Ready to Race
 

Spent the day relettering the boat and dialing it in.

We can hardly wait for our first race.

Out on the lake we ran 83 mph, need to work on slowing it down by 3.1 mph.

Only two problems, we have a power steering leak that we need to find in the engine compartment and the fuel pressure is still to high (40+psi). We dialed it down from 60 psi (was on for the whipple charger), but cannot get it lower. Need to replace with a unit that will reduce the flow to 30 psi, very soon.

Rick,
The boat looks great, let me if you need anything else and it's been great working with you. Good luck with your rookie season.

Ben

Best of luck Rick! The boat looks great. Call if you need anything at all.

Chris,
It is probably tough to see, but your new logo is right under the air vent on both sides of the engine compartment.

Rick

I can see it, thanks buddy. Win another championship for the Batboats!

Good luck and enjoy your new toy!!:D
The SCL should be ready by next calif race, hope to meet you then.
Go kick some Bat Ass!!

Rick, looks GREAT,have FUN and be SAFE. Augie

Thanks Augue and Bat Girl.

Bat Girl, so you will be in Benecia? Let me know if you need anything we live about 1 hour away and can help out (i.e. extra cars etc.) We have two Excursions in our crew, and are working to have a 40' Sea Ray at the event for crew and family.

This offer is good for the Pittsburg race as well.

Let me know,
Rick

Rick,
Yes, I should make Benecia. That all sounds great!
I hear the Pittsburg race is a Blast as well. I can't wait to get back out to Calif. again.:D
I will keep you posted.

Get the flag!
 

Hey Rick Congrats. Send your pictures to my email [email protected] Give me a call I would like to hear how things are going.

Slow down that boat!
 

If you have an MSB box you can get a rev limiter kit for it and set it at the rmp that will take you to 79.9. If you have Holley or Crane the rev limiter is built in and you just have to set the dials. Make sure you are not setting it in calm water because it will get faster in some chop. Rumor has it you will be faster in salt water too.

Thanks Tom,

The drive on the boat is a 2" short drive, we are going to start testing with a 1" and 2" spacer which I would expect to slow us down (not to mention I will want the drive deeper when the water is rough anyways).

Rick

Rick - That's Clackster's old boat, right?

Yes, sir

Same boat no supercharger.

NICE BOAT
See you at Benica & Pittsburg
Going to the POPRA Rally & Poker run Jun 28 & 29 ?
I think 50 Points to Racers who run the rally. Check web site or flyers, or let me know I'll verify. The Sac Bridge to Bridge run is fun also.
By the way I think your making the right choice by dropping drives lower it gets pretty rough at times in both areas.
see ya around

BAD ATTITUDE

Jim,
We did the Sac Bridge to Bridge last year in our 28' Nordic. This year we have a room at the Embassy Suites for Friday and Saturday night. I expect our group will be on fire that weekend.

We will be at the POPRA rally next weekend, not sure if they are actually giving points though. I was told we would get points for going to the SCOPE poker run, but once I was there was told that it did not look like they were going to award points.

Not that it matters, I would rather get the points WOT anyways.

Rick
