Reply With QuoteIts too bad Cyclone sold that red rocket. He would have had a ball running in this class! I know I did...:rollside:
Maybe the new owner will bring it out. it would make for one heck of a circle boat.

Ya J get that thing back in the water! :yuk: He might need to put that turning fin back on it though for the roundy round stuff.
shouldnt be too hard to replace. most of it is still bolted to the bottom of the boat.
In answer to your ludicrous questions about Busby and Braaksma the answer is yes they should be able to race if their medical condition is not a problem and they are not a danger to themselves or anyone else.
Should they not have a doctor's clearance and go elsewhere to get it then No they should not be allowed on the course. And they would be the first one to say it.
To agree with Tony ... he is right ... we would not race.
With respect to Bells Palsy and what it is and/or isn't ... copied form the following web site: http://www.bellspalsy.ws/
Bells palsy is a condition that causes the facial muscles to weaken or become paralyzed. It's caused by trauma to the 7th cranial nerve, and is not permanent.
Most people either wake up to find they have Bells palsy, or have symptoms such as a dry eye or tingling around their lips that progress to classic Bell's palsy during that same day. Occasionally symptoms may take a few days to be recognizable as Bells palsy. The degree of paralysis should peak within several days of onset - never in longer than 2 weeks (3 weeks maximum for Ramsey Hunt syndrome). A warning sign may be neck pain, or pain in or behind the ear prior to palsy, but it is not usually recognized in first-time cases.
Bells palsy should not cause any other part of the body to become paralyzed, weak or numb. If any other areas are affected Bell's palsy is not the cause of the symptoms, and further testing must be done.
Now ... all it does is make a side of your face paralized. Period. Jim had other things going on. Period. He's addressing them, and I'm sure everyone is wishing him well.
He has contacted myself and Ross from SCSC ... and we both told him the same thing ... he needs to go to his Doctor and get his sactioning body's approved physical done. Period. Same with all other racers.
Jim has stated that if he isn't well ... he won't race. Period. Let's not give him a hard time.
I agree with some points made by all here:
Scott (steelcomp) ... people shouldn't hold something against Jim due to prior health problems
Cas ... if he's not well, he should not be on a course
Tony (JBG) ... people should be able to race if their medical condition is not a problem and they are not a danger to themselves or anyone else and if they do not have a doctor's clearance and go elsewhere to get it ... then they should not be allowed on the course.
I'm aware that people have medical conditions ... myself included. But, each racers primary physician should be the source of giving the green light or not. Not here on the forums by a bucnh of people who like boating/racing.
I understand why Cas has concerns ... just by reading ST Jim's posts ... we all are concerned that it won't happen again ... not only because he's a board member and supporter of hot boats, but espessially on a course during a race.
Jim has spoken to me about coming out to NJBA and running. His intentions are 100%. He has said that he wanted to make sure that he was cleared prior to racing ... by a qualified doctor ... not just the local clinic guy in BHC ... he's traveling into Vegas to specialists and I think he's making a consorted effort to get well & do the right thing.
As a side note: Jim ... I myself probably would not bring all of my health problems out in detail here on an open forum ... you open yourself up to critisim when you do. I hope your symptoms get better and you get cleared to hit the course.

I am pretty sure that there are no doctors in BHC that do FAA or DOT phys exams. I seem to recall another driver who lives there having to go to Kingman to get the necessary Physical. This may be why Jim's dr.(in BHC) wouldn't approve him before.........MP
