Something Happened Near a Race Site!

[CircleJerk]

:jawdrop: Girl Rescued from Pend Oreille River by race driverThe REAL story from our Columbia Boat Racing Club Ione event was not who won the three flat classes , or who was the fastest, or how many boats graced the super City Park (more than any 2007 event), or the cleanest boat, or who had new APBA inspired uniforms, or who allmost crashed, or who got the tipsyest or anything as trivial as that but the human interest story
The 'Sweet Caroline' once again stole the show but without a boat(distributor gear broke)! Mark T. and Robbie were giving rides to everyone (with parental consent) after Sat racing. Over the exhaust of Mullet Jeff's Stevens small block, a cry for help was heard and a small girl was spotted swimming, or trying to swim to shore from her Fathers boat. To the best of my knowledge her Dad had consumed one too many 'party pops' and had scared her so bad, she jumped overboard! Mark rescued her and took her back to the Park and our great family of racers called home to the relief of her family. It seems she and her sister were 8 hours or more overdue from their boating trip!
Dont get the impression this drunken irresponsible boater was a flat bottom owner, he only wished he was. He did steal a cooler belonging to our rescue boat owner with $70 worth of smoked fish and was seen boating all night and into the early morning hours of Sunday! Lucky for us he did not return when racing resumed. Thank God no one was injured that I know of.
11 racers filled three classes, 2 flats were there to cruise and 2 had broken stuff and came as campers and in this case heros! Our largest turnout in two years of silly cubic inch classes. I hear the Pateros race was also scheduled for the same weekend with the Seattle flats so their boat count had to be miserable. Some things never change.......
Robbie burned up lots of 110 with professional excursion rides to the dam and back with classy runner bottom speed to anyone willing. Most of us would have joined him but if you race, you must trailer it when the course is closed. It's simply the rules and most of us were beat up from bouncing in the BACK! I dont mind a bit, Larry!

[CircleJerk]

OK give me credit for trying to post pictures:
That's Robbie in the wheelie #SK27 Sanger runner 'Quick and Dirty' and Mark in the #50 the repainted former #PC871 'Sweet Caroline'

[CircleJerk]

Mr Dave, E-boat driver as he labels himself, was a popular topic of conversation among his competitors. Running in SK or under 402 cubic inch class, he finished well with this Marlin 16 footer. Perhaps scaring others with his admittedly wild "E-boater 3feet above the rest" driving style, he chined-splashed NO higher than most of us running in chop all Saturday and some of Sunday. This is the man I have talked about who found his former lovable little 'E-Motion' rusting away in Port Angeles Wa. It ran away from me and hid behind its rooster but had problems with the yellow 535 Hondo 396 that GPSed at 85mph and 7400rpm! The rest of us ran ? at 5500! I think it's a matter of time before 535 wounds itself and the owner driver retires from competition, in the mean time Jeff repeats his Championship form from 2006 and seems unbeatable.
Thanks Dave, Levi, Justin and Jimmie, for keeping me enthused with the state of Nostalgia. Dave your grin could only be described as 'Armpit to Armpit'! And of course, it helps when your rookie son beats the fastest circle boats in Washington in only his second race! Congratulations Levi!

[CircleJerk]

The incredible Lavey Team did not dissapoint, merely underestimated the competition. SS701 and SS76 may have not been fighting each other but it sure seemed that way in a couple heats. I think they managed a 2nd and third overall even though their starts werent perfect all weekend. George was happy to get a game of GOLF in anyway, AND they had a trouble free weekend without roller bearings unaccounted for!

[CircleJerk]

Yes, this is our missing 'rat'. He sent his 'Hit Man', Steve to bring home the spoils of Ione back to Eureka Montana, BAAAAA, BUT, that incredible Hallet 396 BBC had a tid bit of valve trouble. It aint the same Timmie and Johnie....How did you get so popular so fast?? Everyone asked about you!
You can usually find him reclining on SOMETHING or instigating some practical joke on someone! Mustard all around.

[CircleJerk]

The formitable PS34 of Team Davis strutting its new power plant, lost power often on the Ione river water. Fuel supply is suspect. Justin just doesnt have much luck here in the past. (one flip, one blown mill) Team mate Levi driving Jimmies spare ski deck b-boat #SS514 improved each heat and won with a 1/2 straightaway lead finish over the SS76 'Orange Crush' Lavey. Hey Levi, you need to sign up and introduce yourself, you did your units # proud!

[Roaddogg 4040]

Thanks for the race report Boyd... They are always enjoyed down here in the heat...
Steve

[CircleJerk]

Yup, thanks to Mr. Hoover, & Mr Williams for these and other shots of prior events featuring the boats mentioned above. How about this one of Justin, Levi and his Dad in 'Hot Pursuit' of another straight away WOT!

