Oh ok. Good. Although a third race site would be perfect. That would make 6 total days of drag racing.

Choices for props you mean Ken ? If I had a big block torque monster that won't rev like a 2.5 or similar. . You need to take advantage of the power you have but most importantly AT THE RPM YOU HAVE THE POWER !!!! I'd like to have some 15.5" x 24 , 25 & 26 semi-cleaver type props made. With the vast amounts of torque the big block motors make they can push more water due to the torque. That's diameter. . . and not always about pitch. You have the torque to push more water than a small high rev'ing small block type motor. Drag racing is about who gets there first and NOT who gets there with the fastest speed. That means cutting a good start/light , acceleration and efficiency/quickness to plane and fly on the pad-packing air Prop for a slight over run of RPM when you pass the '800 mark , get on plane as quick as possible. In saying that weight is not your friend ( and we have no weight limits either ) , compression is your friend , proper jetting / fuel map for short bursts and acceleration are night and day different then top end stuff , perfect handling as an ill handling boat scrubs speed and time Lots to consider but remember that it should be fun and think of it as a challenge to get the best out of what you have. You'll be surprised how quick all boats can be if they're set up correctly for a drag race.
