Weather now calls for temps in the 70's to 80's this weekend..Should be a nice change from the 100's and make more power

[Kevin Martin]

Mike, what time is testing to and from on friday? Also how much $ to test. thanks Kevin

[Mrs blueskyracer]

Kevin, Testing is noon to 5:00 on Friday. There is no fee for testing. Boat show at 6:00pm with $100 to winner of people choice.

[Kevin Martin]

thank you, thank you. not sure if we will test, but maybe. been a year since anyone has been in a boat

[Kevin Martin]

I have a couple of people asking, do you anticipate and novice drivers? And to clarify, the kids running novice with restricted 80's and 102's in SLORA can run this class without any changes??? Just want to be certain before they make the trip. Kevin

[Mrs blueskyracer]

I believe the answer is yes, but I will defer to Dave M or Mike someone who knows more about engines that I do. I just know the darn things go on the back of the boat

[Kevin Martin]

thanks , if i read what they posted correctly ,they are legal the way they run now. thanks again

[Dave M]

Legal

Y102 and Y80 are legal novice engines. Just make sure the right sized restrictor plate is in for each engine. I believe that size is listed on the NBRA website, in the rules section. You can make one.

[blueskyracer]

I would like to ad that we will not turn anyone away from racing with us..Also I would like to ad that since NBRA has no straightaway records in the books their will be some record holders leaving this race with a big smile..

Our goal is to have everyone leaving with a smile even if you dont get a record or win your class.. This should be a lot of fun but it will go by to fast..We have been working on this since last May a year ago..Now it is time to see the payoff..

Again keep track of your mileage to the race

Thanks Dave for the clarification

[blueskyracer]

If you like to run MOD this is the race for you...If you miss this one you will be sorry

[blueskyracer]

Surveying is now done..Was lots of fun in the lightening storm and big winds..We have permanent markers for future events

legal Novice motors

the 302, 202, 102 and y80 are some of the legal motors. Cut a two holes in a thin piece of aluminum. Both are in the rule book. The second hole is very small. If you can get one to copy it would be better. Increase the high speed jet by at least four clicks. We have run AX hydro and the novice together and they run the same speed. Find a A stock wheel as they seem to run the best. This class is much cheaper than the AX class, using larger boats which are safer. At 10 years old, you can start with a 302 and a C stock hydro, race it until your fourteen, then remove restrictor and race A and C stock hydro.

Can't Wait

Heading that way in the morning ! Should be to the pits late afternoon. Hope to see a strong showing from all the Washington folks. We hear a lot about them and how competitive they are. Well, we are coming to you for once ! The NBRA welcomes any boat racer. I just hope the altitude does not play holy heck with the carb settings. I know we will lose HP in that altitude, how much is another question. So bring it on West Coast !! We can call midwest vs the west shootout !

On a side note for Novice, as Doc pointed out all the legal engines, the post eludes that it is a kids class, it is a Novice class. Anyone can run it that is a novice. You can be a born again boat racer in his 60's and run it ! So bring some friends and lets show them how boat racing is done !
