Get Pete around, there is just enough space to dig a lake in your back garden Tony.
The horses may have to go though!

thats all very well, but can we have some kind of handicap system, or me and the T Dog will be at a distinct disadvantage.

Stadium racing. Very popular with the Nips, betting is the name of the game. Its like greyhound racing but with water & boats. They run with Yamato outboards.

See:-
Tech info on Stadium racing (Google Chrome, if you use it, will translate it)
Stadium racing (in English).
Yamato - Mike Ward

We have two 12' Class B Hal Kelly Jinx utility racers (1950's - early 60's) running Yamato's in the CMBA - they have been clocked at 55mph on GPS!
