What kind of hulls do you expect to be competitive in this class?

 

[nort]

Well suited crossover class for t-850 boats.
Allison 13-R
Critchfield
Delta
VooDoo
Rapid Craft
We're likely going to run something similar up here with our new drag organization.

 

[Yamonster]

Exactly what Nort said. Most have 13' and 14' Allisons a few have 12' Tom Cat hulls.

Looks like a lot of fun.

 

[90 5.0]

They were a lot of fun to watch at Morgan City, I'm glad yall are coming back. Gives something different for the spectators to see also , which is important in this sport.

Gotta agree with ya 90 5.0! I got to watch them run in Morgan City also and it was a blast to watch!

Any idea what the date will be for the Morgan City races this year? I looked on DSRA website but all I could see was last years schedule. I want to reserve my camping spot asap cause last year the only reason I got one was because someone canceled last minute!

Edit: sorry for being off topic. Found out today the Morgan City races will be held the weekend of June 24-25th. Got my spot reserved! Looking forward to another great time! Races also being held currently this weekend in Catahoula..may try to make it out there Sunday.
