Team Thunderstruck, you belong in class 5. Lets talk about where you are going to run. You have to make the choice but we, or better I would love to be able to run class 5 next to guys. I will make you a deal. I will run the 5 boat with you guys at every race that you guys run...what do you think?

On a serious note, I think class 6 will allow us to take part in more races. I know it's only 5 mph but still...I guess it all depends on what we can do with our motor "situation."

During the confrence call with OPA, it was suggested that class 6 be based on an engine not more than 509 CID (this allows for a couple of 502 rebuilds) and aproxiamtely 500 horsepower. I believe Thunderstruck has a 540 with alot of power. OPA talked about limiting the power of Thunderstruck, without them having them do a complete rebuild of the engine.

Chris - I'm not sure, but following what was discussed on the conference call, I don't think that your Platinum will be "grandfathered" in to class 5. I mean it's up to the rest of the guys, but I think you MIGHT have an unfair advantage??
