Ok. I got off my lazy arse and did the research... Here's the difference in Performance classes:
DESIGINATION SPEED NUMBER
Performance Extreme-Cat* 110+ MPH PX-#
Performance Extreme-Vee* 110+ MPH PV-#
Performance Class 1 100-109 MPH P1-#
Performance Class 2 90-99 MPH P2-#
Performance Class 3 80-89 MPH P3-#
Performance Class 4 70-79 MPH P4-#
Performance Class 5 Below 70 MPH P5-#
The Outlaw Performance Classes shall serve as a series where racers can begin their racing career, work on racing skills, and where a boat can race that does not fit into any other class that APBA Offshore currently offers. Performance classes also give the racers and manufactures with high performance boats and parts a place to compete and an alternative to the Poker Run circuit. There are so many boat configurations that APBA cannot cater to each and every boat by creating a separate class. Naturally there is not one boat that does it all and different water conditions will cater to different boat configurations and boat size.
A boat that competes in the Performance Classes will be assigned a class by APBA Offshore based on the top speed of that boat in perfect water conditions.. If a Performance Class boat is found to be in the wrong class during pre-race inspection, APBA will move the boat into the correct class. Performance Class is not bracket racing.

Thanks everyone for congrats on races. I'm the driver in p4-56 and love racing that boat. It is the most solid ,stable ride out there and it turns best as well. If any of you guys are ever at the races please come up and talk to Dennis or myself as we'd love to meet you and hear your Sonic stories. We love ours. Look out Savannah Pat Tkacz PS no spider bites this trip.
