Serious Issues Racing

[DUCKY]

Posting this for my brother. This is the Biesemeyer flat he bought from Big Boy Toys, now sporting new paint, and soon to be drag raced by his wife Niki.
Step 1, the way it looked when he picked it up from Jim. http://www.pritek.net/bigboytoys/vboatside.jpg

Step 2, Primed and sanded...
and step 3, black base coat. http://www.havasubarney.com/iB_html/uploads/post-5-27042-biesmeyer_step_1_2.jpg

Step 4, beginning the layout of the graphics. http://www.havasubarney.com/iB_html/uploads/post-5-27941-biese.jpg

Ducky,
Sweet! Tell your brother "Awesome Job"!
S&S

[SERIOUS ISSUES]

THANKS GUYS. WE ARE 3 MONTHS INTO IT NOW. DID ANYONE NOTICE THE SIDES WERE CUT DOWN TO GET RID OF THE LINE BY THE SEATS. WANTED TO MAKE IT LOOK A LITTLE MORE UPDATED. WE WILL BE PAINTING THE TRAILER THIS WEEK AND PUTING THE HARWARE AND ENGINE BACK IN. SHOULD BE LAKE READY IN 2 WEEKS

[Infomaniac]

BBT hope you find one. The Mrs. said 12500 and you can have it back. I sent my brother "DUCKY" back to cali a few weeks after I picked up your boat to get my hydro. I hope to have it done in 3 months or so and should run 8 sec. class. the paint would be a little more complex and we need to do alot of work on the floor.
I just hope my wife lets me drive the Biesemeyer from time to time.

[Flat Nasty]

Sure you can drive my biesemeyer honey, can I drive your hydro??? 8 seconds you say, I can do a lot of damage in 8 seconds! Still want to drive it?

[SERIOUS ISSUES]

I saw you drive the 9 sec. hydro you dont scare me. besides I can fix anything (except you).

[BigBoyToys]

You 2 are funny! Sorta reminds me of a certain Mrs over here. Congrats to ya's both on the nice boat(s) and the recent marriage. (Just remember, ya gotta let her win once in a while) argue :D LOL
I'm following you folks' lead....yep, we're getting another one and I'm going to teach the Mrs how to drive it. Should be fun.

[SERIOUS ISSUES]

acceptance.
It will be lake ready in 2 weeks. We still need to get my hydro done before then. We need to do the floor, paint and build the engine for it. I think 3 month and we can have it done. Just need to find the $4000 + -.
LOOKING FOR DONATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RIVRHED]

Its refreshing to see people doing thier own work on thier boats. smile_sp Your going to drag race it?
Nice job, cant wait to see it done.

[SERIOUS ISSUES]

it doesn't have a whirleaway so we cant race it. the Hydro, however we hope to get to the firebird race in October.

[DUCKY]

SERIOUS ISSUES:
it doesn't have a whirleaway so we cant race it. the Hydro, however we hope to get to the firebird race in October. 10 seconds or slower is not required to have a propshaft release. It is recommended. This is straight from the '02 IHBA rule book.

[GofastRacer]

If it runs 70+, it should have a whirlaway!!..My .02... :mad:

[RIVRHED]

SI, spend the $ on the safety, you'll save 10x in the doctor bills if you get wet once.
Hope to see you and the hydro at FB sometime. What are you running, CE?

[SERIOUS ISSUES]

In referance to a whirleaway, I had a motor lock up in my old DiMarco at 90+. It wasn't that bad w/o the whirleaway. I here ya guys about the getting wet thing. My last biesemeyer put my wife and I in the drink at about 85 in havasu 1 1/2 years ago. walked away a little sore but my wife broke 2 ribs and cracked a 3rd. still feel luck, 9 years of driving these boats and the firt time I got wet.
THE HYDRO WILL RUN IHBA PE I HOPE. WE WILL SEE HOW MUCH POWER WE GET OUT OF THE MOTOR AFTER IT IS BUILT.

[DansBlown73Nordic]

That looks great. I love the look of the Checker Flag. I have been looking for some ideas for the Nordic. I don't think anything looks better than a Black boat. wink

My wife on the other hand, wasn't holding on the first time I took her for a ride in it :D Didn't get tossed but she learned real quick that ya have to hold on when I'm behind the wheel eek! :D

[SERIOUS ISSUES]

I here ya guys, I felt inviceable for a very long time, the havasu thing woke me up a bit.
gofaster, were do you take your boat? I go to the lake all the time and have never seen your boat. Always looking for fast boats to play w/.
DANS66, thanks. The best thing about doing the work yourself is the compliments. anyone w/ $ can have a nice boat. Lots more fun to tell everyone you did it

[GofastRacer]

Serious, I've never had my boat in any of these lakes around here, I always go to the river, guess I'm spoiled!! :D It sure is a good feeling when people look at your boat and say how cool it is and when they ask who built it, you can say "I did it"..I built mine right from scratch, had a lot fun doing it too!!.. wink

Its the lake we go to most often.

