Canopy boats were allowed to be on plane. Never heard a speed but Callen got DQ'd on their last run one year for too fast through the start so they must have had a number in mind. I think they were going like 100 when they entered the box, LOL.

a lot faster. u could coast thru the start area fast and off the gas and then let it have it at the line. someone like KK that has done the even for years would have to explain all the changes over the years.
lake hav. was shorted 1/4 in length by mistake. but everyone was at the same length. just hard to compare year to year. kilo's are hard to put on, but when the correct equipment is used; it's very accurate. but, again there has been many years where the correct equipment was not used and they still called it official. and stop watches over a radio is far from it!
this is why the SALTON SEA KILO is such a great event that is growing! they goto great lengths to ensure accuracy!

Last year was 30mph - this year it's 40. They radar ya comin to the start boat and wave a yellow flag if your too fast - if you slow to 40 (this year) or below, they will wave you off with the green - if you do not slow, they will black flag your run and not give any speeds after the run.
Hope this is helpful ...

They should keep it at 30mph for us slow boats so there's more of an acceleration factor. JMO

Finish line / radar guns will not move. However, we will be running toward the bridge rather than away.
