GOOD IDEA....
Just woundering Brian....since you build the Joker Boats...has any toughts be given on a IROC series type class...
All boats are 28 Jokers....you build them exactly the same and sell them hull only and don't make any changes to the hulls so weather you buy a used 04 or a new 07 its the same hull...and have a engine manufacture do a incentive for the engine/drive package and have them sealed and the teams can rig there own boats...one drive one engine one hull..no modifactions, one gear ratio..out of the box props one x-dim. a true driver/throttleman race
I know the inital cost will be high to build the boats...but I wounder if some teams would be willing to order the hulls if they knew the class was a go...
I know a small investment, a high boat count and deck to deck racing is what is the most exciting thing the fans want...if something like that could be put together...the Racing Series could make apperances to race at select National Organizatins races as a exbition race on Saturday's and you would have some interested fans woundering on how they could get into the Series...
Or even get a few investers to purchase a few hulls for the first 10 or so and there hulls would have to be puchased first and all at one set price...so they could make a few thousand $ for them making the inital investment to you get enough boats out there....don't know what the hull would cost...but a lot of teams could use a lot of there old tabs,sterring, and other parts to rigg...like the Joker guys did...
I for one would be interested in purchasing a few hulls up front and also buy one to race in something like that...
Just a tought...
