    I know there is no HP cap on class 5 from what i understand but what about the drive.
    Is the Ilmor 625 or 650 and Indy drive legal..not trying to change any rules...just trying to pick a good package out..

    625/650 with a Indy.. I would see no reason why not. Dont a fair amount of the boats in #5 push more than 625/650hp already?

    Thats what I understood....I think the smallest hp being run is the 525 which is around 560...so I would think either the 625 or 650 is OK...but just want to make sure of that and the drive.

    I thought the class rep. was the previous years champ. That would make Specialized Racing (Mark Gallagher) the rep for 2010.

    Gino,
    I don't believe that he frequents the boards.

    Send a PM to Biggus (Kurt) on here. He is a neighbor of Marks and can give you his number.

    Gino I would ask Ilmor to build you at least 750 -800 HP if you want to stay dry. We are putting a twin Whipple 1200HP on pump 91 gas with a #6 drive in this year.

    The truth?! You can't handle the truth!

    I would have taken video but you really cant see behind you in a batboat too well Lets just say it starts out in the middle of Lake Michigan with a loose seapump hose and ends with running circles around a certain red Donzi at about 80 in some nice size waves....



    Hahahaha this is gonna be a fun year I can already tell!
