Mod VP, Division V, Division VI and Division II
The 300 Parker has set it's rules for the Mod VP class and with these rules, boats can choose from three different Divisions: Div V, Div. VI and Div. II (for those of you not familiar with Roman Numerals, that is Divisions 5, 6, and 2.) Division V is the division designed for the true Mod VP but has been down tuned slightly for safety reasons. For example: The Div. V boats must weigh 1350 lbs, dry weight, less driver. The center of the prop shaft must be no less than 2 inches below the bottom of the pad. If drivers/owners donot want to comply with the 2 inch rule, they may choose to "step-up" to the Division VI. Division VI requires a minimum boat weight of 1580 lbs, dry weight, less driver. If this does not appeal to the driver/owner, they may choose to drop down to the Div.II class. Here there is no weight limit, nor is there a prop shaft rule, the only rule is that the engine must have a "club" (stock) foot--no pointy nose cones and no low water pick-ups. These rules are posted under Parker 300 official rules for any one interested. Gentlemen, this gives you three ways to go if you want to run a Mod VP type boat. There will be scales at the race course and you will be weighed at the pre race inspection. Hope we have provided you with a set of rules you like and can comply with--Hope to see you at Parker--Get your race applications in to Ross as soon as possible. I am available to weigh your boat/engine entry anytime we can work it out prior to the race--just get your entry in and we will find a day convenient to all. No entry, no weigh. :) Rod Zapf (310) 488-3563
