Billy,
Like Rick said it isnt that easy to make much more HP then 950-1000 and finish races with a 509 cu. in. motor.The differance is now with the cu. in. they have they can make 1500-1700 easily and not push the engines with boost.
If you dont limit the cu. in. you could have boats in the class running 1500- 1600- 1700 hp and that wouldnt work and kill a class quick.

LOL... Billy dont be silly its always good to have good conversation about things like this and hear different options.
Your point is well taken maybe u should see if there is a way to limit the cat killer so u can run against him. Like u said fuel and boost might be a good starting point. I think they would welcome some competition.

frank sorry i just realized that you said we should try to run against the cat killer. my point of joining this discussion was to discuss possibly all the boats running together again in one class for more competition. i realize that this probably wont happen but i just think that the cubic inch rule isnt as crucial as fuel octane or boost or adding weight to the boats that are over the cubic inch rule. i know where everyone stands on this i guess i just felt like throwing my thoughts out there.
cheers!
cheers!

You can change all the engine rules you want, it will never beat a bigger boat. The cat killer can run 140 on cruise control and we don't have enough bottom too run at those speed. Remember it was a 47' boat cut down, the running surface is a lot larger than all of our boats

Guys, I have no dog in the fight, yet, but as productive as this might be on the boards, why dont you guys have a conference call(and include everyone ie Benny and Billy) or meet in the pits in NYC and get on the same page in less than 20 minutes. This thread was started as Frank thanking his sponsors and it has gotten so far off topic its kinda funny. The boards are not the place to be working this out.

Bill,
How many times did you guys go over 117 in a race last year? I don't understand why they made another Super V unlimited class instead of you guys running in an existing P1class. Is it because P1 doesn't sound as cool. Super V unlimited should be unlimited. They could of made the P1 class break out 120 but I know this year 92mph won Miami, 112mph won Sarasota. Why keep making classes. Seminole ran only 120 with kilo set up and I know the skater will run 117 on its best day so why make more classes with less boats?

PS Billy do you know where the nearest unrinal is?
