Rick here's another and I am sure there will be plenty of FER's, we should have plenty of boats for all mod classes. A lot of racers just won't sign up on the website.

850ccmr/fer

So I Will Ask Again. Who Is Going To Run 850ccmr/fer. I Asked Who Was Planing On Running ,but All I Got Back Was How The Mod Drivers Changed The Names Of Their,beloved Classes. Sorry But You As Drivers Voted To Change It, It Was On The Ballot.


" If You Dont Vote You Cant Gripe "



I See Maybe 2 Others. And It Is A Long Drive To Haul A Boat And Not Run So Help Me Out And Let Me Know Who Planes On Runnig This Class,. Thanks

From what I have been told, Bob Dunlap can correct me, testing is available on Thursday and Friday. Winter Nationals are Sat. All MOD classes will be run before getting into the other classes with 1 or 2 exceptions. Sun is a regular race unless Sat is blown out. If Sat blown out then Sun is Winter Natls, and if Sun blown out Monday is last day for Winter Natls. If Winter Natls go into Mon then no 2nd race will be run.

Rigs will have to leave Jesup pits no later than Monday.

Not sure what is left up in North Florida for test sites, haven't heard of to many especially with open pipes.

Steve French did you get my PM?

So simple!!!

When i was riding my Hawthorne to races everyone in my circle knew A 50, B 60 , 36 between A and B, D 70 hopefully , now what's so hard about that, BTW there wern't any c's till i got my drivers liscence but they were generally equal to 36. Btw , whats wrong with Cu. In. worked fine 'till cars started looking little and yellow. LOL

I already suggested an answer to that question: The top speed of the class (or maybe the "wishful" speed of each class). Outsiders are always asking "How Fast?" It doesn't matter if we tell them the power or the size, they still ask "How Fast?"

If the intent was to answer a marketing issue, it should answer that issue, not beat around the bush

I Don`t Like It Either ,It Did Not Help The Pro Cat. As Far As I Can See.(This Will Get Some Action) Lets Vote It Out Next Year.

I agree with Sam on the change, I don't like it either. I think you have lost a lot of tradition with the change. As far as I know outboard motors in this country have always been rated by horse power. I bet you could go into any outboard dealer in the country and say I want a 750 cc motor and they wouldn't start to know what size you wanted. I think a spectator would know more about hp than cc, I know I would.

If it ain't broke don't fix it!!!

Split

David will seperate his pro rigs for sale and sell you just the engine or just the boat, whatever you want to purchase.

[STEVE FRENCH]

Steve,

I echo Marks comments on David Mitchels equipment. He has first class stuff capable of winning at anytime in any pro race. It is National Championship quality equipment. His 250CCH is a Rossi engine, twin cyl. The boat is a MJR dang near new.

If you were even considering getting into Pro, you would be foolish to not consider this equipment. Laydown hydro for your knees, smooth ride. I know this same equipment has won National Titles in both classes. David Mitchel used to race Mod stuff, the DMH, and EMH comes to mind. I have a video of him in I think DMH (40CI) in Soddy Daisy TN. I remember it because I was filiming dad out there and Mitchel got caught up in an accident and was run over. It looked bad, but he revcovered fine, and went on to win many titles.

Dave, Thing is....I'm look'n for a "rig" for my C-MOD Merc/Wizard....not a complete ....PRO..... package.
Kind'a hard to get someone to split a packge for the rig only........

what other way of description fits today's terminology?
