Jolly Rogers #907

Can you hear the loss of power and RPM drop when we flung our vacuum pump belt off? Final run of the 2026 season. Watch til the end for some surprise behind the scenes JRR shenanigans

We just wrapped up our 8th and final race of the season. This is only our 2nd race in this boat as we competed most of the season in the #907 unlimited boat. We were working two significant issues all day. We had a new baseplate under our air cleaner and it took us most of the day to figure out our throttle linkage was binding against that plate in high G corners(I thought it was the cable itself). It’s always a bad feeling when you go to lift and nothing happens! The other issue was our vacuum pump belt kept coming off. In fact, this run, the 6-cut, was the only one it stayed on. Our vacuum pump adds about 10-12 horsepower and you can absolutely feel the difference when the belt comes off! Unfortunately it slipped in the final run when I pushed the hardest and we actually lost time compared to this run. The team was amazing all day and never stopped trying to sort out these issues, I owe them everything! Already planning and plotting our course for next season. Hint…it won’t be this motor that’s for sure 😆. Huge congratulations to Dustin Springer for P2 in the unlimited class.

Q1 times. Coming from #907 it feels slow but we’re ok so far. Waiting for the big dogs to pounce.

It’s been a long summer. 8 rounds of racing. It’s time to send it hard and put this season to an end. Running boat #18 in the Group A class. We gotta close the gap to the front runners before going into our winter upgrades. Here’s the link to the livestream, click to watch the days racing!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

If you’re in Lewiston for the races…I highly recommend stopping by Hot Shots Espresso for a quick bite and amazing food! You won’t regret it and you get to support a fellow racer!

I always feel like it’s been a good strategy when my times get better every run. This was the final qualifier on day 2 and we ripped our fastest time of the weekend, and one of only 2 boats to bring it in under 40 seconds. We ran a 39.846. Unfortunately I got off line in one of the chicanes in the finals and lost time, coming in with a 40.0. I was disappointed in that final run because I know we had at least a 38 in the boat, I just failed to extract it.

Simple hack for dealing with super-messy adhesives.

Made new bushings for the Sprintec sheet metal bucket, a bracket for the actuator and finally glued and screwed the Southern Jet LTD 8.5” race pump in. Tomorrow is rigging.
