Pro-Am P-Class 1 - 6 12 Class's Thats just too much . Each race would need the quantity and quality of OPA's best site , Popra's best site ,and Sbi's best site . i don't see it . I could be wrong . It happens a lot . however less classes in a pro-series , and the more the merrier in the " PRODUCTION " - 100-600 SERIES . The whole dream ? really comes down to just,......... who runs what where ,when ? Cant all race at the same site every time . |

I would like to see a Superstock Cat Light were the older cats or smaller cats could run with 200hp mercs. I would also like to see as a racer a course with right and left hand turns if possible. |
P-Class runs on Sat 3 races....
1st race Class 5 and 6 2nd race Class 3 and 4 3rd race Class 1 and 2 Sundays race 1st race SS and SVL (Cat and vee class runnning easy to tell whos winning) 2nd race SV and SC ( A cat class and a vee class running at the same time...easy to tell whos winning in each class) 3rd race Vee Unlimited and Cat Unlimited ( a cat class and vee class running easy to tell whos winning) We can never get rid of our open cockpit boats....they make up more then half of all race boats..... SS should remain a class SVL has 7 to 10 boats out there racing.... SC between 750's and 850's there are 8 to 10 boats... Cat Unlimited ( beween turbine and piston there are 7+ boats) Vee Unlimited ( there will be around 4 to 6 boats next year) The reason I say no hull changes...look at what Reggie has done to SV...ever boat he built he made changes to it to make it faster and made the rest obsolete....now look at Factory race in 2000...you could race a new boat or a 4 year old boat and it was the same hull...each running the same speed... You need to really look at this power to weight ratio thing...we took 7 vee hulls and ran the numbers....they don't match up even close...the older boats speed can not match the speed of todays boats.... |

Another thing that would be nice would be a true entry level class. Maybe Make it a trophy only class with a much cheaper yearly sign up fee, like $250 for any 2 races and 400 for the year. Really try and reach out to the guy with the 25 Baja, 28 Sunsation and so on, maybe even rent GPS units to help keep there cost down.. try to get them hooked!! |
Is a saturday sunday race format do,able at each site ?
In order to keep a true fan base ,YOU have to show up at every site ,every time . Will youre format cover this ? This thread is about " in a perfect world " which I assume means " mine or youres " .In that context are my questions and views . |
Offshore racing is progressively boring after the first lap. AND I'm a racer. Do you think a fan would rather see a P5 boat vs. a Cat going 150+...PRO-SERIES PREREQUISITE, 1 Question only: Can you market that class globally?
P5=NO...SuperCat=YES...P5=local class...SuperCat=PRO-SERIES... More racing w/less classes. Pracitce ,qualifying, heat races, finials. ALL effect race position for the next. |

In 2000 the 24 Baja Outlaw raced in F1....and today could race in Class 6 if they wanted to give it a shot...and a 28 Sunsation use to race in P-5 in APBA in 2002....so today they could run in Class 5....you could do a try out period...1st race is $200 to race...if you return your $200 gose to your equipment fees and you then pay the balance..... |

Yes Gino,
Yes nice, That could also work next season for joint races. I understand most sites want 2 days of racing. |

Maybe another way to keep races interesting is shorten the length so the boats dont have time to break away from each other. Than run a 2 race format like OSS (I think it was OSS) did this summer with the SVL. |
