thanks to everyone who had a hand in helping me get this boat done....flytime, wanabe, marcsrollin, chromey, my bud doug, cousin kyle, undone, Chromey for the help with the awesome paint job....and of couse, Tom, Josh and Rhonda over at Jet Boat Performance and Ralph and his Pops of Brunt Racing. With out the help of all of you, this boat would still probably be the same boat the day i bought it.
Huge thanks for luckie stiff and his wife....there are no words that can discribe the extent of hospitality they have given myself and everyone else on the site. They are good people for sure.
Thanks to everyone who helped me out with the boat at the race...Terry, Marc, Ralph and his Pops, Tom @ JBP, Skip, Bob for the gauge, chromey and marc for going on the tour de bakerstucky looking for a mech gauge and oil.....and last but not least....thanks propless for sticking around and helping me clean up/break down camp.
I had no intentions on winning anything this weekend. I only wanted to shake down the boat and get some seat time in it. We had some gremlins to work out and still do. It came as a shock to me that I took first when we started trying to figure out who won so the purse sponsor (Jet Boat Performance) could write the checks.
Since nick blew his motor and lance/rick were having fueling issues, I won by default, but I will accept the plaque on behalf of SCJB.
A correction to propless, I did have 1 DNF.....first heat on Saturday I came in after 2 laps....the electric oil pressure guage was showing only 20lbs and I played it safe rather then sorry.
