"tweaking or modifications" as in modifying a boat hull and deck so it fits a smaller class?

Rumor has it that octane may be getting a 598 ci dart pushing 800 hp naturally aspirated with a 500 hp shot of nitrous for a little extra push at the last 1000 feet of track at the shootout this year ,,, just a rumor,
Getting back to the LOTO shootout debate. The above was posted on 6/15 by Wreckdoctor telling everyone what he had planned for the shootout. The official results from the shootout were posted today with:Forehand/Jannsen winning class PVL2F1 (factory motor) @ 93 mph and Lance & Shelley Sutton winning class PVL2M1 (modified motor) @ 100 mph. Two different boats and two different classes. What I don't understand from this particular thread as well as others on this site and the other one is why do people rush to accuse others of cheating. Instead of all these so called professional racers working together to grow the sport, it appears there are far more doing their best to destroy it. By the way congrats to Lance & Shelley, we are very happy ya'll didn't get hurt when you spun the boat out.

Not sure I would agree with that one. Factory 1 had 20+ boats, all going side-by-side for turn one at a mere 81-83mph.
Any lapse of "skill-judgement" and we look like "the big one" at the Pocono 500

What would have been cool, would have been if all the SVL ran in the same "stock" class to see who really has the speed

I agree 100%. That would have settled the debate once and for all.
The speed of an SVL Pure Stock ( 496 525 ) in a straight line Is useless in determining it,s prowess . ( not to mention boring in any class Yes I,ve seen it )
The " OFFSHORE BOAT " challenge is the combination of ,driver throttleman , hull, and engine package ,in an " OFFSHORE " environement .
The lake thing is probably fun i,m sure ,I know for me on a little lake It got boring real fast .
Key West is the place to take down the " ( two ? )fountains . At least thats my bet . I,d like to see # 51 #66 #(47-10 )and "time band,d ( mazakoskis hull ) show up . That would do it . Three days racing .Everyboat boat tech ,d To keep it semi fair .
Now THAT should be fun . Maybe we can start a small wager fund to help with expenses . I know its hard to do southern races ,when you are not from here . But We want you here ,Know that !:driving:

So from reading the last few pages of nonsense, I learned two things.
1. Doc's boat goes 93 or 94 depending on how accurate the radar was this year.
2. It takes over 800 hp to make an SVL run over 100.
Hence, we can safely say that Doc's Fountain didn't run 103 in St Clair.
What I don't understand is why Lance would register his boat as a 525 SVL for the Shootout, go through inspection and then go home and drop in an 800hp motor without telling the inspectors and changing classes. What was the game plan behind the engine swap?

I gotta agree, the scariest racing I have EVER done in 17 years of racing was in 75-80mph F1 boats hands down..... racing a 40' V bottom does not compare to racing something 30' and under......
