take a peak!

GREAT IDEA!!
There has been a lot of winter engine builds and spring testing. The racers have been secretive as to their results.
First race is coming up in Tweed June 8/9.
There could be a few new racers as well.
Several people have multiple engines to run during the season so every event will be interesting.

We are already seeing posts of some of the competitors in the class.

For those of you who are not familiar with the T850 Canada version here are some of the features.

The class category is called VPR.....V hull, production, runabout. The class races as part of the Stock Outboard event.....it is a separate class from other Stock Outboard classes with it’s own rule book. It shares many of the same rules including driver’s safety gear.. The VPR title follows the way other Stock Outboard Classes are named. So the word “runabout “ to describe the boat type.

T850 class has raced around the world for decades. “T” means monohull ...850 means engine displacement in cubic centimeters...approximately 53 cubic inch. The Canadian version has a 60 cubic inch maximum displacement. That increases the number of motor options.

The class races in back to back heats. Each heat is 5 laps. Like all the other Stock Outboard classes It’s a “Clock Start”. The difference is after the first heat the boats do not go to the pits. They go to the center of the course after the first heat finishes. In a few minutes the 5 minute flag comes up to indicate the start of the second heat .

The races are very exciting to watch . Lots of action and 75 mph speed.
