Thread:

tech inspections

As many of you know I with the help of some great guys (kdub and the general) are putting together a 9 second TE boat that will compete in next years SDBA schedule. I would post pics but I don't think a pile of parts and materials would do it for you guys. Anyhow on to the subject at hand i am looking into all of the correct safty gear I will need as I would like to do it right and one time. Even though I will primarily run SDBA and SITC. We might get a wild hare a tow it to an NJBA race or SLDBA OR? I am not talking driver gear what I mean is the stuff for the boat. I have read thru the lucas rule book many times spoke with ken dollar and had an in depth conversation with BP298 (congrats on the win again Bob). But please forgive me I would like you racers take on this. I wan't to breeze thru tech where ever we might race. Thank you Scott King, This is a jet with a pop off


Ps is the suction piece, intake, bowl, ride plate cradle, HPH and diverter considered underwater gear or will crhoming it be ok.

Unless you are running a lenco you will need a driveline cover and flywheel cover. Battery cut off (with easy access from the side of the boat), kill switch (that pops off if you move any more than 18" in either direction), rope deflector there are a couple other necessities that I can't recall at this moment. IF I reatmember I wilt l edit my post, otherwise I am sure someone else will fill i n the blankvesn.

Oh no that thang was takin at a nhra event. 509 bbc good bracket deal

yea lenco drive line and posibbly there flex plate cover. Probly will still run one loop of of the pump brace.

Hey John do you see any reason to change from a`single pole
deflector to atwo pole deflector. I have heard a little talk about that latly

The racing organizations will have slight differences in requirements. As I have seen how most of the clubs are run, The NJBA has the least amount of changes, of requirements, to the boats, over the years. First read the rule book, and if you see something you need help with, let me know. I would be glad to help. Also, know that we welcome all out of state racers. I think we run a tight ship, without to much drama. I believe our jet boats are the finest in the country. Maybe you can bring our boys a little something? feel free to contact me anytime 707-864-0332 Joe

Thanks Joe, I have seen your boy's run and I don't have nothin for them right now! But the day may come. And I agree NJBA does have a nice program. Thanks Scott.
