lets talk racing. What do you guys do to 'Race prep' your boats?

The real question is what are you doing to prep yours for March? While you were getting it ready to race we saw daily progress pics. Now nothing, youve been awful quiet lately Rick, new race setup?

[Brad @ SCJB]

I JB Weld the holes in my block.

Pre race prep list : (Some I dont do but should)

Slack off till the day before . Then in a hurry , go out and buy oil , plugs , gas .

Check timing . Adjust valves . Fire it up only to find out it sounds like shit and I've done something horribly wrong .

On one race weekend . I hadnt recieved my new intake until the last second and there I was friday afternoon swapping out intakes . Of course timing was way off as were my vavles and because of all the kaos I put myself through nothing else was done .

The turn fin was another story .

This time , I'm tearing the pump down and I'm some NASA typ top secret shit done   So stay tuned mother fukers

I don't race boats yet, but when I raced trucks there was the guys like Beerjet and the guys like me.  We would have the truck ready to go the weekend before, then I would start thinking up changes to make it "better" and find myself scrambling to finish as we were leaving for the track.  All racers end up being like Beerjet

hehehe...well I'm not making many changes to the boat at this time. I am changing some engine parts such as cam and springs. I also have a new MPD loader to try. Other than that I would like to massage and rework my water entry in front of the pump. Oh, and there will be a different driver.

[lilrick]

Before I put the boat on the water, I usually look for anything that has worked itself loose. I re-tighten or check all of the bolts holding the engine in the boat. I obviously check the oil for proper level and look for glittery pieces. I also look for cracks in the hull and or any damage to the intake or the sorrounding areas. I also like to give the steering a once over to make sure it's gonna work.   And now since Ming, I also look for weeds stuck in the pump.
