I feel if the organizations would have done a better job at policing the boats and classes then there would not be a need for a change. I heard it said in more than one organization, “After all else fails and we still think a boat is too fast, we will then take the boat out and run it to determine its top speed” well, I never saw that happen. We all have been told “build a boat for the class not a class for a boat” and since it got away from you now you are building new classes for your boats….
I built my boat to run right at the breakout speed and we ran the thing to the limit every time. The fastest speed I have ever seen is 87mph and now it’s been put into a class with a speed of 95mph… I guess I’m the one fatality for the better of the sport… So be it, I’ll just stick to poker runs, speed runs and the other organizations as long as I fit in their classes…

From my understanding it is NOT a POINTS race, and will be out of the country. It will be an invitation only, depending on the number of boats that can go.

It hasnt been posted yet, still needs to confirm. Yes alot of Teams have been contacted, and aware of the situation, I think they have it well in hand.
