Sounds like there was some awesome racing!! and the pics tell the story.

and where the hell were you??:angry-smiley-044:

Hey Goldberg!
I am in Panama, sitting in the business center of my hotel! I get back later this week! other wise I would have been there!
It looked like good water conditions! I had a feeling Amsoil would take SCL. talk to you when I get home!

Congratulations to all the winners!

What a race between Amsoil and Motley Crew!!!! Motley Crew has been chasing after Amsoil since St. Clair when Amsoil took St Clair checkered flag while MC took second.

I would love to see Amsoil and Motley Crew race each other during race for the next couple races! It sould be fun and very adventure!!!


I thought Budweiser Select wanted a rematch with Miss Geico?
Dave Scott's new boat looked awesome! I hope Dave will bring his new boat to St. Clair to race against Miss Geico as a rematch in July 2008!!!!!!

Chris

roger that

Miss Geico pulls off the fastest average speed over all this weekend with an average of 98.2mph.

I guess it was little bumpy..... :D :D :D

Good job Tony,Mark and the JD Byrider crew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:boat: 2 for 2 this weekend:D
Hope Tom and Steve are ok after the roll over.

pat W

bumpy was an understatement:D

I see that the Cat Outboards were running on Sat in Class 3. What was the class max speed? The same as OPA, 95mph?

looked like fun

Shame, Typhoon and the other SVL's decided to split up so we could all recieve purse money. The start and race was all at the same time and was a lot of fun. The money that our team TYPHOON with its 1st place and 3rd place was donated to a new fund that will help rescue people in need. One of our own divers is in need and TYPHOON thought the money would help. TYPHOON donated close to $3500 to this fund. I also know Steve Page gave his firts place chech as well.
SO before you come on here and Slam teams that race you should find out there motive. Being out of the loop doesnt mean you should make ignorante remarks in public. We thought it was the right thing to do!!!!!

popra does an average lap speed.

Vinny,

Average lap speed is very flawed. We've ask POPRA to change to using all 3 methods to place boats in the proper class. Those would be mathematical speed calc, test ride, and known speed of the boat (previous kilo runs). We have also ask the rules be modified to eliminate the use of rev limiters and smaller props to get a boat into a lower class. Also on the list is sealed GPS units. OPA seems to have a pretty good system when it is implemented in its entirety.

Jim

Because the additional torque of a higher HP engine will allow a boat to pick up 3-4 seconds per turn. 8 laps x 4 turns = 2 to 3 minutes for the race.

Of course we can go back to the days of checkbook racing and run 1100 HP blower motors in P5. Then the guy with the biggest checkbook wins.

Jim

or a 750hp motor in P6!!!!!! oh wait they do that already......

Its not about average lap time. Its about top speed of your boat which has a direct correlation of weight to HP when like hulls (V' bottoms for example) are compared.

A better turning hull may give you a very small advantage, but this advantage is nothing when compared to additional torque and HP. An experienced team can often overcome these small advantages.

The system is not perfect. Its sportsmans racing. If you put similar performing boats together, running as hard as your skills allow you, then you'll have a fun race. Put dissimilar boats together where in the last 150 yards you punch the throttle and win then you have a Poker Run. (No offense to Poker Runs)
