class 6 rules
 

what does it take to run a boat in class 6??

These - ha ha......

www.oparacing.org
Class 6 boats are up to 26' , speed bracketed to 70mph

:whistle:

whats the minium lenght

21.1 :lolhit:

I think we had a 21ft OB running a few years back at 2 rounds.

Is anyone going to tell him about the 800 horsepower you need in Class 6?

honestly....
 

Kinda sometimes kick myself.
Before dropping some $ to build my pantera I'm now thinkin' my 22' scarab would have been a pretty cool class 6 boat. It was relatively cheap, stable, fast with modest power (80 with 525) and come to find out after the fact it was light & strong ( Kevlar )
I think it would have done well on calm courses, if it was rough I'd probably have not wasted a tank of fuel & left it on the trailer though.

22s are cool A guy ran one in C6 a few years ago, Cant remember what it was called.
Youll love the 24 though, you wont have to make the decision to keep er on the trailer.

class 6
 

Barry what do you mean by 800 hp i have a 365 mag with a 3/4 race cam.:fear:

Trust me really:lolhit:

Having our engine dyno'd in a few weeks, Hoping the old 454 still puts out the 330 like it used to. :boat:

BAD NEWZ 613

that scarab kicked some azz

Well we finally stripped the Joker down to fit what we can use in the SVL, now who needs a 351 Ford making over 500 HP!?!?!?!?!?! It ran great in our boat!! We'll even sell it with the motor plates.

Let me know!

Holy F.....class 6 boats dropping out left & right.
Ray, pfe, wazzup 2.0, and u guys too.
Pfe to be replaced....so were @-3 boats for class 6?

I told you guys I was coming last yr....but changing classes for '13 is a little drastic no???:lolhit:

Could still use a GPS if anyone leaving wants to sell theirs?

It is not quantity, it is quality...

Dont worry mike we will be back in 6 and 4 this year ill send you a transom shot of the new boat so you can get use to that view.:signs069:

Good words here mike. Show up, play some and add to the count. There may be more who want to start in 6 or 5. I personally love to watch those 2 classes. Put your s--t together to run and go have fun. B

365 hp
 

Yeah, me too. The supercharger is just for show.........

That's a good thing that everyone is running low HP I was getting worried that the 350 with an Alpha one Gary put in the old PFE boat wasn't going to be enough. :whistle:

Be cool to have a couple open class 6 races in the future with no break out speed!!!!! :greenchainsaw:

HP's
 

I can tell from many years of experience, you will need to be pushing 600 horse or better to be competitive in class 6.

We are repowering for 2013.

The only exception to the above, would be running a Riendel boat with 300 HP in really big water. Pretty much a guaranteed winner with the right crew.

Which SVL did you buy?

I don't know about that. I think any boat has a chance in the right water with the right crew. Smith Brothers won many many races with the least amount of power in class 6 for many years.:whistle: Every class 6 team has a chance next season, we all ran good this past season, there was a few uh ohs in all the races. I know that for a fact, I was one that looked to my side to see a boat I didnt think I would see there! HAHA!!! That makes it fun!:lolhit:

Bruce: We didnt pull the trigger this season, the finances just wasnt there for us. Maybe next.
