Heard rumors that a Enduro is returning to Parker this October Possibly 5 hourish!
SCSC Spring Regatta at Blue Water Resort
April 23rd & 24th, circle boats return to Parker for thier Spring Regatta. Crackers, Pro-Stocks, SST45's, GN's, Nostalgia Flat & Endurance, PWC's and more. Come on out and support the racers, you wont be disappointed at the show, especially for free !!!
As you see there is a class with the Southern California Speedboat Club, but the jets are racing against the v-drive guys not bad for bragging rights. But according to Ross Wallach (Commodor of SCSC) we, Jet Boat Guys and Gals, can get our own class if enough of you want to participate. There are no natinal points, no stress, just trophies, and a heck of a lot of fun.
OK any of you jet guys and gals, that want to get involved or want more info in Jet Boat Circle racing please let me know by email; jrpm@npgcable.com. We need a minimum of 5 boats to race at Parker, to have our own Jet class.
Lets get this rolling !!!

Did you delete the other thread? That's funny stuff. Even funnier than some of the comments that were in it.
BTW, when do you start at Rex? I need to order some parts and figure you'll be a great guy to have over there manning the phones. :2purples: :hammerhea

Hey Jordy...you've had your fun, now why don't you lay off a little, huh? I'm sure you can understand that it's not easy for the rest of us to be as perfect as you. :sleeping:
yeah, homeslice got served like a superstar with cheese to a fat chick and he pulls the thread. I guess Jordy was right on the money with the comment about taking his ball and going home.

once again, I'm sure they could just contact the SCSC directly and cut out the middleman. Furthermore, it's pretty f'n ironic that you recommend people to contact you for information on circle jets, when you've been asking everyone in town for info yourself

Maybe he just didn't want there to be a bunch of childish crap on a thread that he's at least making an effort to put something together. You might not like thwe way he's going about it, but what are you doing besides...um...NOTHING!
If this is how you guys get your kicks, you're lost.

Gee, thanks so much for your concern, however I don't see anywhere that I said I was perfect (and challenge you to find that anywhere on these or any other forums) and if ST hadn't deleted the thread, you'd see that I really wasn't involved in it. I made one observation and apparently as Flat Broke said, it must have been right on the money as ST took his ball and left that thread. :idea:

Maybe you should check yourself!
I don't think you have to look very far to see what myself and others do for the love of our sport/hobby/whatever the hell you want to call it. I would deffintely have to say that what my brother and I do is a hell of a lot more than NOTHING. I don't need to waste any more time defending myself on what I do for the sport, or keeping the classics going.
Now as far as getting my kicks... Actually I get my kicks off of sleeping with my wife, driving my boat, making money at work, and looking at bitchen billet hardware and slick setups. The issue isn't about me or Jordy or anyone else vs. Squirtin Thunder.
The real point is the guy has a boner for wanting to be "the man" on this deal. Fine, whatever. He's the man, hoorah for him. I hope the SCSC DOES get enough interest to run an exhibition race. Crap, with only an 80.9mph limit, and average winning speeds even lower than that, my cruiser could be a contender and maybe I should be looking to buy a lifeline. The question isn't who to email to get the information. The question is who would really commit the $$ and actually show up to race in April?
BTW, IMHO most guys couldn't make the changes/purchases needed to be APBA legal by the April date. If someone really wants to make this happen, see if you could get the SCSC to have the exhibition race at the October event at Ming. Plenty of time to hype it, everyone has their stuff together by then, and if it goes well, you would be in a prime position to seek something more permanent for the next season.
I for one would love to see Mike F bring the Capital Punishment boat back out for a race or two, get all these old Rogers freaks racing their rides, and if people didn't bitch about the size see some Spectra/Howard/Hallet/Schiada jet 21's out there mixing it up. It's a great idea, its probably the most entertaining/accessible mix of competition open to a guy with a slower boat, and I'm all for it. I just have a problem with the appearance of a desire for control by one person.
Chris
FB, I read your post last night and just wondered why? The public degradation was brutal. That was very noble to edit that post, I'm sure ST appreciated it!
If I were ST, I believe I would of taken my ball/bat and hit the road too. To get just beat up over something so simple is ridiculous. I really think ST was just trying to gather info, inform and find a committed number of participants that might want to race in this class. I don't believe he was trying to re-invent the wheel or take credit for finding this information. It sure sounded like a 5 boat commitment would get things rolling....
ST, I might be interested in competing and will let you know.......I've got a old Maverick that might work for that environment. I think it's a great idea and would be fun for many!
That was very noble to edit that post, I'm sure ST appreciated it!
It wasn't edited, it all disappeared when the thread was deleted.
I don't believe he was trying to re-invent the wheel or take credit for finding this information.
Actually he was. In the deleted thread was a comment to the effect of "This is my deal" made by ST and he also sent alot of nasty whining PM's to superdave013 (that's where I got my signature) after he put up contact information to cut the middle man out.
Maybe you should check yourself!

Chris...Why didn't you just post this in the first place? I can totally and completely respect what you just wrote.
The issue isn't about me or Jordy or anyone else vs. Squirtin Thunder.
When you're just taking chip shots at the guy with no explaination, it sounds likr that's exactly what it is. That's all I was addressing.
Do you really think that they would want ST as a point man considering some of the bullshit that he has pulled on the forums, mainly directed at someone's main source of income?
No doubt you have a good point, but when you're just reamin' the guy, you're not sounding any better than him. That's all I was saying. I don't get the part where he's trying to be the "one and only" here, either, but I don't mind giving him credit for trying.
Maybe you could offer him some useful suggestions, (not like telling him to f**k off) instead of picking him apart. :idea:

Sounds like in one sentence you bash the 80mph, and in the other you like it.
