    Did anyone ever run a T2 on a v bottom

    Back when my dad raced sst i think i remember a ally with a t2 on the back?I was pretty young but i remember i always wanted to race J Production.By the time i was old enough to race the class was gone.I have a 15 ft gw invader with center steering im redoing so i guess i can always pretend im at miami stadium.Anyone have any J Production pictures?I would love to see them.J Production was the coolest class i ever watched race.Thanks Bob

    I always thought OleGator's Ally with the T2 was the coolest V bottom ever built. I ran one also on a 15 Ally, but it wasn't decked over. I found mine very hard to get on top and ended up stickin' a 1500 XS Powerhead in it. Jim probably had his sorted. I was too impatient, and mine was just a lake toy anyway instead of a serious raceboat like his.

    J Production was generally a 15/16 ft V bottom with a 99 cu in limit box stock production engine and 4 carb venturi. The factory race motors like the Merc BP's, Twisters & T2's weren't legal, and neither were the OMC Stranglers and 4 cyl Stingers. The most common and competitive engine by far was the shortshaft inline 6 Merc (1500J's and XS's when they came available) although a few die hards tried unsuccessfully to compete with the old 20" 135 OMC's.

    Actually the BP's with the stock shifting lower units were designed to race in J and I Production classes.
