The date is set for the one day fall-winter race. Nov24-19 that is the Sunday before Thanksgiving, We are adding a couple classes with interest locally. Limited/Offshore, P Jersey Skiff, and Q/limited.
Jersey will be 4S (P) with a 40X74 single motor limit. Sarasota has 4 racers that want to come and if we can find more boats they will be built.
Q/limited is a new local class we see growing fast. Single motor 40X74 max on 4-6S Mono, Cat or Outboard Tunnels combined. No length limit. (this would be a killer Zip33 combo down the line)
Here is the logic: The next step above P/ltd is full P or Q which can get very expensive to keep up with competition. A limited Q keeps motor and ESC cost in line with P/ltd. 6 cell bring the amps way down and you can actually use a Raider/Flycolor 150. Add an $80 Leopard 1400kv and your into the mid 50's.
The next benefit is Sonicwaves, Spartans, Pursuits, and Genesis fit in well. Anyone know someone with one of those?
I tested a Leopard 40X74 with a datalogger on a 37" mono and saw 56mph and 140 amp max draw. In the range of a 150 and surely a T-180 would be bulletproof.
You can sign up now on PP or mail in. Hope we see you in Nov. 2 Day race in early March 2020 is in the works too.
