umpba 1/4 mile drag race Jewell IA
We have our first race of the season coming up on June 11th. I would like to invite anyone that would like to race or watch to come on out. It's free to come and watch and it's cheap to come and race. There will be a beer garden, 3 bands and a 200 car car show all going on Saturday. Friday night is registration and a street dance in the town of Jewell.
We are going to run qualifying passes starting at 8 am on Sat. so if you are unsure of what class you would race in this will give you a chance to make sure your in the right class.
For more info reply here or feel free to PM or call me at 952-292-8884

Re: umpba 1/4 mile drag race Jewell IA
I'm getting excited to dust the cobwebs off. I had the viper out last weekend for about 15 min and it ran fairly good but i forgot to add methanol so I couldn't test the nitrous, my pickup tube came lose last fall. I hope to do some testing this weekend and get a little more seat time so I know I can drive the dang thing.
As far as I know all the campsites are full at the lake but I talked to some guys and we agreed that we can make room for anyone that wants to come out and race. Just let me know if you are coming so we can plan ahead.

Re: umpba 1/4 mile drag race Jewell IA
I really wish I could make it but work and the little guy are going to be a no go for me but I will be at Hanska and will have the little one with me im sure. And video camera in hand.
Chet, I am going to talk to my neighbor to and see if I can maybe drag her with to do some pictures as she is just getting into photography and want to build up her portfolio and would love to take some pictures im sure.
Make sure to get some good video and mount that GoPro up on the cowl or something so we can get some good action footage.

Well its go time. I'm packed and will be leaving work at noon. I might be changing reed blocks due to.a possible crack in the block but the Chris Carson reeds look great. A little plug there. Hope any of you guys out there.

Re: umpba 1/4 mile drag race Jewell IA
Well the first on is in the books. It went fairly well, a little disorganized at times but we tried some new things and with basically 4 of us club members trying to put on a show in a new venue what can you expect. The boat turn out wasn't up to where we were told it would be but there were enough and everyone had a good time. I was busy working on the motor until 12:30 Friday night and back at it at 6 in the morning. From there on I was running all day so I didn't get time to take pictures. I did mount the go pro to the cowl but went to grab it after the the race and it was gone. I guess the lake gods received my offering of the year.
My motor and nitrous system worked great but I have a problem with my trim system that would only allow me to use the bottom 1/3 of the trim range so I could not get the bow off the water. I would take the hole shot and 1/8 mile but the drag was to much and got ran down on the big end.
Winners were
Geoff Ericson Liberator with 300x "heavy and slow take off" won the 75mph class
I won the 85 mph class without nitrous.
Jerry Leanards in his wicked fast viper with a 245 with some work done beat me in the final in the 95mph class
Bob Albee in a DR20 took the 115 class.
