[godocgo]

i don't care who beats me as long as it is on a blaster. (sorry dan b.)


wax , i wish i was over there sometimes, your racing is better. sport in thailand is huge.

saki
now your talkin.

you should have seen us in charlotte, the entire sport class hung out together in the pits. we all know each other and we promised not to run over anybody until nationals:biggrin:

saki i ran buoys this morning off boca with paul p. it was blast. half track was nice other half of track had 2-3 wakes rolling in.:Banane01:
we are doing it again next tuesday a.m. this sunday out of boynton then upto belevedere.

Lee,

When do you plan on coming up for the St. Pete race? Are you planning on practicing around here in St. Pete at all before the race? If you are I would be interested in running some bouys with you. I doubt I'll enter the race cuz my blaster is no where near being competitive enough. All I've got is a 96 with a factory limited pipe, ride plate, intake grate, etc. No head, porting, etc.

I was really wanting to get into racing, but the money I would have put towards my blaster for racing went towards the 03 superjet I just got.

It sucks that there aren't many races here in Florida anymore. When I realized that hurricanes outnumber races in Florida I decided to get into freeriding.:headbang:

Well if your looking for an extra racer on the course to practice with for the St. Pete race let me know I'm always up for running some bouys. I doubt I'll be any competition on my ski, but if you let me ride that spare of yours I might be able to keep up.:biggrin:

i will arrive friday afternoon, we don't usually practice. it is not allowed on the course until race day. we will be practicing down here every sunday.

if you got the funds come out an race. i don't think there will be a big sport turn out at this race sad to say. most of the sport guys have been traveling to race and are tired. i am going to take the family, it is a nicve race site. very kid friendly.


all you free riders need to come out to atleast one or two races a year. we can pre plan the race and have a huge line up of blasters. i would race my limited to make it equal for all :biggrin:

we will have had 7 races in florida this year. so there is enough to go around

 

[FL-cracker]

Yeaaaaa!^^^^^ 15-20 B1's on the line would be the greatest time ever! Next year I would like to get around to a few of these races, down time has killed me this year.

I had no idea that races these days realy are not what they use to be. I remember back in the early 90's, the sport class was HUGE. That was when I was about 5-8yrs old ....... I guess that is thanks to the 700lb+ couches....gerrrrr! Lets give this bad arse sport a turn around! More and more standups+blasters are turning up in the area. I have been getting everyones#.

About 2 years ago me and A friend starting riding pitbikes, we are very sochiable(sp) and this last year pit bikes have blown UP! Everyone is cool as hell, and enjoys just chillin, ripping it at the track, and talking/cooling down in the pits. As far as racing Every class the gates are next to full. If you everwant to go try your hand at Mini sx on a full mod race bike hit me up with a PM, but not for a couple months, this is my off season. There are two bad arse tracks in Orlando(owc), and sanford(ACE).I bought my B1 last year, and it is my new $ pit. I ride mini SX in the winter, and ski in the summer. So far I only got 4k into my blaster, I have over 12k in my BBR perimeter 110!

We need to get this shizzle goin! I dont want to hear about my ski ant fast anough! If you got 10 people sayin that, you will still be battiling, who cares what position it is for! I went through all this same shiot with people who rode pitbikes, but were afraid to race. Now they dont miss a race! It is an addiction, that I cant get anough of.

Come on peeps!

So if I wanted to enter that race what would I have to do? I know I need the following:

1. IJSBA Membership
2. Race numbers on the boat
3. Helmet
4. Entrance fee

Am I leaving anything out besides a mod hull with a stroker lamey?:hail:

sorry, that was a little late, ha ha

no ijsba memebership,, they only jerk us off. you need an apba memebrship or a one day pass. helmet, goggles, vest to be legal. we can make temp #'s out of tape if we have tooo. pay your money and step up to the line. even if you don't race, you should stop by and see how things are ru these days. it is definitely not like the old days. it is more fun now, everyone knows each other and 99% leave their attitudes at home.

 

[FLY6584]

I'll definitely come out and check it out. so the only thing I need to do prior to race day besides practice is come up with a helmet and goggles. the membership and registration stuff can all be done on race day?

i just ordered a freeride helmet yesterday. too bad I couldn't use that to race with. anyone have an extra helmet they won't be using at the St. Pete race. i really don't feel like buying a helmet for one race.

 

[FLY6584]

Lee,

Would you mind posting some close up pics of your skis with engine shots. it sounds like they are a work of art and that Avatar is just a teaser.

 

[FL-cracker]

Yeaaaa...^^^^^ lets see them bad girlz! I can use a MX helmet right? Is there a law that I have to run a stock seat? Right now I am making a completetly custom seat. Does it matter? I know you cant change the top deck, not sure how anal everyone is about a different seat.

 

[godocgo]

i tried taking pics of it before, but you can't see much because of it being black. other than that it looks like any blaster. riva head, speedwerx pipe.

i have 2 spare helmets and goggles but they are both smalls. my head is to small for my mouth i think. i can bring them if need be just let me know.

 

[godocgo]

you can use a mx helmet, that is what we all wear. nobody real pays much attention to the sport class as far as rules. the only people who know you are running somethin illegal are the other sport riders. most of us don't care anyway. i personally want to put a hydrospace motor in mine.

just more people to have fun with.


the close blaster in my avatar is the carbon hull, the other one is last years race boat it is missing the motor and pump at the moment. stole those for the carbon hull, i am still waiting on mr. lamey to give up my cylinder so i can have the new motor built.

 

[FL-cracker]

cool cool, lets see some pics! Flat black is pimp!

I normally wear a medium, but I may be able to fit my head into a small. If I can't come up with anything I'll let you know. Thanks for the offer.

You mentioned they don't pay much attention to the sport class as far as rules go. Do you think I could get by with the freeride helmet I just bought. Check it out and let me know what you think. Same one Blowsion has, but its much cheaper on this site:

[FL-cracker]

^^^^For real, I much rather wear a lighter weight helmet, but not trying to push any limits. Light weight MX helmets can cost over $500.

Man, I am pumped about this racing shizzle, hope my boat is together by then. I should be at the nationals for sure! I hope you dont have to have a certain # of races under your belt. If so I will be watching! Ive only ridden around bouys once, but I was told I was ripping I dont think I ever got tired, it was pretty much hold her wide open and hug them bouys! As soon as my boat is finished I will be training. I need like a manual or something, I dont even know which color bouy you turn right vs, the one you turn left.lol When we set up ours they were all the same. haha

Blah Blah Blah, I know

 

[godocgo]

you can probably get away with that helmet, just wear googles and don't get hit in the head.

red or orange buoys are left truns and yellows are right turns.


basically take red on the left side of the boat and yellows on the right side.

 

[FL-cracker]

^^^^^Thanks!
