I looked at the SBI website and the Key West race results are not there ?


Did the OUTERLIMITS Super Vee Unlimited Championship get taken away ?

I just watched a video with Shogren's interview.

One of his most exciting moments in Key West was Outerlimits showing up with a surprise boat to run against Cat Killer.

When asked about the race he states "Fountain came out on top again".

On top ???

So did they in fact win the World Championship in Super Vee Unlimited ???

So why is Shogren stating they came out on top between OL and Cat Killer?

Overall of 3 Races:

Calculated points : Outerlimits Won

Faster Avg Speed Outerlimits Won

Most Distance Raced Outerlimits Won

Outerlimits is World Champion in Super Vee Unlimited

Now while looking at the speeds of the other 2 boats in SV Class 2, Why was there even a need for these boats to be split into two classes ?

obrien

apparently someone from one of the other boats was crying about having to race Cat killer and wanted to have the boats separate.

It would have made more sense to have the guys with the slower boats run in the P-Classes. But looking at the avg speeds they were not that far apart.

Rules are in place for boats to be built to spec and fit into a certain class.

Supposed to be anyway.....

SHARKEY-IMAGES

That just ain't right ......

2 Trick Rick

People building what ever they want and making another class.. Thats just what offshore racing needs. I cant wait till the day we have 48 boats at an event with only 1 boat pr. class.

Nigel registered for Super V Unlimited.
When we arrived in Key West we discovered that suddenly Super V Unlimited was now 2 classes.
What?

Class 1 with one boat: Cat Killer
Class 2 with the four other boats
WHAT!

Maybe someone should have look up what Unlimited means ...

We stated we were Class 1 and they couldn't disagree.
And they moved Rick Turmel's boat (kicking and screaming) up into Class 1 too.

Now we have
Class 1 with three boats: Cat Killer, Lucas Oil, and Rick Turmel
Class 2 with two boats: Hard Rock and Taboo
Whatever ...

In my opinion, creating 2 classes for 5 boats that are the same is silly (not to mention bad for the sport).

We ran according to the existing Super V Unlimited rules.
That new Unlimited class was created for the smaller unlimited boats and that is called “Class 2”.

Wahoo ATV

What a joke.
