700 cc HYDRO APBA PRO
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
The 1980 PRO National Championship for class 700 cc hydro is dedicated
to the memory of the late Jim Stone from Orange Park, Florida. Jim died
of injuries received in the OD World Championships last April. He was the
defending National Champion in this class and also holds the World Competition
Record of 98.96 miles per hour. In 1978 Jim won the 500 cc hydro National
Championship, national high point champion in 250 cc, 350 cc and 850 cc
hydros and was inducted into American Power Boat Association Hall of Champions.
Jim is greatly missed by the racers, pit crews, their families, and his
fans.

Most motors in this class are Koenig built in West Berlin. Some drivers
prefer the American built Merc-Quincy typically identifiable by the open
tuned exhaust stacks. If water conditions are good the lightweight wooden
gydros will reach speeds of up to 110 mph. The engines will develop between
130 and 150 horsepower at 9,500 to 11 ,000 RPM's. They use no gasoline.
Thefuel is methanol with castor oil or a synthetic oil mixed with it to
provide lubrication.
A maximum of twelve drivers can compete and the champion is the driver
with the highest point total of two heats.
Thanks to John Nebelecky for providing this race program. |
