Kev's FZR

[fox river pwc]

I rode Kevin's turd sandwich today...




















...wouldn't you like to know ;), moooohaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

[joe563]

did you break the steering cable...

[fox river pwc]

Naw, I just tweaked it a bit.

Should be fine for a few more laps :).

[Chopper]

This should be good... Did it come with Monster Macc Racing Decals?

[admin]

Sure did.

i lied it is just a sticker kit..

[ski hauler]

It has the wrong number on it

[RagingDiablo666]

I was thinking the same thing Ski Hauler... I will still be running my 666 on the new 15X ssshhhhh.

[Maulin Marto]

Sure did.

Did you buy that off of Chris? He was selling a bunch of stuff about 2 months ago after Havasu?

[Maulin Marto]

Looks like its going to get pretty competitive in the runabout class with you on a 15X Gong on a FZR.....makes you wonder what Bohat will be bringing? :eek:

Did you get your engine done at Zarny's? All done? :D

[fox river pwc]

So Kev, now that you've had a chance to race the new yami, how did it do on the holeshots in Kansas City?

[RXP85]

What class is that ski running in?

[gpr717]

Just ask Craig and Jerimiah

[RXP85]

Novice Limited Class?

[gpr717]

and stock too

[fox river pwc]

Just ask Craig and Jerimiah

Please confirm: Is your yami able to holeshot an X boat doing a dead-engine start?

:)

[RagingDiablo666]

Lets hear some details on the race...the pics can only tell soo much! Looked like Craig was pulling toward that first bouy...and Jeremiah was looking down with nothing running.

[Chopper]

dang, and I was always told that "a picture is worth a thousand words"

[admin]

my motor was running to lean and puked on my. I was able to get that fixed by the second moto. The RXP did out holeshot the FZR except one of the dead motor starts we were doing since there was not enough holders or maybe it was people were scared of the water down there.

[gpr717]

no not on a dead engine start due to diagnostic efi pree start ... on NORMAL START YESS..

[joe563]

oh on normal starts..... nice

[admin]

Normal starts with holders craig would kill the FZR. The one moto Kevin did win he started his junk then shut it off quickly before we did a dead motor start. Craig left his lanyard in to long and he had to pull it and then had to replug it in to fire it up.

Derek, you will have your hands full maybe with the FZR. I did manage to finish ahead of it on two of the four moto I raced against it. I had a tougher race with stock STX-R's.

[gpr717]

Wait and see.. Remeber we are friends here doing it for fun.. If you desire more that is what the national tour is for.

Have a nice day.

[admin]

I understand what you are saying, I just heard that you have been calling and textin everyone that you beat crag fair and square. We were all there to practice and get laps to prepare for the Racine race. I raced my ass off and gave you a hard time on the track. I made my mistakes this last weekend as did you. I hope I was able to push you to be a better rider on your FZR because you made me a better rider to keep up and stay ahead of you when I was. We all worked together this last weekend and we made a good showing to the other riders from region 9. Take what you learned and apply that to the future races. Not trying to bust balls just expose the truth.

[admin]

Sorry if I referred to your FZR as junk. That is just something that I picked up from Joe. Everything I own now is junk, thanks Joe.

[Chopper]

Junk = anything that takes doing the same thing 4 times to get one thing done... Junk

[joe563]

sounds like there are some issues brewin...I am just glad to help... junk= anything ...you may also use scrap

[RXP85]

Very nice, looking forward to racing this season and to hopefully get some helpful hints as this will be my first full season of racing since last year was my first time ever and only raced 3 times, can't wait!!

[joe563]

if you need anything give me a call.. 262-308-3196

[Chopper]

if you need anything give me a call.. 262-308-3196

I'm looking for Midgets, you know where I can find some Midgets?

[RXP85]

Thanks Joe!!

Chopper, go to Vegas for midgets, I was told they all hang there!

[fox river pwc]

Derek, you will have your hands full maybe with the FZR. I did manage to finish ahead of it on two of the four moto I raced against it. I had a tougher race with stock STX-R's.

Oh snap!!!!!!

[fox river pwc]

Sounds like we need to change the term "runabout racing" to "HOLESHOTTING" instead. :)

Doh!!

[joe563]

its the sad truth..also in kevins defence(i wasnt there,didnt see it ) but i am sure they ran more than one lap so ,he did do good to keep him behind him for the whole race.... I will see what wee man is up to,but little kato is cooler..

[RXP85]

Are you guys trying to scare me? Haha

[joe563]

What year is your boat??....06?? I will help you put in a wheel..might have a ecu,but its for a 04-5

[admin]

There was a guy running the novice limited class out there with and RXP like joes yellow one that was very competitive. not sure what was all done to his but it was fast.

