617hp in a 26ft Velocity = a Tawas Win :whistle: (maybe 619hp, I'll have to ask Gary)
So if you think you need 650/700/750 or 800hp your wrong, we pulled a great start and lead start to finish. The key is not always BIG POWER.. the key is ;',dcqmcnqbnjbkcqbdcjdBACBasjkdcbaodbcabd (top secret) |

Sorry, didn't mean to overlook you. Add Bad Newz to the around 500 hp list. Didn't mean to offend, meant only to make point most of class 6 boat are 600+ at this point

The issue with 500hp is everyone is now considerably above that mark. Also, there is no 500 rule to enforce. Other than the Bat boats and us, no one has been near
500. Combining 5 & 6 will never happen, it would be a step backward. Again it is what it is and if it works for the powers to be then so be it. My opinion has always been to make 6 the intro or cheaper class with 500hp limit then have class 5 be the big power, sub-30' class. Who knows maybe it will go that way with crockett, dukes, wazzup 2 and other big power teams moving on. |

Thats kinda my point...would have liked to seen wazzup and the likes in 5 but again thats only an opinion from a non-racer. I don't even know if there are really all that many people who would come out if there was a true "entry" class but the way 6 was last year no way was that entry level. Trying to beat wazzup, crockett and the likes would be quite a feat for newcomers. Seeing crockett put the hurt on 4 and boomer running an SVL should be pretty entertaining lol
Plan to make it out to a couple races with the phantom. Going to miss st clair so hard to get too excited about the season as that is one of the best events of the year. But i love tawas and spend a lot of time up there over the years so I want to support that race. Port Huron too since its so close. Doubt I'll do much more. Lots of other $hit going on this year again. You doing the full season this year? |