It wasn't that bad w/o the whirleaway.Bro, and I've seen boats broken in two when the motor locked up without a prop release. There was a long thread on prop releases a while back and different lines of thought, but if you're not going to race it, it's your boat and your choice. But at the top of this thread didn't Ducky say that you were going to drag race it? Whatever the case, very nice piece and good luck. :D
I thought BBT had that boat set up to run with the SSRS. What happened to the prop release?

I thought BBT had that boat set up to run with the SSRS. What happened to the prop release? It was set up for ssrs except it was missing the prop release. he didnt install one because of cost and the possible capsule rule. I guess it wasn't worth it.
we are building a hydro to race and it has all the safety stuff in it, My wife would love to race in the boat as a PS if they get away from the capsule rule. If we do that is would have the prop release, as for now it is just a fast, fun lake boat.
anyone have a whirleaway for sale?

[GofastRacer]

Talk to Tom at Menkens, he'll set you up!... :cool:

And yeah, Tom @ Menkens is a good soruce for then.

I thought BBT had that boat set up to run with the SSRS. What happened to the prop release? Scott, I had the stuff ready to install for the whirlaway and was going to have it ready for Red Bluff in 2002, but, after fuming a little more over the APBA (and their stupidity) and the capsule BS, I sold it and never installed it. The motor that I included with the boat is a SS legal motor after changing the intake and ignition. So, technically, that boat, add a whirlaway, change the intake/carbs and ignition, and it's SS legal. The engine had maybe 25 hours or so on it.

[BigBoyToys]

And as a footnote....I am VERY close to purchasing another circle boat. I'll be setting it up for the lake right now....but...
We'll just see which direction the SSRS goes in relation to APBA before any more decisions are made wink I will tell ya this, I like circle racing FAR better than drags.
Keep me informed 126driver as to what's going on. Give a yell at Paul and have him email me once in a while to let me know what's going on with the SSRS....ya never know what can happen. Maybe racing a circle boat again soon? We'll see eek!

[126driver]

Will do BBT, though it's going to take a while for me to get caught up with all of the SSRS stuff...the meeting is this weekend in Vegas and I had to back out of my plans due to work. :mad: There's going to be some changes though...

I hope there's changes. I've been around boat racing for some 25 years or so and have never seen an organization that is comparable to the SSRS. I would re-join the SSRS in a heartbeat if there were certain changes. And ya know, I think that the SSRS could survive as a separate organization, not sanctioned by APBA. The APBA needs the SSRS, but the SSRS don't need the APBA.
Like I say, we'll see what happens....

[haulina29]

Why not build it and race it and if they go to capsule rule put it on the lake ? SSRS is a great program and there are alot of guys having a blast they dont seem to be to concerend about the capsule dilema . The non racers seem to have more of an issue with it than the racers do . Numbers on a Beismeyer dont make it a circle boat , I would call it a lake flat or a ski boat if i didnt race it just my 0.2

[ps555]

BBT You dont have to worry about emailing Paul from what heard through the grapevine hes stepped awsy from the series. Thats about all the info I give you intill the meeting over I know a little more but I want to make sure I give the corect info and not bullshit :D

Numbers on a Beismeyer dont make it a circle boat , I would call it a lake flat or a ski boat if i didnt race it just my 0.2 Because we are currently setting up a drag boat.... And, if I'm gonna build a boat to race(I agree, numbers on it don't make a race boat), it takes alot of time and $$ that I'm not gonna commit to something that I may or may not be able to race for 1 year. On the other hand, we have been looking at maybe running a circle boat in the NJBA brackets....and see what happens in 2004.

I thought at that time that he might be getting a little burnt out on the whole deal... He's a great guy. I'd hate to see him leave the SSRS.

[GN117 Big Dawg]

Hi BBT!I told my good freind Todd up in Denver, of your plans for a sprinter. He told me, that you guys talked, and he sent some pix of his red boat. Pretty bitchin piece huh! Just thought I'd mention it, I thought the thing was spectacular myself. If I wasn't doing the GN deal, I'd jump all over it! A bitchin boat, for a rightious price....sweet!

Now i'm not saying that racing isn't fun because I had a great time, but it amazes me how the racers want to put down the river guy's just because we don't take our boat to the races "different strokes for different folks". If i'm not mistaken there both about having fun and doing something you enjoy, so with that said have fun going around in circles!! wink

How's it coming along? the trailer was painted and carpet put on 2 weeks ago, the harware went in that week and the motor was dropped in on Saturday (fired her up on Sunday). We are now getting the seats done to make it complete (will have them back in 3 weeks or so). It does look good and will have pics up this weekend (I hope).

[SERIOUS ISSUES]

Hey BBT! by the way, it looks like we are going to buy that Revenge that needs some love. I plan on selling it after It's completed if you have not purchased one by then.
