Roll call factory class boats
I'm looking for a boat count of all Factory Class Race Boats both 1& 2 with spec engines 500HP, 500EFI, or 525EFI not bumped, blown, massaged, rubbed, hexed, voodoo'd, or any other term you may come up with to increase horsepower.....I know there's a bunch of them sitting in moth balls collecting dust that could be raced again.....DON'T BE SHY RAISE YOUR HANDS!!!!!!

I know you were not around yet but back at the beginning of Factory racing you were aloud to have a authorized shop rebuild your motor and they were authorized to reseal your Merc carbed 500 motor. You were aloud to clean the heads and punch it out 30 over. People were taking brand new motors and having to have this work done to them if they wanted to max out the legal power of the motor. In the end some shops were reading the rules different LOL than others and making more power. Not much but more which means a lot in spec style racing. APBA realized that this was NOT going to work !!!!!!! Every motor shop wanted to build the best motor and get more work. One supplier and one rebuilder was the only answer to the problem and YES it worked. Fast forward 15 years and all you new bucks are going backwards and slamming the people that have been there. Mark you have a handful of races under your belt and believe every word you hear as fact. There are always 2 sides to every story. Lets get back to Seans post please.

LOL you have such bad info. Where do you get this from LOL. The last time I was at that shop was 1999 LOL. 16 yeas ago when it was legal to have an outside vender seal your motor. Am I missing something or are you trying find dirt that does not exist? 8 years and what 8 races? Are we counting years washing Peters Boats? I bet your just mad that you sucked in a old boat and then thought it was the boat so you bought a new state of the art boat and still cant win a race. Go buy Doc's old boat maybe that will help LOL 8 years of wasted time and no respect. Talk about a dick you win.
