Josh & Jeff Racing in Equador

[krazy karl]

Not legal unless you are going to Equador to run the marathon. Lonnie had one several years ago and couldn't use it. It worked though, according to Lonnie. I saw it at Salt Springs where he was testing it. Darrell Sorensen gave him the bad news. Jeff55 says it added quite a bit of speed when he raced...

Team Ross and Alkama will be bringing our racing partners from Equador up. They have the winner of the Gauyaquil race 2013 Felipe Adell ( Mechanic) and a father son team Ruben Guerrero Sr and Jr. Would like to thank Josh Pearson for suppling the CSR for Ruben Sr and Mike Affolter, Greg Alkama and...

A few

There are a few racers in and around the St Louis area within the NBRA. I would bet someone will work something out. Cool thing is, we even have a class that races the same exact engine he races in Equador, with the very same pipe configuration. Maybe Doc Miller can get him into...

Video assistance



Josh
I believe APBA prohibits the use of video devices in determining driving infractions! In todays world of technology you would think this tool could be used to help resolve driving infraction issues!!

I guess in Equador it is...

Jeff, great photo's. One question? Did our friends from Equador that spectated, and did not race this year wish to? I'm asking because I may be able to make one CSR available for next year. Mark...

Will they ever want to race here again!...

Make the Call



George has built plenty of boats for folks, have you tried calling him ? I bet he will let some plans out...

Or you could call the one who builds that style, Jerry Davids. He has built a lot of them, for a lot of people, including some folks...

Grrr

I remember as a kid the IOA always had these kind of deals at the local races. Seems like back then the towns had a festival we were a part of and there was always a "Queen" of the parade, or Ms Indiana, or something at the races. I remember as a kid trying to get a smooch...

Here are two CSR's headed to South America courtesy of Jerry and Joyce from Davids Motorsports. These boats have been proven in the states on the APBA closed course stock outboard curcuit, now they head off to race in South America in a marathon style outboard race. We wish them luck and hope they continue...

[mike ross]

Well as you all know we had the guys from Equador come and race with us a few years back. We provided 3 rigs so they could try there luck at this great race. Well they want to try it again. I am going to provide one rig for Felipe Adell. He has 2 other racers who would like to come and try there...

Mi Amigos

These guys from Equador are a great bunch of racers. I'm very excited to hear they are coming to Top O'. I will bring 2 extra helmets. I'll chip in for their entry fees too. Should I send you the money Mike? Or pay up at The Breakers?

[mike ross]

Thanks Mike. I have talked with APBA and the guys from Equador will not have to pay the higher price as they are new members, So the price to participate is $160, to join APBA, $25, to join Top-o-Michigan club and registration should be around $75. So they will be looking at $260 total. I have...

[jeff55v]

I bet those racers in Equador would love to have this! If your willing to ship it to them, I bet they'd offer good shipping reimbursment.
Just a thought.

Hey Matt
I don't think Clark will be making an appearance. I believe I saw shots of him in those videos about boat racing in Equador. He was the guy giving safe driving instructions to the drivers.

Were the rivers down there anything like this?

Its In The Books!

GREAT RACE GUYS AND GALS!

Another fantastic weekend of Top O' Michigan boat racing is now in the record books and has become a part of the rich history of the worlds greatest outboard marathon!

The famous Top O' weather again helped make...

Ok lets see...



O.k. since I agree, a driver exchange program would be cool. Let me see if I can help.
I'm a hydro driver from region 7. I don't plan to go to the top O. But I only have one set of kevlars and jacket. Exactly when will you need to borrow the stuff?...
