APBA J OMC Restrictor Plate Availability

[sponsonhead]

All:

The J Class committee approved increasing the size of the J restrictor plate on OMC motors to .562". The rule was approved by the APBA BOD on 2-12-2015, and will become active March 12.

.562" restrictor plates are currently in production by Ed Runne and should be available to order on the APBA Store website by March 15th.

Race on,

Any increase for AXSH?

[Howie Nichols]

No for the AXH. No testing data was presented on the OMC motor in that class.

[Jeff5P]

AX classes are being addressed. We will be doing prototype testing this season. Data to be collected.

At last!!! Now "Grandpa's Blue Ridge Racing Team" will be looking for two good OMC J engines to field two new youngsters that have completed the Michigan hydro school but have yet to enter a real race. (Instead of skrimping to find one Merc J.) For the overall good of the sport, this is one of the best rule changes EVER and I'm looking forward to putting my 'team' on the water because you have just made it so much more affordable to enter the world's greatest sport. Many congratulations to the committee members and folks that worked hard to pull this off. A real positive move!! brboatbuilder
