C mod class

[blueskyracer]

I may build one boat this winter if the price is right

[blueskyracer]

I have finally got the boat unstuck from the water and now we just need to find some more speed. Definately an improvement over my avitar picture!

[blueskyracer]

anybody have an extra 10 MPH laying around

[Sonny]

extra 10

Sure were do you need it sent too?..lol. It looks good. Way better than it did. a little bit of prop work and you will be right on.

[blueskyracer]

Sonny, I will PM you with an address to send the 10MPH to!!

Mike;

Looks waaaaay better !

Had bad luck at the nats (Sort of) ! With the wind delays, I was unable to stay for CMH ! Ended up leaving boat with Jerzee Holman to run, finished 5th ! Way to go Jerzee, with some better luck, he might have made the podium !

See you at Eatonville !

John, what where the results for the C Mod class?? I am hoping to get a reworked prop back in time for Eatonville.

Clark and Peters jumped the first heat and Palmquist won. Second heat had Miller out front with Palmquist in second. Looks like another B&H 1-2 finish to go along with a 1-2 finishes in both BMH and DMH. Palmquist also won the NBRA Nationals in CMH. If you guys need some more speed you might ask Brian what his secret is.

If only it was that easy!

NO DOubt !!!

If only it was that easy!

I am sure he would share his speed secrets to a tee with everyone too !! I wish it was as easy as having a decent boat !! If it were more of a variety of people would win Nat's....

I would of thought if you had dominate equipment in a class that you would want it to stay that way. I will give it a try.

For us the season is over now for another year. C mod is a great class but for me it was disapointing. Just never got the boat going but we will give it another year with more testing. I did learn how to run in the back of the pack with the bad water and never went swimming this year so that was a plus.

If you are getting up there I found out that a laydown is the way to go. I don't have all the aches and pains after a race weekend anymore. It is great for me.

Mike;

You made lots of progress over the year, a lighter boat will help a bunch too ! One of the drawbacks to us more 'Beefy" guys, we need light boats !

Hope to see you more next year, hope to make it "East" once or twice next year too !

Amen to the laydown boats comfort level too !

Can someone please tell me what rpm's you are seeing with your pipe? I am trying to get a home-made pipe for the Y302 dialed-in correctly and the highest rpm's I've see so far is 7,200; going back to the stock exhaust and same everything then it's 6,500. I use my Y302 on a V-pad hull. I am from the Philippines and I used the 2-stroke tuner's handbook by Jennings as reference and also another book by Gordon Blair. My Y302 is stock except for the pipe. I have retarded the ignition timing to 4mm (~28-deg) because I didn't want to burn any pistons.

Should I be shooting for 8,000rpm? Dunno if that's attainable with stock port timings. Sparkplug noses are light tan in color, pipe is "singing".

Any help would be appreciated.

Well I finally got the rpms up today.The rooster tail was hitting the pipe and was cooling it down so the tuned length needed to be shortened, a lot!!! I bet you all knew that........
