  • Elk River 2012 E mod class

    The weekend started out with high winds and the crash boat had engine problems so testing was cancelled halfway thru.. The weather was cloudy but calm Saturday and racing was really close.. I used my 40 motor to see if it was all better and it worked great and I had great starts but the bigger motors motored by with ease..We ended up with three third place finishes.. We had no shear pin problems all weekend!!!! And I must say the two pin turn gets really rough but being out front really helps and the boat just handled it all great especially on Sunday with more power!!

    I was tired of that so we did a engine swap Saturday night and put on the Anniversary present motor..Sunday the weather was worse with a lot of rain in the afternoon but calm winds.. With the 44 the boat came alive.. In the first class with more power my timing was off and I was early but was able to motor down all but one boat.. The second two heats were perfect and so with our first win in this class we are hopefully ready for Centralia

    I will say it has been a hard and spendy road.. I will feel even better when I get a back up motor that is in the works..It was nice to see 6 E mods for the first race.. And yes they are all laydowns

    I must say thanks to Jon Peterson for the power and Sid Bass for the gearfoot that does not break shear pins and has the ratio that my motor likes and George Doi for helping as out pit boss and taking over when everyone used else used up the battery on our starter.. I think some folks in our group like our new starter..

      Yes it was finally fun.. We also enjoyed our new time clock just like the new SOA one..It is so easy to read and it is very accurate..

        40 CI motor

        Don't feel to bad about being passed by a 44 with you running a 40. It takes a outstanding 40ci to run with just a average 44. In Centralia you will be running your 40 with other 40's and the Tohatsu's.

            Good Deal

            You better get that 40 dialed in and the 44 ! I hope to show you the southbound end of a northbound EH !!! Hehehe.

            I know you have worked hard at this project, from zero experience, and basically zero contacts and insider knowledge on the class. I am glad you stuck with it.

              Dave thanks but if it was not for this web site I would be nowhere..It has helped to meet and get to know folks that I have never physically seen and they have been very free with there secrets..A lot of folks have said they dont want the knowledge to be lost forever and want it to keep getting passed on..Thats what boat racing is all about: And if a person gets frustrated than they move on and that does nothing for racing

              I know you guys back east are really into mods so maybe you might eat my spray or I will eat yours but it should be fun.. Just keep the humidity turned down
