One of the most anticipated races scheduled in Sheboygan's second annual P1 offshore race was the Super Stock outboards.
This class has grown once again, (17 boats currently scheduled to race this season), and has the most boats registered of any class, and maybe more importantly, the most showing up to race in their six-race National Championship schedule, which comprises of:
May 17-19—Cocoa Beach, Fla. (P1)
May 31-June 2—Lake Ozark, Mo. (P1)
August 4—Michigan City, Ind. (OPA)
August 9-11—Sheboygan, Wis. (P1)
September 13-15—Sarasota, Fla. (P1)
September 27-29—Clearwater, Fla. (RWO)
In Sheboygan, the fourth race on their schedule, 13 boats answered the starting green flag on Saturday.

The boats entered were: S-1—S2 Powerboats, S-42 Jackhammer, S-3—Steele Offshore, S-7—JS Racing, S-14—Atlas Racing, S-17—Team Allen Lawn Care and Landscaping, S-24—Sign Sharx, S-25—Team Bermuda, S-39—CoCo’s Monkey, S-43—CELSIUS, S-55—Mom Ain’t Happy, S-77—North Wing Offshore Racing, and S-89—Big East Construction.
It appeared as if Mom Ain't Happy was unable to hold their lane in lane one, But, nobody crashed and the sequence was pretty interesting.
The sequence
As said earlier, no one hurt, no crash. But, a lot of air and some close calls.
After the races in Sheboygan, calls were made to the Class Representatives for every APBA class. They discussed the issue, and came up with a possible plan to make things better. They are discussing that this week, and will be making a recommendation before Sarasota. I'm hoping it is like the start the 450 class has been testing and tweaking all year.
