There is no way our 496 is going to be able to accelerate out of the turns like the front running
class 5 boats. We (611) could change props and run a couple MPH faster, but we can't run 75.
I understand the idea from a give the fans a show point of view, but I don't think any class 6 boat can run with the class 5 guys.
Just my 2 cents....

Also on the 24 Warlock....I was not away of the power differance in it..
I just knew the boat ran 84 with the carb 500 in it...so I thought 75 would be attenable in Class 5..on the acceration part...we found out in F1...the acceleration was not that big of a deal in the clam, very few temas lifted at all even in the turns then....but I understand if your not going to hit 75...well yes...that is no fun....and we should just keep the classes seperated

Smitty was talking about all class 6 guys get 50 points for the race....so points would not be a factor...
