Sean I was agreeing with him on needing more boats in a class. But with cities losing so much money the first thing cut will be us, hints Dania, Deerfield, and Panama City. A series that is holding onto the events that are on their schedule in this economy should be thankful.

A lot of work is ongoing to Fury to make it handle better in rough water, if we had made LOTO then we could not have got the work done for KW.

What has also hurt this year is the uncertain race schedule too, lets hope we can stick together and make it happen next year.

How much weight would the 850s have to load up to make it competitive?

they are actually pretty close now...the real problem is the same thing we have said from the beginning . the motor is impossible to tech. with Mercury exiting its now even tougher.
Computers should not be used on race engines for that reason. A sharp guy could really have some fun with those things..and its been done...

tony, just for the reason you stated below is exactly why most sanctioned racing bodies dont allow computers or even more common electrictronic controlled fuel injection. and you deffinatenly cant have an engine supplier being the tech inspector. even worse when the same engine supplier/ tech people are maintaining one or two of the boats out of the field. you'll never have the perception of a level playing field.

the 750 and 850 can easily be put together along with the one or two piston extreme boats. the problem is they would have to want to race each other first.

JEM- i cant really see making the 750 and 850's any slower or slowing them up enough to compete with the 525's. and i don't see how you can take a 525 that rev's to 5400 rpm and make it even come close to the 750's.

next- i never saw racing better than when apba llc had supercat. fact - that was the biggest field of cats, all in one class that has ever raced here in the US that i can remember.

ok tony, i also wanted to get this straight - class one's QATAR TEAM is going to be in key west this year racing?

is this a known fact? which boats are they bringing? C1 boats, X-cats or both? have they made a press release about?
