2007 Nostalgia Jet Circle Boat Racing
I have received word from Ross Wallach Commodor of the SCSC, that for us, the Nostalgia Jet Class, to start our season at Lake Ming/Bakersfield in March, I need commitments. Anyone wishing to field a boat in the Nostalgia Jet Class on March 3rd - 4th, please step up now.
The Southern California Speedboat Club is offering a Nostalgia Jet Class, but with few CJs, they have had to race against the v-drives. This is OK for bragging rights, but according to Ross Wallach (Commodore of SCSC), we Jet Boat Guys and Gals can have our own class if there are a minimum number of participants.
I am working on the Nostalgia Jet Class for SCSC. My goal was to put the rules together that will accommodate most Jet Boat circle racing classes. I want to instill on everyone that no matter what, the max speed rule of 80.9mph will not be changed. This one rule is our major governing body to keep the little guy in the game. These are our Official Rules at this time for Nostalgia Jet. I would like to make a general group of rules across the country. This way if a guy in NC or Washington wants to run out at Lake Ming, CA, all he has to worry about is getting here on time.
Anyone that is interested, would like to get involved, or want more info in Jet Boat Circle racing, please let me know by email: epm@npgcable.com. We need a minimum of 5 boats to have a Nostalgia Jet Class.
