I went last year and it was a blast. Can't wait. And, in case you racers have not heard that the first SDBA race in OKC will be 1000 ft also. This will be the perfect tune up.

The pay out is 70% for 1st and 30% for 2nd.
It's 100% pay back for each class. It does not make any difference weather the entry paid was 300.00 or 350.00 all the money paid in a class will be paid back. As for second chance there must be 8 boats in a class over the top 16 qualifers, they are paid 70% for 1st and 30% for 2nd, that money is for those 8 boats only. So if you take the 8 boats in second chance and multiply there entry fee, let's just all 8 paid 300.00 times 8 would be 2400.00, and 1st would get 70% of that and 2nd would get 30%. Now if you have 26 boats in a class the money for the to entries over 24 will be add into the top 16 qualifers so there money is increased more.  :smile19:

Brian :
Did the new engine do what you wanted it to ? Did you play with the nitrous ?

Sounds like you are heading in the right direction . Good Luck in OKC ..
