P Class Update
 

To All P-Class Racers:
With today’s new high tech hulls, and the increase of availability of reliable higher horse power motors we have looked at increasing the P Class speed brackets across the board. After interviewing numerous members of the P Class it seems like they all agree and support changing the speeds.
For the 2009 season Classes P2 – P5 will be increased by 3 MPH. The new speeds are listed below per class. This change will take effect in SBIP’s first race in Miami, April 17 - 19, 2009. We thank you in advance for your support and look forward to seeing you all in Miami.
P5 – 75
P4 – 85
P3 – 95
P2 – 105
P1 – 117
Thank you,

Cool....same as OPA.....

Looks good frank,

But how about adding a P-6 class for us poor folk, and the old P-5 boats that wont make the cut??? Only if there is enough participation of course.

Rick

Rick you get the boats and let me know and we'll get some place for them to race. I think if there is a class of boat min. of five boats that SBI would consider it. I would take it to John for you .

Sounds good Frank,

Well, I got one.....

Lets see if anyone else wants to race?:rolleyes:??

rchevelle, what would the breakout be 65 ? Mike

Seeing as every other class is in 10MPH increments, I would say 65 sounds good, I would have to add some motor, but if it was a competitive class I dont have a p[roblem doing that, if there were guys with big motors sandbagging, then no way, cuz 65 would be my max speed, and they would be running around at 3/4 throttle. Personally I would like to see it at 60, and allow smaller boats than in the past, but I dont want them to build a class around my boat, but what everyone would want. Nice 24 ya got, I have never seen it around, We should meet up some time. Actually, now that I look closer, thats not Scotty's boat is it??

Rick

Yep, Its Scotty B's . Going to run it this season. mike
