So I can show up with my 28 Pantera with 700 hp that does top speed of 87 and run in p-4 in AC? Why not even P-5, where does it stop? Just asking.

Yes, you can. Rumor has it, it has been tried before. Even the 2nd sentence has been tried before. As long as you don't exceed your bracket speed during the race, you are good.

Bracket racing makes men humble. WQhere else would they claim that their boat never, ever, under no circumstances whatsoever can exceed 80 mph? "Actually, judge, I'm happy when I see 74 .."

Can we enter BJ and his 700 bhp Pantera for Point Pleasant?

I'll run with you BJ

i talked to the guys from stylin in AC and they said they r comin to race in point so i guess count them in for P1

According to APBA rules boat speed is determined by "ultimate top speed in perfect water conditions". Ultimate top speed to me would seem to mean a reasonable amount of fuel, race prop, and the boat trimmed out. I don't know what "perfect water conditions" means exactly for each boat but I do know that far too many boats are running a class or two lower than they should which makes it tough for the crews who run in the proper class.

The problem with the classes are not so much the speed of the boats. A ten mile an hour bracket is hugh. In P5 You can run from 60 70. if you boat only runs 62 or 63, in some water conditions you will never compete. If there is a 1 mph difference after a one hour race, you are 1 mile behind. You have to get your boat to run at the top of your class, and then have the talent to run it there. ED

well said PAPA!!!
