The slowest Class 5 would be capable of more than that. I don't think the class 5 guys want us in their way on starts, I for sure don't want to contend with them when I'm racing against the class 6 guys. Class 5 is the largest class already,
why change anything?

Ditto..

Cant imagine being 12 plus boats wide going into the first turn in St Clair, especially with a 5mph slower boat.

I say keep classes apart like it is now but i think you need to be still running to place at the end. Real nice rick does your mom no you have that mouth or finger as it my be

You don't need to be running at the checkered to place in any other motorsport. Why should we be different?

Looks like there will be another class 6 boat from Michigan ready for next season! Havent been to a OPA race yet but we're set'n the boat up to run class 6. Class 6 seems to be a great entry level class!
