I also like the idea of voted class reps. Just beacause you won last years high points does not make you a guy that teams can talk to.

Mark, I respect your input and knowledge on this topic. A v-lite class would be the ticket and if there was a real class and tech for one in OPA we would have one tomorrow!!! Unfortunately unless you can travel all over with OSS it would leave you nowhere to race. I love spec class but with F-1 gone that leaves too many great under 30ft singles ridding around at 75mph !!! Don't you think 5 more mph would make the teams play into the race more and less imput on the acceleration to the first turn
Thanks;and I respect your opinions on this topic as well.My suggestion was to maybe add another BRACKET CLASS for single engine vee bottoms canopied or open cockpit up to 80mph or 85mph and a maximum length of 32ft.I think we all miss the F1 concept...but how do we get back to that at this point?I hope all is well;and I look forward to racing with you guys next year. |

C-YA !!! The winner is ........................DAREDEVIL .:evilb: |
There has been some talk of running the 525 twin v's in a spec format. My only concern here is it will leave a big hole in class 2. Maybe it is worth looking at moving class 3 up and creating a class for the single V's that want spec racing, Class 3 could be called class 2 with the same speed bracket of 95. Class 3 would then be Spec single V.
Food for thought. |
Just a tought....by starting to look at ways to make class 4 a single and twin class....we are just deluting the class's again and going back to make class's that fit a few boats vice equip your boats to fit the class's...
Class 4 is one of the biggest class's both in OPA and SBI/APBA.....by splitting it up to single and twins you are now going to have 2 or 3 boats in one and 3 or 4 boats in another... We raced againts a single engine Activator in Class 3 that was always up front.... and Team Actane came out this year in a single engine and did good along with LaveyCraft in Class 4.... |
I agree, but there should be a length limitation in class 4 ?!
I thinkif class 4 would only go to 35 ' length would be ok,i dont care racing against twins but racing against a 38 foot boat with twin high HP doesent make sence. Thought from my behalf.:party-smiley-004: |
CLASS 4
401-Simmons Racing 411-Team Octane 413-The Jersey Boyz 417-Team Purrrfect 420-Dirty Pearl 433-Konrad 446-Reinforcer 451-Bounty Hunter 455-Adrenaline Rush 457-Vicious Racing 477-AMF/Laveycraft These are the teams that ran Class 4 this year...but they avg. 6 to 7 boats a race...a lot of these boats did not run the whole season...now split up the twins to singles and what do you think the avg will drop to.... |
The question is will it grow not drop? Maybe there are teams that dont show based on they dont feel competitive against twins? I agree that if you only split the class then it makes no sence.