HMMM,
as allways,Boyd has given a full and complete report...from a Jerks point of view of course.I knew something was wrong when I saw the "Hit Man" coming through "town"..( no traffic lights for us) on Sat. night.Asked about us?...a couple of toothless Rats???That's crazy!!!Boyd ....oh grand jErK of the Nosties what have we done.If all it takes is a flip and a little Mustard to be famous we are all in trouble.All jokin':idea: aside,sorry we couldn't make this time.We missed all of the whole reason for racin'...and that's all the great folks doing it.Moses....????:idea: :) :D

Yea!!!,
where's super Sanger Larry's pics?Congrats there SS396.Feels good dont' it?:D :D :D

[CircleJerk]

A more recent shot of the SK winner Jeff H. who bought Justins 535 Hondo Sprint bottom similar to V-drive Videos and now has 396 power pulling an 18 gear 7400 rpm with a 14 pitch prop. Not bad. At this time in Clarkston, his GPS said 85.6! This was on a short 3/4 mile course.

[CircleJerk]

I left myself out!
'Greaser' #57 is a 1973 Aquacraft Shark with a 1974 LS7 now equipped with a Joe Hunt 1962 magneto, Isky Z33 vintage camshaft, Weind dominator tunnel ram, Joe Reath prepped crank & short block, 12 degree Casale with 15s, all Nicson hardware, and a 11 X 15 Kindsvater prop. I believe this boat had some ski racing in its past but dont really know for sure. All I know is it's heavy and rides like a Cadillac.:) and it's faster than SS396, just barely.

Some of you may not know but this yellow boat was Marlene & Bill Faulkner Sr. own original 'Hot Canary' that was restored by George Nordling to run with his 'Nemos Lavey Navey'. The is the only L-boat that I know of that features 4 forward strakes and a 3/4 dropped chine. It runs very very good and has beaten Georges' SS76 cut down orange L more than once!

[WannabeRacing]

Wow. That is some great stuff there.
Thanks Jerk.

[FIVE O]

Great weekend had by all, aside from the girl who felt safer taking her chances jumping in the water to get away from her dad, who had more than just cold ones on board ( him not his boat ). Dad needed a good ole fashion welcome from the boys for that one.
Missed you Flat Rat, you could have run with us and had a good time. Its no fun just pickin on one billhilly.
A special thanks to NotsuchaJERKafterall, for the constant adult supervision. Im finaly starting to get the right pedal to work better than my left one. And for your efforts to keep the nostalgia in the sport, so the weekenders like us can have a great time. Oh ya, and the parts that I keep borrowing. Thanks again jerk and the blonde

[CircleJerk]

Sorry, left your Sanger out, my bad. Ror, get busy, rental rates are on the upswing! interest you know........

[CircleJerk]

Yup, cant say his moldy oldy #17 Hallet is anything but fast and well driven by last Iones Champion in the former B class. This 396 is one of the fastest, in fact it ran so hard in its first heat that Steve itimidated one racer to the point of quiting for the day.
Too bad his new Manley max flow valves took a dump. Anyone thinking on updating to nice valves, this racer might advise otherwise. The stem top just broke off. This boat came from Phoenix, I believe and may have been someones racer from the past, anyone recognize it?

[CircleJerk]

As soon as I get a new disc of this actual race, I will post more, if there is still interest.

[sanger ss396]

my years of racing paid off. the jerk gave me a trophy for second place in ski class. i have race outboard hydros for almost 20 years with 10 years off before going back on the race course. THANKS ALOT JERK for getting me back into the fun of going out and having fun out on that water circle again. it was sure fun to be on the water at the same time as you. you are a great leader and example for current-past-and future racers in nostalgil flats. also i want to thank you for all your help setting up the SS396 and the advice you have given me over the last year. it was this time last year that we went over to the west side and picked up the sanger. the better half and myself have had a great time in 1970 Sanger flatty and look forward to more time to come. THANKS AGAIN

Hey Jerk,
One thing on my list of things to do is when my shark is done is a vacation tow up there to come and play. Sounds like a great time and great people. Can't think of a better vacation myself.
The shark is in disassembly right now then the fun begins. Fiberglass dust aplenty.
I am thinking of naming it shark attack due to your post on another site concerning my boat.
Anyway you can look for me to make a trip up there boat in tow as soon as it is ready.

Jerk,
Steve picked this boat up in Elko Nv. for 1,500 bucks.I'm not real sure it was the Manley that let go.You should see the guide,it had so much slop and only around 20 hours on it!It didn't hurt the head at all.Just the piston.
