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.
