I am working on the Kalamazoo race and am on the IOA board. If you could get the numbers(4-12) I would vote to put you on at Kalamazoo, if the last couple of pieces fall in place to have the race.

Cross your fingers for a happy DNR guy and easy town board meeting on the 10th!

One day of racing or two days?

I know that there would not be testing like at some pro races.

Feel free to email me directly if you like.

I have a question. Pro entry fee's are $250 a day right?

Oh Wait.... I will trade you 125 pro @ Kalamazoo for DMH and FEH @ constantine. And I could knock the fees to and even $200 a day... lol

Throw 'em in with the C mods if you have to.

[modracer220M]

see how you are brian, just like jimmy, want to add dmh and feh and forget about cmh, lol, I'd love to see the 125's at our races but I dont know about throwing them in with the c's

[brian]

Wow I can't believe you do not want to pass a 125 boat!!! That is not a very good attitude!

Your new set up is moving, I would not want to be a 125 with your new boat and pipes out on the water! lol

There is not way you would be last boat across the line.






note: Mike you should hope one 125 breaks down.

I've been told a 125 is about an 80 MPH ride, my c is running really good but not that good, I should have my new tower this week then the rig will be another 20 lbs lighter. good luck with kalamazoo. hopefully bald mountain comes together, it would be awesome to race 15 minutes from home!!

How long a course does it take the 125cc to get to 80mph? I was thinking that the 125cc would take a 1 mile course to get into that speed range and that if the courses were kept to ~3/4 mile the two classes would be comparable. ??? CMH and 125ccH may not make a good combination. :confused:

modracer220M,

What do you have for a CMH rig (what brand boat and motor)?

[modracer220M]

I dont really know anything about the pro class, I was talking with T.J. over the summer and he was telling me about the new 125 motor (cant recall the name) and he said it looked like a fun class to get into and would be about an 80 MPH ride, never been to a pro race myself. I have a giles boat that bill delivered to me in lockhaven and run a yamato 302, it ran great at zainesville and it was 30lbs light on compression and about 500 rpm off where it should be, its all fresh now and I'm going nuts having to wait to see how good its gonna run this year

How's your Dad Brandon??

[thirlbym-14]

He's doing real well.... for a little while he couldn't drive or work and and yesterday was his first time back to work but not full time... the doctors had him scared for a while because they told him that if they had to thin his blood he couldnt race boats or cars... but all is well and he should be back to normal soon. Brandon

[Jeff Lytle]

Great !! Good News !!

Yeah, the blood thinners work great for what they are supposed to do, but if you get a cut..........WATCH OUT !! It's hard to get it to stop and clot.

Now that he's feeling a bit better, ask him to get his butt on here !! Hi to your Mom too.
