Heading out to the aluminum jet boat races on the Feather and Yuba rivers today.
Any body else from Nor-Cal going?
Hope to have some pics tonight.

Just got home from the races. The unlimited class boats flat haul ass!!!
Even the little 15'ers with the sportjets run pretty hard.
Here's a few pics

One of the fast guys, he was really moving.

A rare pass.

The guy on the right was just passed, then he got hosed down by the faster guy.

Doggy Style at speed. He looked fast and sounded real good.

Some more side by side action.
Most of these guys were running a specialized droop type nozzle.

No reverse bucket, with dual cable steering.
All the pumps were set back at least 6 inches, there was a pretty even mix of Berkeley, Dominator and American Turbine stuff.
Pretty good day. May go back tomorrow for more.

COOL pics.
but where's the RAPIDS...

[Mohavekid]

No rapids on this part of the river. Just a wide, fairly deep, 4-8 feet, sandy bottom fun place to play.

I could hear them warming up this morning from my house too.
I'm near Walton and Bogue.
Do you live in Y.C. too?

I am at Bouge and Garden Highway.
I thought they were racing on the Feather tomorrow but they are running from Colusa to Knights landing on the Sacramento.

If any of you guys are around, come over and say Hi. I'm running this little FX boat for Eagle Racing.

Heres a crazy little set of rapids that are fun.

Here's the guy to look out for. He's running 115 mph, Rob Chrunyk.

Looks like you put in at Boyd's Pump.

[Mohavekid]

Hey Jungle Boy,
My son and I were standing on the ramp at Boyd's Pump when you put it on the trailer last night.
I didn't realize that was you, I was expecting to see the boat in your Avatar pic.
We may be back out today, if so, we'll stop by and say hello.
Good luck.

Here's a few more I took yesterday. These guys were hauling a$$ over this little drop off at Shanghai Bend. This little water fall is about 3-4 feet high. Amazing stuff.
