small case / big case, interesting...
From what I am understanding , these races are for a short length of just 660 FEET ? = 220- yards or 1/8th mile. ( 201.168 meters for the Europeans)
How many seconds do the boats take to complete these 660 feet runs on say a v hull of around 13 to 14 feet long ?
this I am very curious to know to compare what my little tub can do this distance in, .
We just had our 1st race, last weekend. The winning rig at 894lbs with a 90 Yamaha ran a 9.46 on a stopwatch checked by many. We had 4 boats in our class, 56 total. It was a good time and I am hearing of 4 more to the next race, we got some folks fired up lol.
Are there any results posted? When is the next race?

is that weight with or without the driver ?
COMPLETE rig strait out of the water, had to weigh 880lbs Driver, helmet, jacket ect.. AS RACED
Well I am very suprised .
Thought the time would be lower with just that for total weight.
Must have pretty poor hole shot, but good on top end for straight line racing on
Longer distances.
Maybe this is why hound says about bigger gearbox being better for the drag.

9.40s at 890+ lbs in 660' With a 3 cyl engine, idle in gear take off, no power adder, pump gas. Come on dude you didn't put much thought into that comment.
Well a 9.46 second boat would not embarrassing my little slow boat at all. I have crap 45 top end but gets to it quick. I know 100% she can do 660 feet well under 10 seconds.
