anyone raceing d-mod,form-e hydro

[form-e one]

Just wondering if anyone racing d-mod or form-e hydro this year, and if so what races , thinking on coming over for a few races

[Team 12R]

contact daren....

seems DMOD isn't going to be so popular this year here in region 10. a stupid decision was made by apba to NOT allow the kick a** stock tohatsu motor to be a legal DMOD points motor.

i'm going to support my fellow racers in SOA and CORA and run whatever they need me to help the cause with my stock 44xs. i have a feeling we are going to have several FE races this year. the self-serving few back east want to let DMOD die... guess we'll help them.

the bass brothers need to know we are behind them.

yaaa i even got a dirty im,,,from one driver saying how they dont want a expensive motor in d-mod part the reason not to alow,,,, deff narrow minded... maybe d-mod and some drivers that want to test can all get together and race form-e/850 or???? that so we all can race..... my prob is i have a d-mod as well,,, flip a coin i guess each morning to see which one I race heheheh,,,or just let someone else race the d-mod since my heart still with form-e ,,,,,

If you bought a stock motor go stock racing, If you wanna race mod do what everyone else does and build a mod motor and quit cryin! and also how many tohatsus are available for purchase today from the bass brothers?

perfect example of narrow minded thinking...

here in region 10 we normally have only one or two real DMOD rigs show up to race. we have several new tohatsus who are glad to step up and work on set-ups for their new motors. you just hurt your class as those couple DMOD boats won't have a class now.

new tohatsus available? that's funny... as many as you want. i've got a question for you mcbain???? i need a new stock gearcase for my merc. any ideas?

[R-43Mod]

Well gentlemen it sounds like there will be 6-8 regular old fashioned 44 merc MODS on the beach over here on the East side, come play. We even allow the tohatsu to step up for points.

Merc D-mod

I built a complete mercury D-mod 2 years ago with all , readily available, parts for less than $4000.00. It even has the Tohatsu downhousing and gearfoot, thanks Bass brothers. I live in region 7 and built this engine because there is ALWAYS plenty of competition in the class. Pretty rare to attend a region 6 or 7 race and not have elims in the class. The class is so large that even the "stock" clubs invite us to help with the show.

I'm with Mcbain...quit cryin

[form-e one]

heck me not cryin,,, i have a tuhotsuuuuu and dmerc stock and 2 d-mods ...and my form-e..... was just looking for people to race with,,, the real people crying are the people who didnt want the tohatsooooo in there class seems they cant beet a stocker go fig,,,, me bin raceing stocks and mods prefer mods for 34 years soooo take that...

[mercguy]

typical.........

again, people are not focusing on the BIG picture................just because a class is doing well in that particular region, does not mean it is doing well in others...................... the Dmod class is controlled by the people east of the Mississippi..........and apparently want to keep it that way..........I bet over half those racers wont show up for the Nationals this year in Oroville!!!!

PS: can you buy all NEW parts for that 44mod? nope!!!!!!!!!

oh ya........ I AM in the Mercury parts warehouse this week and sure as hell dont find any blocks,cranks, rods, carbs, end caps, etc on the shelves.................

Cheney and Bill......you might as well let the subject die.............its a lost cause...........

Did not every mod motor start out as a stock motor and then was MODIFIED. Thus the name of the class.

I must say Daren you are right!

Opinion

Not that I am saying I am for or against the decsion of letting a stock Hotsu is 750CCM.

But how about building up your ranks in Region 10 with what you have ? That would help the sport a LOT more than worrying about 750CCMH. You guys out there boast on how many records and kilo records you have and hold. So it seems to me someone out there knows how to build a Merc 44 Mod engine..... I can think of a few that are more than capable.

Maybe I am being to open minded thinking this would help.

Remember, you can always let them run in 750CCMH at a local club race for no points.... at least you could get the seat time, which seems like all you guys want anyway. I saw a few posts indicating all you did with the Hotsu in Mod was test wheels and set ups for the actual D Stock raceing. So what has changed ?

[Team 12R]

a good sport you boys are...

it's nice that the bass brothers enable you to build a reasonably priced motor using their stock equipment. you would think you might show them a little gratitude and allow their stock motor to ride along with your big show.....

scared?????

[form-e one]

UUUUGGGGGGGG i just was asking who in region 10 wants to race d-mod and form-e this season so we could get together ,,, not start rivalry round 3,,,, must be lots snow and real slow back east????

hellooooooo......

we are trying to build the class dave. both stock and mod. why not let a guy buy a brand NEW motor and run for points in both D classes?

again i will say, "without enough legal boats the mod guys won't get points either".

i hope someday neil and sid decide the only way they will sell their tower and case is attached to a new motor.
