Thats the negative to a one design class. All the boats are the same, so the only way to gain speed is max trim and make tightest and the fastest possible turn. If you are going to race boats like they are sprint cars they are going to behave like sprint cars. Better order some wings for down force.

Or run a bat boat. They come with wings. Not sure if it has only been driver error. Class 6 runs the same speeds and I can't remember a rollover.

Hold a class 6 wide open and try to turn it tight, see what happens. If you let off all in the p1 superstock class you will have a loss in your column. You don't have the power to make it up. That has been my experience anyway. Jeffrey McCann

If you think we "slow" down in turns your mistaken. our boat can and does handle 70mph turns wide open, if you let off even for a second your a boat behind...

I'm I saying we are better drivers than some of the p1 teams? Hell no.. Those guys have more races under there belts than multiple teams combined. So if its not the teams there is only one thing left ........
