I have been wanting to look into this for a long time and I just can't seem to find anything out about how to get started in this.

I'd like to get involved in powerboat racing can anyone point me in the right direction of how to go about it?

Does anyone on here go powerboat racing?

Well if there is someone on there who could PM the admin that would be fantastic.

Or can find an alterative email address.

Thanks for your help

Dont know if you would be interested but check out Zapcats, best way I can describe it is like motorcycle sidecar racing but on water.

Just as an idea what to expect.....