[RXP85]

Joe, I have the 07 RXP.

I gained 3hp on my ski by putting new bars on for this season, since the very first thing Kevin said to me last season was why would you ever race with stock bars on haha!! So I just spilled my secret on my upgrades for this season, so we will see if it can keep up with his new ski haha.

[joe563]

Wheel baby... you already have the exhaust, dont have an ecu so that sucks but les cook reprograms them for about 650

[RXP85]

Thanks for the tip Joe, I really apprecieate it! I'll keep in touch with you about that, I have to see if my wallet can help me out a little haha.

[Chopper]

Throw a Midget under the seat...

[joe563]

A midget on a wheel.... I heard you can gain big hp with that, midget pending...

[RXP85]

Hmm I will look into that! I don't know that they run that fast though?

[Chopper]

They have short legs so they can spool up the turbo really quick...

[RXP85]

But will the beable to last the entire race?

[admin]

Hope you have monster as a sponsor. Or maybe red bull.
But will the beable to last the entire race?

[Chopper]

But will the beable to last the entire race?

Probably, Like "Admin" said you'll need a bunch of energy drinks to feed that little sucker. Monster works, Full Throttle is better, and NOS is the best. Besure to feed him some Rockstar at the end of the day and he'll get all the ladies for you at the bar!

[RagingDiablo666]

I just read the IJSBA rules...changing the bars on a boat makes it a Limited Only boat, have to run stock bars in stock class... Am I reading that wrong? Must also have stock inter cooler as well...

[Chopper]

6.2.9 Handlebar, throttle, throttle cable, and grips may be modified or aftermarket. Handlebar cover may be modified or
removed. Aftermarket switches and switch housings may be used. Steering shaft, steering shaft holder and handlebar
holder may be aftermarket. The handlebar must be padded at the mounting bracket or, if it has a crossbar, the crossbar
must be padded. Quick-turn steering modifications to alter steering ratio are allowed. Aftermarket steering cables will be
allowed.


6.4.5 Cooling system may be modified or aftermarket. Aftermarket cooling lines and water bypass systems may be used.
Additional cooling supply lines and fittings may be added to the pump. Fittings may not be added to the cylinder head,
cylinder, or crankcase. Existing fittings to the cylinder head, cylinder, and crankcase may be aftermarket so long as they
do not provide additional volume. Bypass fittings may be modified, aftermarket and/or relocated but must be directed
downward and/or rearward so as not to create a hazard for other riders. Any valves used within the entire cooling system
must be of the fixed type or automatic (e.g., thermostats, pressure regulators, etc.). Electronically controlled water
injections systems are not allowed unless originally equipped. Manually controlled devices (by any means of actuation)
that alter the flow of cooling water during operation are not allowed. Additional fittings/enlarged fittings may be added to
the intercooler so long as the intercooler volume is not changed. Cooling system flush kits are allowed.


6.9.1 Modifications to any part of the turbocharger or supercharger system (i.e., housing, turbines, rotors, sensors, ducting, etc.)
are not allowed.

Copied and pasted right from the rules... There is nothing about midgets or energy drinks so they are legal

6.4.9 (Runabout Only) A stop valve may be affixed to the intercooler supply line in order to prevent surges which might cause
damage to the intercooler.

[RagingDiablo666]

This is different than than 09 book I have. Can you send a link please, thanks

[Chopper]

www.ijsba.com (http://www.ijsba.com)

The 2010 rule book is posted there on line. I can promise you that the handle bar rules have been the same for years. I don't about the intercooler stuff though as that is a rather new area of the sport.

[RXP85]

Are they saying if an aftermarket intercooler is added you have to run in limited class?

[admin]

aftermarket intercooler would be for limited and open class only. Are you not limited already?

[RXP85]

Yes I'm limited now as my ski sits even with my stock intercooler still.

[RagingDiablo666]

Was looking at an aftermarket intercooler but would only be able to run limited, not stock.

[RagingDiablo666]

To the guys who got new machines for the year...make sure you have your proper registration numbers on the hull...tech in Racine will be by the book I am sure...

[spence-r]

you dont need registration numbers? Or a fire extinguisher? You are exempt from those laws if you stay in the race course area...

[fox river pwc]

I think he means HINs, or at least that's what he should mean - rules require that the hull has a HIN tag...

[JE513]

To the guys who got new machines for the year...make sure you have your proper registration numbers on the hull...tech in Racine will be by the book I am sure...

Make sure your spoonsons are extra tight too.

