I never said it was easy, Jim. However if the conditions allow for it, I don't think a rulebook should decide how fast people can go.
Quit being such a fag, you fag :p

Are you planning on maybe running ???
Speed limit is not up for debate. It has been desided by all of the SCSC members. So get past the max speed issue and race.

I am opposed to the speed limit as well but at least you can drag race up to 80. Whoever can turn and accelerate the fastest should win. :cool:
There was no speed limit for the Parker 300 and average speed was around 75mph of the winning boat. It is a lot harder to run 80.9mph in 2' chop than you think Tittie Chaser. Gay or not safer racing is good racing.
it was that slow only because the Short Bus kicked a rod. :crossx: That 2' chop was nothing at 100+ in the bus.
i have always wanted to circle track race my kachina jet boat. i heard back in 70's they used to circle track race jets around firebird lake island and all. kachina boats told me that there old customs used to race there then. anyway without my nitrous kit my 19 ft kachina saber jet runs 80 mph. i used to drag race my boat in the river racer class at IHBA events. my boat does not have a setback pump and it turns very well. so i would assume that since my boat and safety equipment and my life vest and helmet, etc passed tech for IHBA that my equipment would pass tech for this SCSC organization? can somebody let me know? also how long is this circle track course? is it laid out like the SS & K boat track at firebird which has two bouys about 1/2 mile apart? also how many laps do you race and how many heats do you run to decide the winner? last but not least how many races a year will there be and what time of year? i would assume summertime at parker only?

My bet is that if the average speed was 75mph then the straight away speeds had to be more than 80.9mph. Think about it, unless the boat that held the average speed of 75mph was carrying that speed through the corners the straight away speeds had to be higher than 80.9mph. I didn't know that they even raced jets in circles, but it sounds cool to me and I like to see it. Where do they hold races at other than Az?

It seems that I have created a little bit of confusion. The Parker 300 does not have a speed limit.
But the SCSC classes do. The Nostalgia Endurance and Comp Jet will and are 80.9mph.
now we're getting somewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!good work jim!
