Post subject:  LOOKING FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN SMALL TUNNEL HULLS

Over the last few years we have had growing interest in developing a small Tunnel hull class to go with our current SLT class and to expand T Class Division.

This is the type of class most people are interested in.

Boat
- 9 to 13 foot tunnel
- construction options of fiber, wood, composite, production made or home build
- centre steer or tiller
-seat or no seat

Motors
- stock motors from 15 hp to 50 hp

You have lots of combinations.
Production hulls like Crew Cubs, Baja, Mirage, Grand Prix, Speed Cat
Kit boats
Boat from plans like the catch 10
Small SLT tunnels
Old non celled SST45 hull
A wide range of motors

NEXT STEPS
We need to see how many boats we can put in the water to test.
Once we see what we have then we can develop rules to fit.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT? OR WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUILD?
THIS CLASS WILL BE THE LOWEST COST CLASS TO RACE IN.

Here is another small tunnel for sale:

I think the seller is incorrect in stating the boat has a Marty installed centre pod. I think this boat is the Mirage DRAG model and not the SST 60 model. The pod was installed by Mirage. They Drag raced these boats with V4 motors. VERY QUICK!!
A TORC DRAG RACER could make something out of this.

Those Dillon tunnels seem to run pretty decent, he's building a bigger lake version designed for motors like the 3cly motors

Anyone with a small tunnel would be welcome at the T Party. We normally have an SLT there and it would be interesting to see if they could race together. Plus T racers love to share and drive other boats.
