Re: turbine class
Those guy's (Callan) were instrumental with regard's to "late model" turbine racing.
It will be very exciting to run with them. AMF is rigging the MTI turbine boat now which will join the fleet soon.

Actually we have had a number of high profile teams inquire abot retrofitiing their boats to run Turbines. Even turned down to 1100 or 1300hp a 36 or 38 40 44 46skater ormti is capable of extreme speeds add 1000+ hour rebuilds in a race environment...why wouldnt a serious player consider them. I'll give you one more thing to think about..
1.8 G's nonstop through 170+mph.
As for negativity. The AMF team is a positive team...we'll work hard to keep it that way. Big Smile
