Formula Two Boats Featured on 2010 PROP Tour

NIXA, MO. (December 7, 2009) – The Formula Two class of outboard powerboats will be featured at all Formula One PROP Tour events in 2010, PROP Executive Director Wayne Worthy has announced.

“We look forward to seeing our friends in the Formula Two class come and be a part of our new venture,” Worthy said. “We are excited to have them racing with us and they are excited to be rejoining their friends in Formula One.”

In addition to joining the Formula One class on its 2010 tour, the Formula Two teams will race as the headline class at Orange, TX and Trenton, MI.

“We are bringing the Formula Two guys under the banner with us so they will have the benefits of being part of the Formula One tour – the media exposure, the prize money and points fund and a first-class organization,” Worthy said. “If we arrange the five or six Formula One races we hope to have next season, the Formula Two class could have six or seven races on its schedule. We are expecting so many good things with that schedule and the addition of many new teams! The last time we had a Formula Two Champion was in 2001 and we look forward to crowning a new one in 2010!”

The PROP Tour voting membership, consisting of representatives of Formula One teams, will be expanded to include members from the Formula Two group. “They will have a voice and a vote in the organization,” Worthy said.

Mercury Racing, the official engine supplier to the Formula One PROP Tour, builds the SST-120 and 200 XS Optimax engines used in the Formula Two class.

All Formula One and Formula Two races will compete under the American Power Boat Association Outboard Performance Craft guidelines. PROP will apply to the OPC commission to request “Major Series Status” for its Formula Two class

PROP also hopes to schedule the Formula Lights/Pro Tunnel Tour boats at its Formula One events in 2010, Worthy said. “The Formula One, Two and Lights boats run together put on a great show and keep non-stop action on the water all weekend.”

This is great that 120 will be running with PROP. Nothing but good things will come from this and it will get the class as strong as it once was was and can be.

Formula 2 PROP

As a director of HOTT I couldn't be happier with all our discusions with the members of the PROP organization as we decided to support PROP in their bid for the APBA major series and the Formula 2 PROP series for 2010.

After PROP shared the structure of their organization and their goals for the future we realized that both groups were on the same page and going the same directions and the only logical move was to join the PROP stable. They have truly set up a transparat organizion where the drivers are involved on every level.

I would suggest that all the Formula 2 drivers contact Bob,Wayne or Jake as soon as possible.

I know they are looking for Formula 2 drivers bios and pictures asap for the website. So do your part and get wayne your info. F1PROP.COM

Does this mean the F1 series based in NC is out of the boat racing biz?