[RagingDiablo666]

Yes that is what I meant...in the rule book that all competing RA have Hull Identification, and be up to date. Not sure if you have to have a fire extinguisher or not.

[fox river pwc]

I don't recall ever reading in either rule book that race skis had to actually be registered, just that they had to have HINs. You certainly don't have to carry your fire extinguisher while racing. I can't think of reasons why registering a race ski would be important, but I can think of several reasons why HINs matter:
1) Many teams/racers may have identical-looking skis where 1 is stock, 1 limited, and 1 open. The HIN may be the only sure/easy way to keep track of which ski is which, in case someone tries to pull a switcheroo on their way to tech. (I've heard some stories about people cheating this way - even from the actual cheater himself.) Yes, registration could help in this as well, but not necessarily on skis where hoods can be swapped or when reg. #s could be duplicate/phony. The HIN is just the most "permanent" way to ID a particular ski.
2) The HIN identifies the year of the ski, which matters in some classes.
3) I'd assume the racing organizations don't want to be known as a safe-haven for stolen skis, so requiring the HIN helps to prevent that - or at least appear that it helps that.

[spence-r]

my bad I thought you meant registration numbers like WS 43253 or whatever

[Chopper]

I have never seen a HIN Number checked at the World Finals... I highly doubt that a HIN Number will be checked in Racine. I have not had a HIN number on my hull in years, it broke off long ago. The IJSBA has their own little sticker with a number on it, that sticker needs to match the boat it was assigned to / proper class it's raced in at tech. If those stickers are used, they will provide the racer with one at the safety inspection.

[RagingDiablo666]

WOW...everyone jumped on me like I was on fire... Remember, this race is on Lake Michigan, not some inland lake. The sheriffs Dept will be out checking everyone out, trust me, I talk to them every week I am down there.
Page 73 19.1.5 Make sure Hull Identification Number (HIN) is displayed.
page 74 19.4.6 All watercraft may..they will..be required to meet respective local boating laws(i.e, current registration displayed on craft, fire extinguisher on board ect...

Little more on 19.1.8

I was just trying to be nice and let the guys that have new boats know...that they should double check to make sure they are legal for Lake Michigan...

[joe563]

Being a closed course you dont need a fire ex. or reg numbers... you need and i have been checked for hin.. it is because you can front date parts not back date... until this year at least... that is why on the xpl's its so important that you have a 98.. first year... then you can take the best parts of the other boats and make them move out.... for the newer boats i dont think it matters they are all the same for the most part.... or are they hummmmmm bitches

[joe563]

thinking i better put the battery in my junk one of these days...

I don't think anybody was jumping. I've just never heard of or experienced a race where registrations were checked or cops were writing tickets to racers. I know a racer who got hassled (and DQ'd) at an APBA nat'l race last year (partly) for having the HIN off his 95 SN stuck on his 09 SJ hull, and I've heard about what chopper mentioned, where they'll assign a sort of HIN tag to a ski for race purposes. If the cops are telling you that they seriously plan to check racers and issue tickets at Racine, well, that will certainly make for an interesting situation - and probably cause another 15 year drought for nat'l races in this area...

[Chopper]

Typcially the coast guard is good about races and events on the water with the proper permits, which are needed to host the event in the first place. I would not worry. But if someone is obviously acting like a fool away from the race course there would probably be some issues (as there would be anyhow race or no race). We did race at this exact site in 2004 and there were no issues besides the waves that pushed the course into shore over night and the hoodrats trying to get into peoples trailers... Based on my previous experience, Racine was nice at the beach but a block or two off the beach there was some ghetto crap going down. I'd lock stuff up there. It'll be a great event regardless. Someone needs to win the money and keep that crap here in WI!

[fox river pwc]

thinking i better put the battery in my junk one of these days...

Certainly, as potential buyers will pay more if they can hear it run first...

[motochuck]

When a promoter or sanctioning body fills out permit application to hold a PWC Racing event, the permit exempts the area of operation (the race course and warm up area) from ALL regular boating laws. Reg, Db's, no wake, ect..ect.. So you do not have to worry about the man when you are in the race area on the event days. But step out side said parameters' and you are fodder for a ticket writing fest from Johnny Law.

[Stl Ultra 222]

Oooffff.....Rough house in here!

I know how the fzr runs. It blew by me like I was standing still going into the first turn in the last moto in Racine. Troy Snyder also won the R/A Pro stock class on it. I'd say it runs pretty good. Now Kevin on the other hand....lol! Just kidding bud. You ran good in the last moto. I thought Snyder was riding it instead of you!
