F1 tunnel boats / V8 four stoke?

Those non existent, totally unused by anyone on earth Merc APX race engines... ran all weekend at the OPC Nationals with no issues at all.

But who won?

Spencer Love won, how is that relevant as it relates to an argument of "they aren't being bought or used"

Granted they are being used but not winning-yet!

There's nearly 50 years of testing on the "old" setup, and less than a year of testing on the "new" setup. There are a few guys that are known to be able to get the most out of their rigs that have them and will figure them out if anyone can. I don't like them any more than anyone else does but that is the way the sport is going and crying about it solves nothing. A bunch of people that don't support the sport, don't attend races, etc, are the ones bitching and moaning about it.

The ACME porkchop was never intended for domestic sale. It was meant to be used in the F-1H20 series ... you know, so they could be the "world champions with green new garbage" ..

Since they have been for the most part ... rejected. They have settled for selling a few here and there .. stateside.

Pretty sure that's not what they had in mind ... dribble sales. Only an idiot would call a sales dud ... a win.

Crying ... only the guy who is on par with Jethro Bodines reading level ...

How many were there and what APBA class did they run?
F-2?

I know yrs back they made a 200 Opti race motor for that class which I think was 2.0 Mercs and I don’t think we’re happy about it which I understand based on cost.

They run in the F1 Powerboat series. There is no real F1 in north america but they call those carb'd fishing engines F1.

Texas F1, good set of rules to get boats racing, at sensible costs with easily available parts.

[Noah Burns]

I am fine with the rule set but calling it F1 is blasphemy!

I was asking what they ran at the OPC Nationals.
