    Sport J has been around since the mid 60's in APBA. As a matter of fact there were "S" (Sports) classes for all the classes from E through JJ. However Havasu was a special event and not an OPC event back then. so there was simply a single outboard class.

    The first "J" engine was the Merc 1100. It was introduce in either '66 or '67??? It was legal in SJ and JP. I ran JP in '67. S Class was Unlimited Single Engine.

    The 1100 was introduced in '66. S class was unrestricted, 100 ci max. built in the USA running on pump gas
