Ozark Shootout

[Donskihp]

Anyone have a list of this years classes/ like last years list?
who's all going?

 

[Serious News]

Almost the same as last year except the addition of some Women's classes and the addition of a new drive class for the non-bravo Bravo's. I do not know where Alpha drives fit in.

Please be advised that all racers will be required to have Marine Band Radios in their boats this year. The Shootout Committee is working on purchasing some for those that need one for the races.
** There are additional classes in 2014 based on the type of drive that is in your boat. Please see the registration page for that information.
*** In addition, the PWC classes have changed and among other things, have added a women’s class. Please see the registration page for that information.

I also believe that it will be on Fox Sports locally at LOTO. I don't know if there is a way to tie into that broadcast. I know when I was racing there this year my wife was able to watch on Fox Sports at the hotel.

I wonder if every boat has its own class yet????:sifone:

I have no idea who came up with a class for 700 Merc only???????? Who the heck tech's it to make sure it hasn't been reprogrammed or other changes internally so that it's not a 700 Merc? Merc does not have a sealed engine program for the 700 like they do for the 525.

At some point it has to make some sense. I just don't see where things like that make any sense at all.
