I want to thank Lilrick and Terry for coming out and making this a great weekend. Ross thank you so much for making my dream a reality.
The CBR Sanger work great the driver did good and the bone stock BBF front sump engine worked perfectly. We were not the fastest but we finished each heat. The driver we had did a very good job pushing the go peddle as far as it could go. The boat does need a bit more set up work concidering it was the first time out with this whole combination.
We also need to thank;
Jim for stepping up with all his required authorizations
Duane at HiTech Performance
Paul at High Flow Dynamics
Ron at Boatracingfacts
Jim and Tina Boatnam Racing
LifeLine
Don at Triad Performance Marine
Billy for launching

what other hulls were out there with yas' there ol' brutha james??
Sounds like you guys had a good weekend up there.
Yes Jim was very happy to be racing. We had a hell of a time getting there. Spent 2hrs on the side of the road friday night with a blowout on the trailer. The fog was so think you could not see anything. Stock truck jack was rusted up. Jim got us fixed and back on the road.

I have some pics for you S.T. We were on the far side by the turn. Did your driver have alot of seat time? going into the turns he would back way off the throttle and only take them at 20-30mph.
Bigger question in my mind is why the Sanger was parked in the pits Sunday morning, but nowhere to be found come Sunday afternoon when it was time to get wet? Kinda hurt the comp jet deal as they then were combined with the nostalgia endurance boats which are substantially faster. Still good to see some jets running, but it would have been nice to see them run on their own on Sunday.
Side notes, CJ410 had a nice start on Sunday jumping out quick on the outside at the green. But the pump unloaded for a second when the boat hopped some rough stuff and the prop boats on the water made quick work of him and Rick shortly thereafter. Hopefully more folks that had signed up to run the event will be in attendance at the next stop for the Nostalgia Comp Jet class.

Everyone was guessing about 55-65mph, the rest of the jets seemed to be going about 65-75mph.
