I hope that maybe, just maybe we might finally see Team Aqua Mania and Team Mary Mac racing at St. Clair River Classic with Miss Geico. Come on guys bring those rigs down here to this part of the country and lets see some Turbine Class Racing.

Default Turbine "class"

The turbine "class" has never been a class.there are very few turbine race boats out there because of the expense of it and maintenance shadow.
The good news is that JBS racing is involved with a new prototype powerplant that will reliably produce more power than a turbine and will provide stability to high performance boating in general.details will become public as soon as possible.

Anyone ever seen a cutaway illustration of one of these Dyson fans? Essentially they utilize the same motor and impeller from the vacum cleaner, and put a housing and kring around it. I guess that makes it a pump, AKA jet...
