TURBINE CLASS - TO BE ELIMINATED
Key West, Fl - 05/08/2006 Due to lack of participation, if SBIP/APBA Offshore does not have any Turbines racing in the Marathon, FL race May 19, 20, & 21, the Class will be eliminated....

Re: turbine class
 

Due to demand (from AMF) OSSTX was created at OSS. Callan might swap pistons for turbines also.

Re: turbine class
 

Those guy's (Callan) were instrumental with regard's to "late model" turbine racing.

It will be very exciting to run with them. AMF is rigging the MTI turbine boat now which will join the fleet soon.

could peppers turn turbine? you never know!!!!

Re: turbine class
 

I wonder what other classes could be eliminated due to lack of participation? Maybe this is just a jab at John Haggin and the AMF teams that have chosen to participate in other venues. Seems a little childish to me.

Re: turbine class
 

yep

Re: turbine class
 

I just put up the latest news from both sites!!

Re: turbine class
 

Actually we have had a number of high profile teams inquire abot retrofitiing their boats to run Turbines. Even turned down to 1100 or 1300hp a 36 or 38 40 44 46skater ormti is capable of extreme speeds add 1000+ hour rebuilds in a race environment...why wouldnt a serious player consider them. I'll give you one more thing to think about..

1.8 G's nonstop through 170+mph.

As for negativity. The AMF team is a positive team...we'll work hard to keep it that way. Big Smile :D

Wonder if this comes from the same guy that charged teams a fee to fly there own helicopters ?

Re: turbine class
 

:d !!! Big Smile !!! :d

Re: turbine class
 

Is this something "NEW" in 2006 ? :confused:

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think SUPER VEE UNLIMTED had zero participation from January thru October in the 2005 season ...

Not to start that up all over again, but I was just curious if that is something new this year for all the classes? :confused:

Personally, If any organization has a class that can't sustain a 3 boat minimum for the season, it should be cut from the line up, but at the end of the season...

Re: turbine class
 

Am I reading Post #5 correctly?
Somebody is actually slamming John Haggin?
Ridiculous!

Re: turbine class
 

You might want to ask Brian about that he posted it ...

Re: turbine class
 

John Haggin Rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: turbine class
 

RWL...Brian is reffering to SBI taking a jab at John Haggin......not Brian taking a jab. Thats how I read it.

Re: turbine class
 

I think you read it wrong. I love the guy and am a proud member of the AMF Team. Big Smile :D

Re: turbine class
 

Now that's an idea! You could rig it any way you want!

Re: turbine class
 

On the racecourse and on the dancefloor! First rate all around. Glad to have you! But heard Muscle will bring fresh troops to FTM, watch out!

Re: turbine class
 

My apologies.

Re: turbine class
 

i do believe haggin has been out recruiting as well!!!!

Re: turbine class
 

cool mark. coming w/o gf this weekend
mike

Re: turbine class
 

Ok, the dancefloor action will be graded this time.

Re: turbine class
 

at an acceleration rate of 3.2 g's or 103.04 feet per second squared you would reach 170 miles per hour or 249.33 feet per second in about 2.419 seconds, pretty impressive for a boat.... :eek: is my math wrong or is there something wrong with that statement?

Re: turbine class
 

It came off our telemetry, it was probably a glitch, the rest were 1.8 in the front strait
We realized our telemetry system has a few issues we are working out

Re: turbine class
