MacClugage Racing As A Privateer!!!

[Idok]

My understanding is also that the decision wasn't purely motivated by the machine he was riding. As always in an in environment like this, there is also a political/personal element.

come oooooooooon, not in the beloved world of JETSKIING :bigeyes: :biggthumpup:

Why does he not race the Hydro in the state, was there not enogh built to be legal to race here? Was the plan for him to race the Hydro here next year? Sorry just not up on race scene much.

QUOTE:Big Kahuna hey Ceebee, did you race??


Sure did! I scored 8th in Novice Ski Stock and 10th for National Highpoints. I hope my third year racing will get better.
Congrats on your podium finish in Am. Freestyle!
I saw Mac race for the first time ever. What a monster! I hope he stays here and races the tours. Racing in the states needs his presence and status.

 

[RonnyMac]

What is your # and ski ceebee?
I'll see if I got a pic of you.

 

[ceebee187]

1. Hydrospace is not homologated (legal) here in the states

2. Thanx to HSR, there is no aftermarket companies that make parts, therefore it is impossible to find aftermarket support for a privateer shop racing effort.

With the SX-R, companies are calling us, looking to help out with Chris' efforts because they have new parts they want to develope, market, and sell.

It goes a little something like this...

- Macc Racing teams up with aftermarkets to make Chris the fastest SXR and 15F we can.

- From there we will have new engine specs, ride plate and scoop grate prototypes, and countless other new tech from testing

- Chris goes out and wins with the new product

- The aftermarkets put the new parts into production, and we ship it out to the customer

We get the latest and greatest, they get a world class rider to help develop sound product, and we both get to sell the hell out of it, and the general public gets access to the same equipment the top teams use. Everyones happy.

TBM just released some handling components for the HS...........


hey Ceebee, I raced against you in Novice Stock, but did not make it out of the LCQ............ Oh Well, always next year..........

 

[Jeremy S.]

Big K,

What boat number were you? I sure would have like to met you, unless maybe I did down on line. I was in Chris' qualifier, but not the LCQ. Big #3.

 

[Big Kahuna]

#214......... I think we may have been lined up next too each other, I remember seeing your ski, but could not remember who #3 was!!!!!!!!!!

Too much going on!

 

[Big Kahuna]

Raced in the 2nd heat on Friday...........

 

[Jeremy S.]

Yeap, I think that you were lined up on my right side. We may have chit-chatted for a minuted during the hold up. Oh well, maybe next time I'll be able to say "hi" off the track.

Oh yea, that was probably my best race ever so thank you for not crushing me on the start

 

[Big Kahuna]

hmmmmmmmm, was that the start where you would have had some guy right on your rail up the the first turn (kinda behind a bit??)
remember one start where I was pushed to the left, not sure if that one was the race that got red flagged.........

 

[Jeremy S.]

The first run (red flagged one) Chris got a good jump on the far right. The guy on pole got a great start too. You and I ran pretty damn fast into that first turn. The guy on pole got smoked, I think you were about the back edge of my ski going into it. On the restart Chris got ate up on the far outside.

In the main, I blew 2 outside holeshots and came up in 7th overall. After getting up close and personal with the lake about 1/3 of the way into it, I ran out of talent.

 

[Big Kahuna]

This year (Nats), I was not with it like I should have been, 2 years ago, I got 4th in my qualifier......... I call myself in better shape with better equipment (04 setup was really stock!!!!!!!!! Jetting, Grate, Bars.......... Had the ski this time, it just did not have a rider that could go the distance!!!!!!! LOL

 

[Jeremy S.]

I hear ya. I held 2nd for only about 4.5 laps, then lost 3rd when 4th hit me about lap 6-7. After that the next few went by and thats about where I stayed. There is no way in hell that I could have ran that pace for 15 laps :17: MEDIC!

 

[Big Kahuna]

LOL


Come into Chat if you want

 

[RonnyMac]

:biggrin:

 

[Jeremy S.]

Great shots Ronnie.

Chris said that he forgot his goggles in the qualifier, turns out they were right on his head. Dumbass.
