Score!!

Runne Craft CSH, Yamato 102, 2 props, cart, cut suit, jacket & helmet. If the lake I live on wasn't froze over, I would be measuring pre mix!
Now I just have to learn how to drive her.
A big thanks to all that called and e mailed me with support, and Don, the seller. And especially Jim Tower, for taking me under his wing, and offering so much technical knowledge, and driving hints.
I'm going to try to catch a cheep flight to the Winter SO Nationals, help in the pits, get the feel of things.

Good for you and the very best of luck. Maybe I'll see you in Florida at te winter nationals.

Nice ride Mark.

So how was the Banquet? Wished I could have made it, but I am saving my time & gas money for the boat, and race weekends.
Jim Tower spent the day with me last weekend, and shared his knowledge of the 102. What a great guy! He also went with me to purchase the boat. My brain was in overload with all the great info.
I am getting the hang of it all, a bit.
Found a motor stand (welding cart), fabricated a dial indicator holder out of an old spark plug, a tool to hold the rope puller to get the nut off (pic on the clamps) and a prop shaft height and angle jig from Jim's templet.
The lake I live on hasn't froze over yet, so I am hoping to find a a couple of people on the lake to put their boats in mid to late March, for a safety crew, so I can get some seat time. Millville will be here before you know it.

If anybody has an application for DVORA, forward it to me so I can join up.

Mark, your going to want to sign up with APBA first. That can be done from the main website apba-racing.com. That will take some time to get your card in the mail. As for the DVORA membership, you can become a member in Millville in April. Look foward to meeting you, and welcome to DVORA. Greg Lyons

Is that a fuel pump system on the motor? Than I guess you will be running C mod?

Good looking boat! I hope you have a lot of FUN with it.

Thanks Greg. Joined APBA couple weeks ago. They even gave me my lucky number (not that I'm superstitious).

That is just some aluminum blocks I had setting up there. After rereading the rule book for the hundredth time, didn't see anything about a fuel pump to a reservoir being disqualifying for stock class. Did I miss something? Remember, I am a noob.

Im almost sure the fuel pump system is leagle in CSH

fuel pump setup IS legal on Yamato's in STOCK/MOD/PRO.............

[blueskyracer]

Learn something new every day I guess

[G Stillwill]

Mike I even learned to spell legal

[mark5pa]

Scared me for a minute! Thought I'd be buying some of those expansion chambers.
See you guys at Millville.

[blueskyracer]

You will move to the dark side some day so might as well start saving for the exhaust anyway I should of know with all the posts that stock does not mean stock by any means
