New Shootout Rules take 2
 

Looking at the new shootout rules, seems they are gonna tighten things up a bit.

They must have taken some serious blowback from last years Budwieser blowout

NEW RULES FOR SHOOTOUT

any thoughts...?....Are we happy yet...?

Deck Boat:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Pontoon Boat:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

This just in..........A "dock" (entered in thedeck boat class) driven by I.B. Insane just took the coveted Top gun award...in second was Callan Marine...

In the interview that followed his pass....

I.B said "Yep, I just took the blower motors outta mu tractors and bolted 'em to mu fishin' dock and then welded that there rutter and I wuz off and runnin'. Yeeee Doggy was that fun!"

Even Bernie Little's money won't get Miss Bud around that:)

what's up with the no open exhaust? Is that a problem up there now for boaters?

I can see it Now Miss bud on a float on trailer ha :D

Jeff,
No big deal on the exhaust. The WP just ignores the noise regulations around the shootout area that weekend.
They just dont want the louder race boats running around the whole lake without mufflers.
Gary

what do you guys with 700 or more hp do? Glad we found out about the noise police there before we ever made another trip out there.

Jeff,
They're not that strict for recreational boaters. Trust me, there are a lot of twin engine boats with over 700hp/side.
You just dont want to flaunt it too much while you're passing the water patrol or running around at 1:00AM.
Gary

I thought they could just have a rule that the boat must seat at least two people, regardless of hull type. I don't think there are any two seat hydro's or drag boats out there. Someone would probably build one though.

This should be a good thing for the shootout. Maybe draw more boats.

They also need to require all boats to start in the starting box. Last time I ran in the shootout several of the large boats had a running start and where up on plan running through the box.

Looks like #5 and #20
will make it kind of difficult for
the Busch clan :D :D

All you need is a crane that is at a different/close marina and then tow it over.

:D :D :D



I was thinking the same thing.


Who has the popcorn???? We could be here a while:p

I would go there, but I dont want to make the Callan boat feel bad for being slower than a little baja with a 6 cylinder..... :D

The'll loose that WOW factor
if they can't crane in at Shooters:D :D

======================

A four (4) seat unlimited hydro is already built and running. It will be used for marketing to bring more sponsors into the Unlimited Hydro world.
It is the U-4 it was built by and is driven by Mark Evans.

Well there ya go! I knew it had to be too simple!
