The Racing Program
The Orange Bowl Regatta activities at Marine Stadium consist of two distinct types of events-Closed Course racing and the very unique Invitational "250" Speed Classic. THE "250" SPEED CLASSIC The "250" Speed Classic utilizes a combination of the most exciting characteristics of both closed course competition and of endurance racing. The race will be of 100 laps duration on the 2-1/2 mile Marine Stadium oval with the winner being that boat which is first to complete the 250-mile distance. Ordinarily, such a race would fall under the endurance classification with the contestants pacing themselves at considerably slower than maximum capable speed in order to preserve their equipment for a stronger run near the finish. But this is not the case in the "250" because of "lap prize money." Each of the 100 laps will be a contest in itself with a $50 prize going to the leader of each lap. $5,000 will be awarded in this manner by individual lap sponsors and because of it, you can be sure that the boys in the drivers' seats will be giving it all they have rather than pacing themselves. An additional $5,000 in prize money is at stake, of which the winner will collect no less than $1,000 and possibly as much as $1,700. This makes the total winning capability worth $6,700. On the other hand, the fact remains, that running at a faster pace will normally necessitate more pit stops for repairs, so it's likely that you can look for the lead to change on many occasions. Also, this year, it is mandatory that each boat make one pit stop and a quantity of fuel be taken aboard. Another exciting feature is the fact that contestants may go to the pits, even under tow, make unlimited repairs and return to the race. |
| CLOSED COURSE RACING
In CLOSED COURSE racing, boats run in particular classes as established by the American Power Boat Association rules. Each CLOSED COURSE race consists of two heats, a heat being a three-lap race on the 1 2/3-mile oval course. Points are awarded to each contestant for each heat based on finishing positions and the class winner is that boat which scores the most combined points for both heats. In the case of a point tie for first place, the winner is that boat with the least elapsed time for both heats. When there are too many entries to make up one field, the boats are divided for elimination heats and the boats scoring the most points compete in the final heat. A.P.B.A. POINT SYSTEM OF SCORING
