Well....there will be no more P-Class's added....so 6 class's in a National Series is pretty good....there are over 65 P-class teams register in the U.S. for 2008

Only recognized Class By UIM, OSS and SBI/APBA is Stock OutBoard.
These boats are capable of up to 120MPH, and should hold their resale value well due to world wide racing!

again,


i follow the rules in my class and i love to do it.

So there is absolute NO truth in all of this thread.

And ownestly ,it does not hurt at all .what you guys are saying.
Because i do it for me and not for you.
So if you whant to watch me , fine . If not ,fine with me also.
If i race , yes i whant to win. If i race by my self ,i find out what i did wrong or right on my boat and still had fun.
The sponsors are happy ,i am happy , let it be.
I WAS THERE.
Yes ,would i love an old B-or A class. .....shure, will it happen again?.........probiply not, can i get hurt at 82 MPH ?,....yes.
Does it cost big$ ?, yes, ......that i don't have and still doing it because i love it.
So what are you all trying to say?,.......I should quit ,because you are not happy ?????????????

I think if you all would love the sport ,you should stop posting all this BS.
Good luck and thanks.

OH, and also i never said that i am a racer ,yet !
But if you think you can do better .............race your cig against me !?

Scott,
Your racing he's not. Don't let him get you upset. He tried and quit.
Enjoy and Good Luck.

Yeah really fair comparison my boat is 20 years old alot heavier layup im sure and 3 feet longer ....but Ill be willing to try it!
Why dont you take the money you spend running your boat all season against none and buy a boat for a class where there is competion like cat outboard or svl . then see how well you do!
