:confused: OK>> New Guy here'
A couple questions. How do they start the race? from a dead stop, ideling, or up on plane?
How far do they race,? And what is the wight difference between the boat's??? And when and where does this take place?? can anybody show up? :D

[Rocket2003]

IHBA & SDBA RAce's (which are where my pic's are from)
We Start from a dead stop hanging on a rope.
WE race a GPS measured 1/4 mile.
We race bracket race for ET's (12 second, 11 second, 10 second, ect.) Any motor, any weight, any type of Boat!
Anybody can race as long as they have all the correct saftey gear!
There will be two race's (IHBA) down your way in Oct.) Check out schedules at http://www.ihbaracing.com/
Or in the south at http://www.sdbaracing.com/
Come on down!
Ya got an outboard?
If ya want to race only outboards and race from a rolling start, Photo finish, Weight restrictions, motor restrictions, fuel restrictions, But a lot of fun! check out http://www.odbaonline.com/

[Bryan Rose]

yep, jawdrop and I can build two bad ass BBC's for the price of your one weedwacker ...
Never did understand outboard motor prices....

[Rocket2003]

Outboard price's can be summed up in one word..........Mercury!

[WaterBox]

YO Rocket. Thank's for the comeback. Ya I am familiar with IHBA. I'll be at firebird in oct. for sure. Let me redirect my question. Dosn't the BBSP. take place on Havasu? I was referring to them other picture's, the ones that wasn't wearing safty gear. eek! Oh and sorry Dude Iv'e got a flatty. :D Them eggbeaters are quick but they sound funny. :p wink

Hmmm the inboard wins, it is a race boat,belonging to mike. The second is acouple of novice jet boaters against a "race only" outboard. What gives? I could paste them all. Not in the boat I own but rode in. An MTI 42ft.

Kim, I am bull shittin ya,I worked at an mti construction place for a total of 2 months.Believe, me you would not have wanted to trade places with me.That said, I am also the guy that posted about merc and china.I am a jetter and have lost a race to 2 outboards, both mercs, and wanted to stir the pot.I love the big mercs and the engineering involved. I still like to race them on the lake and have n occasaional bbsp against non race boats.I am curiouse as to your, and other opinions, regarding the place of the eliminator daytona in the outboard world.

Those aren't outboards.......( . )( . )........ :confused: http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/722001_eliminator_36_daytona2.jpg

[MAXIMUS]

When is the next BBSP at havasu??? I would really love to check it out! :)

[Rocket2003]

21' Eliminator daytona! That is one fine ride with an Outboard (or whatever on back)! I had a Liberator (Daytona Splash) and it was the best boat by far, I have ever owned! Great in Big water, Fast as hell once you get thier big butt's out of the water! Great party boat (mine had seating for seven). Good looking and real safe!
Two thumbs up to the Daytona!
When I buy another lake boat it will be either a Daytona or Liberator or a Cougar 21'! smile_sp

Dude,Thank's. I would like to hear a big one! What is the boat's like Seebold run's?? there 100+ boat's I thought they were big one's. There kinda like hearing a Honda go down the street. Harley's sound much better don't ya think :D wink :p

[Kim Hanson]

I was just kidding around with you,mine is a V8 with open offshore exhaust! I love it to be loud, same as a Harley! When my exhaust is out of the water, sounds like a car with open headers......( . )( . )..... :cool: :D

Never did understand outboard motor prices.... If your talking building yourself then a wacka can be build for considerably less than showroom sticker.
But let's talk about rebuild prices...
Say you detonate a piston or something like that. How much is that gonna cost to fix??

BTW, my 1974 Hondo was running 8.0's when I hung up my drag racing days. How many cubic inches was that? Not enough to be an unlimitted that's for sure. I think I was making around 35K a year back then. My racing was pretty low buck. So how much money do you think is tied up in an unlimmited wacker engine?

[You Te]

SD013,
The distance is 20 to 30 ft. mostly closer to 20 ft. in gear idle not over 1600 RPM.
They use a barge and a guy makes sure the boats are paired up.
Unlimited boats have a minium weight of 1300 lbs with driver and fuel.
So if you make a pass and win you better have enough fuel for the next pass no refueling.
A boat may start out at closer to 1400lbs depending on how big the feild is.
The same boat could run in the 1100lbs range, with drive and fuel but not in the ODBA.
So could your old flatty get spanked by an outboard, most likely YES.
So can big blocks spank an outboard, sure, they just need lots of horse power to do it.
You Te

[superdave013]

You Te,
WOW that is a short distance.
Oh I know there is some outboards the could spank that old flat. I don't think any from 1974 would be doing it though. lol
Now that STV in the top pic looks to be running an IHBA or SDBA event as it's racing a jet.
What's that boat's e.t. at an IHBA style start?

[2allbeefpatties]

There is no way an outboard is going to beat a hard charging flatbottom. Outboards dont leave the line hard at all and big block motors make way more power. The only an outboard has going for it is the weight.

[sorry dog]

...and you can actually run down to the store and buy one...
Thanks 572- I got rounded up to three again. I am Average again :)
Lubrimatic?? I guess if you gonna hate smoke you might as have a good reason.

[superdave013]

Looks like a 2003 top dog unlimmited outboard is still way way off of what the top dog car motor boat from 1976 was running.
Keep in mind that it is bigger cubic inch. Hey, you guys are the ones that choose to go small. :D

I'm NOT an outboard hater by any means. I grew up with them.

I'm a car motor guy all the way. But.....If I had a 19' Eliminator Daytona it would have a big Merc on the back! I love those things. The 21's are pretty bad ass too. I know I go round and round with the wacker guys but I have to give then credit where credits due. Open a box, bolt engine to back of daytona. Now you have a hard running boat that will run all season (and more) with a warrenty. That's hard to beat.

[You Te]

SD013,
The motor in the 1976 boat looks to be a Hemi I would guess the stock 425 CI or maybe the stock 392 CI but I would be willing to bet it's over 500 CI in that boat. It should run 200+ miles per hour.
The Mercs are 153 CI, so I guess women are right, size matters. :D :D

you te, the class is limited 2 500 cubic inches you horses ass.

Could you imagine running a 500 inch v8 inboard 2 stroke!! That thing would be the next best thing to a jet engine!!! No doubt that a 2 cycle has more huevos than a 4 cycle.

[sdba069]

That Quartermaster belongs to a friend of mine and his dad,Travis and Gary Tutle.Travis was an employee of mine for quite a while.Travis's dad is a long time circle boat racer and Travis also has made quite a few laps.Their motor is a nitrous fed 2.5 litre Mercury and has run some high 8.80's in the 1/4. I've run Mirage's for several years,but jet propelled.Well if any of you clamp-on guys want to see how bad you really are,just show up at our little cookout the first weekend in October.Check out the topic about the Lake Whitney bash.Travis is usually their and so is Marty Logan along with about a gozillion other outboard guys. The fastest 2 boats down here last year was my Mirage jet with a little baby motor with 1 carb and a little juice and a blown alky injected Cougar tunnel with a V-drive that belongs to Infomaniac. It is much bad.All you got to do is come git-u-sum.
