I see Cotner Trailers win championships in class 6 with the smallest motor in there class. I bet they couldnt break 77 MPH on there best day. Yet they win being well prepared. I have a stock 525 in my class 5 boat and always feel I have a shot. Max speed on my boat best case is 84 MPH. Class 4 has Simmons with stock 500 merc's and SVL with single 525. which max out at 92 MPH on there best days. In all these classes there are boats with much bigger power that should kick a$$ but the teams are the difference in the end. Class 6,5 and 4 are all good in my book. I look forward to being the underdog with less power in the classes I race in. Winning or putting up a good fight with less means more to me. And dont think for a minute that fans dont understand you are the underdog and you are up for the battle. I think you will gain more respect beating Goliath than him beating you. Moral of the story is man up beotch.

You are Da Man Mad-Dog. The highlight of my entire racing was you and Hollywood betting AGAINST The Condo and washing it. The photo is hanging in my office. Things SHOULD go back to those days when we ALL had fun doing this, AND I'M GLAD WE BEAT YOU AND GLEN, We beat The Best! Thanks Man.

:I think i might just have to move to class 5 since we will get or azz handed to us ok well see about that and we wont change a thing on the boat see you in the spring:angry-smiley-038:

It wasnt meant to be takin like that, Im not into trash talking. But c'mon, If you combined all the class 6 boats with most of the class 5 boats would it be a fair race even at 70? No.

oK than..

C1 = 117mph
C2 = 105.7mph
C3 = 93mph
C4 = 82.5mph
C5 = 72mph
C6 = 55.9mph

My point was to make it a easy 10mph increments, just as easy for the hardcore offshore fans as the casual fan.

Didn't a 26 Corsa race OPA class 4? How did that 26 Joker do?

No one boat is perfect for every water or condition, but that's racing.

Id still like to know why you think the two most popular classes in OPA need to be changed?

I heard from a rival source that Bull on the Beach will not be racing class 3 next year.

I personally think class 6 should go, that's a good class but it's unnecessary and with its removal class 5 will grow bigger & better.

I think having a 70 and 75mph class is kind of the same thing.
