Next year you will have 3 OPA races in your back yard. More boats to race against. 15 boats in Class 5 is normal. No entry fees, $750 annual registration fee. Race with at least 8 Michigan Teams. Finally, P Class racing will always be around.
I also have a bat boat for sale with a Merc 337 Scorpion and Bravo One on an Aluminum Myco Trailer for sale at a great price. Perfect Class 5 or 6 boat. Fast, small enough to put in your Garage and safe enough to run with your wife. You could have the whole thing for the price of just the power in a Vee Lite. |
just to clarify, there is no p class in oss, if they race together, its under opa, popra or sbi/apba (well maybe not :drink:)
and a svl in p class would be a p4 or 3 boat, and i believe octane won in st clair p4... svl or superstock would be the two best boats... do you want a vee or a cat? |

The Bat Boat IS NOT legal for SVL. Years ago the hulls proved to be TOO GOOD to compete against V hulls.
Talk to Seroff about his Phantom race boat for sale. A Canopied 30' Phantom would NEVER be legal in P 5 class as I understand it. |

The Bat boats are illegale due to a "wing" which provides lift.
