Oh, and just for the record, I am NOT craig's new mechanic. I only take sea doos APART. EB can have all the fun of reassembling them :)...

[gpr717]

it is an impression not an imitation LOL

[JB]

Great job to everyone who raced. I hope I can join the fun next year.

Spencer,

The New Jr Racer (Novice Next Year) Took 6th in JR Ski LTD (on my Stocker) and 8th in JR Ski Stock. It was a very good showing considering the time that he had racing prior to this event and the time that he spent on my ski prior to the event (about 30 min).

[fox river pwc]

Yep, Spencer looked very good out on the course, PLUS he did a great job running the camera for everyone. Thanks again Spencer.


No Kevin, yours was clearly an imitation of a quadski. Impressions need to be perfect, imitations just need to be an attempt at copying something. Since your ski didn't quite make it over ALL the rocks like a quadski would have, you appeared to be attempting to imitate a quadski - and it was a damn good attempt!!

[JB]

Kevin, did you make more work for Joe?

[joe563]

i made more work for me i was hit twice in moto 2 cant believe pulled off a 9..at least the water was warm

Nice job Kevin. How bad did you mess up the bottom of your hull?

NO I actually eneded up riding the boat back to the trailer.

FYI middle linkage broke on Drop nozzle, causing early loss of handling then eventual steering jam(straight ahead) which got me on those rocks.

Thanks for the avatar, ( there are better pictures you know)

Hey Kevin,

YOU FORGOT TO PUT THE QUADSKI WHEELS DOWN!

HA! Ha! ha!

oh ya, would you rather the avatar is with a clear face pic?

[GB-GMAN]

All did great racing and all to be proud of. Yes, even Kevin. I have heard great things about Spenser and he did well against the other racers. I know the ones that he raced are all good racers and to finish in the middle is a tough chore itself, Congats!

Spenser if you are still 15 on Jan 1 you can still race junior all of next season. Corey Cole used it for him and Josh Block used it that way last year (07). I also think Brandon McMillan used it also in 2007.

[fox river pwc]

Well, either start taking it all apart now, like we've talked about, or make a new plan of action (with a different ski and a pile of $$$). Everything on that ski CAN be made right, but like I've been saying, first we'll/you'll have to undo all the crap that's been done to your SJ by schmucks. Don't get down about it now. Get motivated and get started. We can fix it. I have a killer set of tools :)...

[spence-r]

Thanks for the complements guys! it was the highlight of my summer by a longshot!

O and I turn 16 June 16th so if I read the rulebook right I can race junior and novice because I turn 16 during the season? It was confusing to read, kinda like the bible but I think thats right.

Now what to do over the long winter...
