Thats exactly what the class needed! Very good job to everyone involved in the building of that site.
Last year we had 10 boats that showed up at every race. This season I count 14 boats and more...
I've seen a ton of those motors cut up in our area and to be honest there really isn't anything you can do to make noticeable hp. I think you will find that you spend a ton of money and all you get...
I hate to say this but the only way your getting a tri is to have a new one built. There are about 15 of them and they are all racing.. You can contact John Schubert at Sport Marine in Richmond Tx....
Tracy Hawkins was driving the boat.. Russ did some testing and looked very good but Hawkins raced it.
Hey!!!! Thats my rookie driver (in the 22)! Gotta say he did one hell of a job!;):D
Heres just a taste of how my rookie did this weekend!! He popped right out with no problem and I had the boat dried out and the motor running for the next heat 35mins. later!!:D:D:D He finished 5th...
That cracks me up David!!:D Very nice to have gotten to meet you by the way!!
Doug old buddy! I hate to tell you but you said you had very little trim in it at all and I have to disagree. You blew over for 100 yards before the boat went over. Well, I saw it happening, let off...
Yes Sir. capsule training for all boats with straps.. Justin has an artificial leg from an accident but gets around as good as I do. Nunez and I keep making jokes at him to leave us his leg so it...
One of my buddies bought my old tri from Domino and Drew yesterday so the boat stays in the class!! Justin, has never raced before and yesterday was his first time in the boat but he can't stop...
Keep me informed on who is staying where because we haven't got a hotel yet so want to stay where some of the other guys will be. I asked Hawkins yesterday but he's going home cause it's only 50...
I rent my radios from Monark Radios here in Beaumont. $20 for the weekend and I get the crew chief radio and my boat radio. You can use mine if you need to and if that helps at all. Also Nunez or...
Gotta new tri-hull driver/boat combo at Bryan this weekend boys!! My buddy Justin bought my tri from last year (the 22 boat) from Drew today! We went and let him make a couple laps after work today...
Can't help with a sponsor because it's just a club race and they are hard to come by. Nunez and I can help with whatever you need for the boat. I'll be in Friday afternoon or you can come to Beaumont...
I couldn't agree with you more!! Shaun has a ton of talent!!
Congrats MERCURY RACING for again suppling great "off the truck" hp.
Way to go Shaun!! Your makin em look silly dude! Congrats!
Didn't make it to the race. Had to replace the trim system in my boat and it cost me all the money it was going to take to make it down to Florida ($650.00). :(
Have you lost your damn mind??
Think maybe you should think before you speak!! Go to the website and read for yourself. Good way to make your first post Mr. well informed boat racer...
Where did you you get your info from?? First heats are today. www.champboat.com Time trails today 3:30 pm
Ok, I agree with you. Sorry Dan.. Just seen this so many times before and the thought of a new class taking yet another couple boats from already dieing classes just sucks. It would be nice in my...
Ok.. Then the status is NONE. Not going to happen. Like I said before, we have classes now that aren't working so no need to add another that cost to much money to race.
Besides, if we were to...
Again, not to disagree but racing as a whole works overseas. Those guys just want to and can afford to race. Here in the US we have to face the facts that for what ever reason it's just not that big...
Not to damper anyones spirits but my dad and Gary Garbreck tried that back in the 80's and nothing happened. Tons of time and money went into the school and dad went out to California to a car racing...
Thanks John... Sucks we are only racin sat. Any idea why? anyway, I'm in. Just got my trim fixed and I'm fixin to go test!!
They dropped SST45 from the St. Louis schedule and added Tri-Hull.:mad::rolleyes: Whatever..........
You sure?? I could double tow the boats and you could fly in..
I'll go if I can find a local sponsor to help me with some of the gas..
Both of those parts are cheap and easy to find at your local Mercury dealer.. Come on down and race.
What can I do to help?? Nunez should have just about anything you could need so just let me know or give me a call and I'll help. We have plenty of pit help also so don't worry bout that!
Doug,...
SST45, SST120 and Tri-Hull are racing. What I don't know is one day or two.
Anyone have any new info? The website says Sat and Sunday but then I talked with Bob Schubert and he thought it was only Sat. Talked with Darrell Beaulier for a few minutes today and he didn't even...
Thanks.. I ordered one from arco yesterday and I'm waiting for it to come in. Took me 2 days to figure out what motor I had but turns out it's for a Volvo outdrive.
I guess I thought everyone knew Shaun was running the stock program. That just goes to show how competitive the program is. It also shows Shaun's natural talent. Nunez is going to run the stock...
Found the problem. The trim motor was full of water and 1 brush was broken in half. Now I have to find a 2 wire trim motor and I'm ready to race!
Way to go dude.;) Keep it up man! Can't wait to see the race on TV. Kinda looks like a CHAMPIONSHIP season you have going on here!
Like a true dumba:Ds I decided to fix something that wasn't broken. I added some padding to the inside of the capsule for comfort and safety (thanks to suggestions from my buddy Burkhardt) and found...
I'm sure others use different but Mercury High Performance works just fine for me. I've tried lighter oils but they drip out the cone after a few laps of running.
Hope that helps.
You guys have our thoughts and prayers for a fun, safe weekend. Hope everyone has a great time and good luck.
Someone please keep us posted on whats happening!
The Thibodaux family.
Cool picture! That was Rick Frost?? I mean the boat you were passing?
Check over on www.hydroracer.net There are more stock outboard racers to help you out over there!
I remember seeing one but I was like 6 years old so I didn't pay much attention to it. I do remember it looking very strange compared to other Mod VP boats at the time. I too would like for one to...
Wish I had that cowling!:D
Jose, I want to appoligize. Seems like both of us have misspoken so that our words seemed directed unintentionally.
You guys know what I mean about drivers using their heads and also about crew...
Are we sure we're talking about a 45SS race motor here? :confused:
Your taking this all wrong. I wasn't speaking of YOU or what your dad tells you on the radio. I was talking about in general what goes on. If you have never heard a crew guy tell his driver to slam...
HANS device or not all boats have mirrors on them and I can see perfectly clear in mine. Maybe in the first turn madness there is some doubt about where a boat is but after that you can't tell me as...
Listen, this conversation could and has gone on for weeks. Bottom line is that the call needs to be made from the driver seat in the boat. If your the slower boat than it makes no sense what so ever...
There was an accident at George winter park one time with Chuck Makay (sp?) and my dad one time that left dad trapped under his boat on the island. Same deal, dad was the faster boat coming up the...
John that looks like way to much FUN!! Glad you got to make some laps in it! Sure makes it worth all the hard work i bet!
