I am interestered in finding out what people think a competitive speed is for heat racing XLS 27 hydro.
I did notice the Speed Week II at the end of the year. We will see how Huntsville goes and if the new boats are ready for December.Glenn Quarles said:Kurt, are you going to be able to make it to Valdosta again this year? I sure hope so!

Sure hope to next year. I have been working on a motor for three years now and I thinks it's ready. Just now getting to the boat building. I have been borrowing boats for the past two years. So we'll see how the winter goes.shoboat said:Kurt,
I doubt if many XLS 27 Hydros are even running 80 MPH let alone Heat Racing
at that speed. Not too many boats are racing in the 80's consistantly. Are you
thinking of racing again? Good luck with the Str.Aways this weekend. Hope the
2170's can break the record.
Thanks,

Lohring,lohring said:The latest Quickdraw "kit" engine has a very different cylinder, a hardened sleeve, a new head button, a backplate with advanced ignition timing, and a Perry pump boosted carb. We ran the new engine with a Perry pump and a modified WYK (barrel type) carb and our last year's Quickdraw pipe.
I expect that heat racing riggers will be in the high 80s to low 90s with this engine. It may take some boat redesign. I'm going to put a rear exhaust Quickdraw in my old Ellison rigger. I'll see how it works.
