100 MPH CLUB
Gulf Oil Corporation
1949 - 1968
The 100 Mile Per Hour Club is conducted by the Gulf Oil Corporation. It was established in 1949 to recognize those who have driven a power boat 100 mph or better in APBA sanctioned regattas on a course approved for records. The requirements for membership are included herein for the information of APBA drivers who may wish to qualify. Awards are made annually by the Gulf Oil Corporation. Nominations for membership in 100 MPH Club must be submitted by referee to APBA National Headquarters prior to December 1.
  • 1. In order to be eligible to compete in a time trial for entry into the 100 Mile Per Hour Club, the boat must have finished first, second, or third in a heat scheduled for the class in which the boat is registered and at least four of the contesting boats must have been of the class for which the heat was scheduled. This qualification to compete in a time trial for the 100 Mile Per Hour Club can be made in the same regatta where the time trials are held or at any A.P.B.A. sanctioned regatta within the past twelve months where the boat was raced under the same measurement certificate at the time of the trial.
  • 2. In order to be eligible to drive a boat in a 100 Mile Per Hour Club time trial, the driver must have qualified the particular boat that he is using in the 100 Mile Per Hour time trial as set out in paragraph 1 of this rule.
