Ford drag boat guy !! texas too !! lol

Im new to this site, just moved here from to austin tx from california. looking forward to racing with the sdba here in texas. I run a 1200hp Boss 429 punched out to 500ci in a 300lb jet boat. I cant get enough, love it. looking to build a drag car at some point this year too, to run the local drag strips.

Hi Rob,





There's a few of us on here,

Hey Rob,
Welcome to the site.

JG

welcome!

nice boat, I dig the hydro looks good !!! heres my pile !!!

Nice Robb

welcome to the forum. im sure ill see you at the sdba races. My buddy races the nf2 promod in sdba.i have nevsr seen such a great group of class act racers. And im impressed with cutting a light swinging and swaying off a rope linw

i'd like to have Robb's engine for the F'Lane

What kind of ET and mph you getting out of that thing?

Hey buddy !!! It ran 8.40 at 127mph with the last setup, but the carbs were in left field. the motor got a full aviad dry sump, so after the dyno this winter we should be knocking on the High 7 second or low 8 seconds. Cant wait till march !!!

time for a capsule

njba is 145mph and above needs capsule so were good. Sdba is 7.70 et needs capsule. all the blown and nitrous guys are right at those numbers trying to stay under !!

sweet set up ...welcome to the site ... we need more boat racers around here

The 1st and 2nd boats in the line up are some of our stuff..........1989-1990.

I know that first one! Now was the second boat the one that held the PGJ record for awhile?

Hey Lem, you still got that nice video that was made of your Daytona? I seen it awhile back but can't remember where, if you have it could you post it up somewhere? Thanks

Very nice!

Thanks guys !!! that is a really cool pic of the boats on the rope !!! I dont know if anyone is familiar with a guy named Rick Green out of Pomona,ca. but he is the Ford guy i grew up around and I bought the boat and motor from. when i bought it all, it was at 750hp ive just took the ball and ran with it....

Looks like it might be a A460 headed motor with a Holmes TR that used to be in your boat, but thats just a guess from how tall the TR looks.

That was what Rick ran before he finished the boss motor !! they had a stable full of ford motors. He was a big ford guy.

Wow, Lem, I didn't know that "Quick & Easy" was in the family for so long.

Here's a clip of a pass when it had the 665 cubic inch combo in it, running in the 9's with a throttle stop. This clip has audio. Click HERE.
