sub-standard for a real good run. The course record is only 76 MPH.
We ran 5 boats, Mark Moyle in the 203, Scott Dayle in the 637, Joe Dillworth in the 171, Richard Hammond in the 40 and I ran the 402.
I am not sure how we finished in each heat because we blew the clock starts so bad. The overall winners are Joe Dillworth 1st, Me 2nd, Scott Dayle 3rd, I think Mark Moyle 4th and Richard 5th not sure on these two. If you need official result I can give Mark a call and see if we can get a copy.

Sundays Details
Well today was a better day. No one locked their keys in their vehicle. We also kept the boat right side up and it finished 1st in the heat and in the main, I was not behind the wheel though due to some very sore body parts. Richard drove the heat and Mark Moyle drove the main because they had some sort of ignition failure in the 203 and could not get it refired and Richard had to leave to catch a plane. I did drive the C/J 40 though to take the starts so the class would have legal starts.
Mark Moyle ended up with the record in the 203 boat, The record is not very fast as water conditions were horrible and we blew the clock starts so bad it added time to the record. The record is only 76 MPH. Scott Dayle finished 3rd overall, I finished 2nd and Joe Dillworth was the overall winner. After all was said and done it was a great weekend and will truely be one to remember.

This is from Saturday
Well guys the day has be rough all the way a round. Almost missed registration this morning. Then after we finished with that my sister locked her keys in the SUV and it had my race boat behind it, we almost missed the drivers meeting before we got it it unloked and drove the 20 miles back to the track following crappy direction.
Next we went out for the first heat race we didn't jump the clock start but we missed it by 45 second or so. The boats were all over the place. (damn beginners)
Mark and I were hauling the mail then coming out of the last corner headed for the finish line, It happened. Caught a roller the boat lifted came down hooked hard left and I went swimming. Boat stayed floating, took on allot of water and sucked some in the engine. I got a free ride to the medic and the boat went back across the lake. After a while at the medic they set me free with a clean bill of health then a patrol boat gave me ride back to the other side of the lake.
When I got back everyone was glad to see me and they had all ready started working on the boat. Richard, John Rork, Jeramy and all pulled the plugs pumped the water out, we got it back running and made the final. Finished third in the final, because I was a little beat up and didn't want to press my luck.
We finished up headed back to the motel and more trouble ensued. Richards A/C was out we were locked out of our rooms again for the third time in 24 hours. The beds are crap and they have no extra pillows.
WOW what a weekend so far. Well I am tired and sore so I am out of here.
All in all It is going to be a weekend to remember
:D:D
Is September here yet so I can relax.
Oh By the way befor the spill and after I got back to look at it the GPS said 95 MPH

Boat Racing / Special Thanks!!!!
« on: June 30, 2009, 08:26:10 AM »
I would just like to say thank you to all of the great people that helped with the C/J 402.
Fist are the Moyles if it wasn't for them and there confidence in my ability to drive their boat
I would not be racing. They asked me to drive their boat when Mark was injured and have supported
me through the last year and have given me the opportunity of a lifetime. THANK YOU
Second is Richard & Lisa Hammond (RIVERBOTTOM AUTOBODY) Richard spent countless hours rebuilding,
fiberglassing and repainting the 402 so that I would have a safer more reliable and nicer looking boat.
Lisa has supported us in this project by being a very understanding an loving wife by putting up with
Richard and I.
There are countless others to thank also. Advantage Boats for some interior gel coat and a new rub rail.
D&L Auto Parts, Harold Bruce (R&D Marine), Terry Volore (for a ride plate when mine came up missing),
Glen Dillworth, Jason Becker and Barry Obler for an awesome power plant, Southcoast Stainless, Riverspeed & Sport
and all of my friends that stood there and kept me entertained while I worked on the boat. I also want to thank
all of my fellow Racers. If it wasn't for the entire Comp Jet Class we would not be racing at all.
Last I want to thank my Mom. Burley was the first race that she has came to watch me race. She was originaly
apprehensive about my racing and after the little incident in Parker (that didn't help either) I was supprised when
she decided to come to Burley. Needless to say she is a great supporter and enjoyed herself. THANKS MOM
SO FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

« on: June 27, 2009, 08:40:39 PM »Great News about Louis!,,,, CONGRATULATIONS!
Louis called me Thursday telling me how good it was running. Louis had completely rebuilt the boat. (that's why he was running his family boat at Parker). Apparently he had them covered by half a lap in the first heat race, and he went ahead and put a larger jet in the carb to be safe, but still had the power to control the race.
I did some work on that engine, although I did not build it from the ground up. Guess there are people questioning how big it is, but its well within the rules, didn't even spend any money porting the heads while they were off. They are actually an APBA spec head with all the castings in the runners still in place, same with the intake.
Good luck again tomorrow!
Thanks for the props Barry. Yes I was running very well today. Finished first in the heat and first in the main. The boat and engine were running very well. Still neeed to work on the set up a little there are some minor handeling issues that we need to tweek but will get them straightend out.
Lost the ride plate in the first heat , but thanks to Harold Bruce and Terry Volare and Glen Dillworth we managed to make a new one before the final and had the boat running back up front.

Well I finely finished the 402. There were a couple of small problems when we water tested it. Had one water leak ( some one for got to tighten the water temp sending capillary nut ) easy fix though. The other was a oil leak around the front of the pan, so I pulled the motor back out and put a new pan gasket and some remodeling to the pan. Should be good to go.
Here are a couple shots of it on the water.

Nick,
All the hardware is the same hardware that came out, we didn't have enough time to gt it re-done.
Ron,
Have a 500in APBA legal spec motor out of a super cat/vee light, that I picked up. Should push it along pretty good.
