What was the most successful phantom in A class.

Wil

Toss up between Eriesistable and In-Motion

Bronx Phantom started it all.

Jerry Sorrentino and Norm Teague set the Kilo record for A-class at 101.865 mph in October 1999.

Wil - Your hull was very competitive in A-Class as Lil Deuce Coupe, although Fred and Alva didn't race it very often. When Rob Stopanio got involved after A-Calss changed to SVL in, the boat kicked azz.

The Scorpion boat set the APBA SVL Kilo record at 98.829 mph in June 2001.

A-Class was incredible ten years ago. How do you like this list of registered A-Class boats in 1996?

wish we had those kind of numbers.What was the demise of A-class?

Wil

It depends on who you ask. Some would say when Bronx Phantom, Rain X Express (Batboat) and La Baby Argentina were allowed to race, the non-canopied boats were at a disadvantage and many decided not to compete..........leading to the birth of F-1.

By the way - racers in A-Class in 1996 included Nigel Hook, Bob Bull and Todd Werner.

Todd used to drive the 3 seater phantom.What boats did Bob Bull and Nigel run?
