Yes...and it is fun


All you need is a helmet, 100 mph impact rated life jacket
and pass their safety inspection ( kill switch working, etc)
and your good to go

Is the cable steering going to be a problem?

No.

Cool! I may be up for this then. Thanks for the info JT.

I've been wanting a Lifeline jacket anyway; here's my excuse.

Looking forward to it! Emilsr, unless you just want to buy a 5-700 jacket... there are some legal ones available for under 100 bucks. Mustang makes one...

It was a challenge... van/come along at rear man door. Truck/trailer backed in as far as poss. Floor/bottle jack/blocks and 2 furnature dollys and a full afternoon. 8 foot door and 8 foot beam+ rub rail. I had to remove all wood from the door frame then chissel some block away for clearance.

Took me 2 bottles of wine

I might be a redneck...

[Underdog88]

... but I know I'm a Hillbilly!

It was a challange but well worth it to be able to work all winter in my lil ol garage in a t shirt.

Now I gotta figure out how to get it out soon.

Can a guy just show up, pay the entry fee and run? I might be the slowest boat there, but looks like fun.

Just do it, like JT said, it is a lot of fun being a wanna be for a day or two.

I thought I was the only redneck redneck enough to do this.

I just signed up and paid my fee for 2 runs. Helmet is at the ready but I still need to get a proper PFD.

Hopefully I can at least break through the 60mph "barrier". In the immortal words of Alan Shepherd: "Please God don't let me f-up."
