It would be great if you were not forced to run that motor.

I think Class 1 is looking for something to enhance their events as P1 seems to be challenging their status as the premier racing series in Europe.

Depending on how you look at it it's either fortunate or unfortunate that Mercury has gotten involved but I don't believe Class 1 will walk away from the publicity and money that Mercury can bring to the table.

Normally when a manufacurer gets an exclusive the racer does not have to pay for the product, it is part of the sposorship agreement. IROC.

By the way IROC died this year. Great close racing though. Big wrecks.

Just remember you are the billboard did you get paid? Or are you paying?

Class 1 needs a support series not IROC.

P1 is a good set-up. Modified and stock.

Pro vee can mimick that and keep it interesting.

The boat with trailer must fit in 40' Container!! With 850 motors, and very light minimum weight. Damn, a 38 Fountain canopy would outrun the Class 1 boats in flat water!!!!
P1 is a phenomenal series!!!

Ouch. I paid less for my entire boat. We put 750's in the 38 Fountain,at 130 mph. I couldn't imagine 850's. Gonna need a Glass man.

The pro vee is a single engine class. They have been runnning it for a while with seateks and gas motors in Buzzi hulls and cougars ect... up to 32 ft.

The only change is the motor restriction.
