With a field of 8 Unlimited, 9 Superboats, and 7 SuperVees there will be some exciting racing.

Where can the weeks racing schedule be found? Also, is this years racing going to be covered in another tv program like the awesome one that was done a couple years ago and shown on (I believe) fox sports.

What are the 7 SV's?

Really like that class and wish more people would build them as a 4-5 person cockpit boat so they could make their way into pleasure boats when retired.

The new short track in KW really turns the excitement level up a few notches.

Still wish they'd bring back factory classes. Best racing I'd ever seen!

I agree. Bottom tech rapidly improved in those years because the factories were involved and wanted to win.

It was relatively inexpensive, the boats actually had resale value and could double as pleasure boats. I feel like those factors made it very popular.

Let's face it, with the exception of Outerlimits continuously improving their bottoms, no other vee bottom builder has changed anything significant in over 15 years.

The proof was in the pudding so to speak. When you have a class of 25+ racers you know it's working. Then, for some reason people can only speculate over, the program was scrapped. The factory class not only. Thought more participation, it brought more spectators.
