Okay kids,
It's official, there will be another Bluewater 300 this October. For those of you that aren't familiar with this event check out more information here at BoatracingFacts.com (http://www.boatracingfacts.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=55)
Seven months to get a boat together for a great race.
Superdave and Squeezing Spectra, will there be a Short Bus in attendance this year? Anyone else thinking of joining the fray?

Are slow ass jets and sprint flatbottoms allowed as well?

CircleJerk - if you need help driving or someone to ride shotgun - give me a ring. It's not that far - only 20 hours of driving or so. With two people driving none stop - that's an easy trip. Leave Friday morning, race, then back by Monday morning in time for work - that's called maximizing your weekend. :rollside:

Sean,
Even better, tow your rig down, roll in Div 6 with the rest of the ski boats and put some hours on that new Boostpower mill.

As far as I know, there isn't much that's not allowed. That Anthony is heavy enough... but is the Mopar stout enough to withstand a Bottomley beat down? :D
Maybe a joint SB/Sweet factory ride?

I will just let SD know to shut the fuel pump off until the boat is running....
:) :) :)
The Mopar can handle ME driving it....Dave ain't nothin. haha, drive it like you stole it. You should have seen my face when Christie said she didn't want to drive the boat in case she broke it.
She thinks I would be mad.
I said "I try and break it every time I take it out."

Cool.
We're still working the bugs out of the "Long Beach Speed & Marine Special" (jet, Div. II,) but we hope to have everything running smooth as silk by the time the race rolls around.

Anyone have photos of this thing running. I don't want to offend anyone, but didn't I hear about this guy as earning a 'Darwin Award' for '05.

SteveD,
send these 'crew members' by the LBS&M shop and I'll see if thay can cut the mustard. I'm having trouble finding a starter. Only way we can get that engine to light off is to hold a lit match at the back of it while I turn her over. My old starter is in the burn center at Long Beach Memorial (in fact I'm on my way there right now for visiting hours) sooo, I need a few new members for the team.
