This event should be one for the books if everyone pulls together. Its a OSS/P1 event. There will be more Outboards built by then for a larger class. Location wise it should pull other SVL and SV boats. Along with the pro Am boats. Cant wait.

07-11-2011 07:47 PMCome on Frank, I dont think it conflicts with any of your SBI races. I would think that Marks boat would kick a$$ on a short course with lots of turns. Top end has nothing to do with the courses we are running now. We have all worked on making our boats faster in a straight line and now fast doesnt count for $hit. Its about turning! 5 laps in 5 heats means a min. of 100 turns per weekend. Now if they use some of the other courses with dog legs or S turns than its even more. It has been very close racing so far.

So what happened to racing offshore boat in rough water? Lake racing was bad enough. This short track racing Is kinda like taking a Trophy Truck and racing it on a Go Kart track. I guess I don't understand the point. Oh its for the fans. Talk of all the spin-outs sounds kinda expensive, so when the drives start snapping off and, the boats look like they have been in a crash up derby great. I don't ever recall a fan saying that was awesome heres $12,000 to fix your boat.

07-12-2011 07:43 PMDon't let the fact that we run in the sound fool you! Yes, there are times when it may be slick calm, but with winds, tides, ground swell coming through the inlet, and traffic it can turn into a washing machine! I have no personal knowledge regarding the match racing course, but ours will will run along the port wall creating a new challenge with this format regarding water conditions! No we don't have the huge swell or big seas, but it is NO lake out there!

07-11-2011 08:01 PMThanks Pete! Hope you can make it this year, if you are back stateside.
Randy our full course is a "boomerang" shaped course and offers a little bit of everything from flat, to chop, to swell, etc. depending on weather and tides! I will get it posted asap...my laptop crashed and I list everything, but I am up and running now, just need to download, update, and back up my files!
