No, the speed is still 70. The idea of lowering it was brought up in an unofficial discussion at the awards party. The thought is it may bring some more boats into the class.

I think the 65mph would bring some more boats, plus be a little easier on the equipment.

so is there still talk about changing the speed? I am not a racer yet but in the process of building up a boat for class 6. This would make a difrence on the power I pick. I am still a little ways away from the power part of the project.

I would be able to run a single o/b and I am sure it would open it up to more boats in the 24 foot size.

Whatever you guys decide is cool I was just wondering

Thanks Guys

Josh

Looks that way...nobody ran #517 in the past;so I guess its yours.Call Smitty.I know your dad ran "Stylin" P-17 and C-17 ;and eventually P1-17, with Al.Am I right in assuming your team name is going to be "Saris Racing Engines"?Get Al to bring his boat back out ..and you guys could run in both races!!!!!!

Great to have your team in Class 5...see you in Ocean City
