Its really interesting how different the engine scoops are.. I have noticed most of the class one boats like these.

I wonder who did the tests on them.

these scoops are to restrict the air intake....

Why the need to restrict the air? Class rules?

Well that explains part of it.

Still interesting.

its where the highest pressure is to force feed the air restrictors... and yes, victory and others have ran numerous styles and heights to fine tune that height and shape. Maritimo even runs those now on the new merc's they run.

I'm very excited to see Class 1 boats back in the US. This is going to be a great year in KW.

KEY WEST, Fla. -- Peter Meyer won the Super Vee Unlimited class during the first of three events Wednesday at the Key West World Championship offshore powerboat races.
Meyer, a Port Washington, N.Y., resident, and throttleman Johnny Stanch of Westmont, N.J., averaged 89.09 mph over a wind-blown course. Their Seminole Hard Rock boat won national championships in 2008 and 2009 and also earned a world title here last year.
"It was more than a little snotty," Meyer said of the 3- to 4-foot seas on the outside leg of the course. "But we had the right propellers on for the day."
Miss Geico, piloted by Marc Granet of St. Petersburg Beach, Fla., and Scott Begovich of Jupiter, Fla., easily won the two-boat Turbine class and their 106.35 mph average speed was the fastest of the 50-boat fleet.
Driving Spirit of Quatar, Sheik Hassan bin Jabor Al-Thani and English throttleman Steve Curtis placed second in the Superboat 850 class, but a second team boat, driving by Abdullah Al Sulaiti, won the class.
"Because there are three races, we decided to take it easy and go slow," Hassan said. "Its very important that we race on Friday (the second race) and start and finish on Sunday (the final race)."

It looks like they did end up getting their own class...
There was a 850 Class and a 850 Extreme Class

Still it is very cool that they came all the way over here to race!! I'd like to know more about the logistics to get that done.. How long did it take,
How many trucks were brought, etc.
