[QUOTE=TrippM;19798] Correct to some degree.
Iīm a semi-pro race mechanic by profession ( as Semi as not landed a full time job as a mechanic sofar..only 25yrs since I started).
The Vinatge circuits area means for gentlemen to race but not take it so dead seriously and admit we ainīt no young guns anymore.
Thenagain Iīve been around the Vintage racecars ( have 2 myself) but also theres a lure to new cars also.
Same goes with boats.. a Class1 raceboat is stunning.
Just keep the engines in same size as before and the induction..that surely restricts enough when you ainīt allowed any megacube mountain motors.The big factor would be the safety issue. We wouldn't want people getting hurt. I think HORBA has a good handle on where the boats need to be horsepower and weight wise to keep them close to original speeds.
I'd love to see it become a regular schedule.
Sure is the old boats will nowadays be faster than before because of prop and engine technology but not much IMO.

It's the boat with the crazy pink and blue/purple blob paint job that shows up on eBay from time to time.

A few up dated images of the Bubble deck running last weekend in the UK.
The waters were calm and the boat ran well. A great time was had by everyone. Now looking forward to getting ready for next years events.
