Eye on Australian TitleAdded 28th Mar 2008
Victoria, Australia, February, 2008 - The second Victorian round of the Australian offshore series was held last weekend at Williamstown and the Grumpy Mongrel / BRP combination competing in the Super Vee Lite Class again delivered another first place for the team. The event, which is free to spectators, marks round four of seven in the Australian Offshore Superboat Championships - Australia’s ‘Formula One on water’. Grumpy Mongrel is a 6.3m Heartbeat boat powered by an Evinrude 250HO Etec outboard with driver/throttle - Peter Jack and navigator - James Callam. “Once again we were rapped in the way our E-Tec 250HO performed.” “Even though our prop selection was not perfect on the day, the sheer torque of this motor was able to give us excellent acceleration out of the corners, something that will be very important in the upcoming round in Sydney” said driver Peter Jack. With the instant throttle response and top end speed of a lighter, quieter engine and the durability of a sturdy, robust design, our engines give you the power and responsiveness every boater craves. Evinrude E-TEC's DQR (Durability, Quality, and Reliability) reinforces how confident the company is with their product. BRP has chosen to offer a full 3 year warranty on all Evinrude E-TEC motors, even in the racing environment! Evinrude E-TEC outboards require no scheduled dealer maintenance - that's right, zero - for the first three years or 300 hours of normal recreational use. Not even gearcase lube. You'll never have to change the oil or the oil filter, which can cost several hundred dollars each year for other technologies. Look out for the Australian Offshore Superboat Championships on Sydney Harbour this 8th & 9th March 2008, racing between Fort Denison to Shark Island. Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP), a privately-held company, is a world leader in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution and marketing of motorized recreational vehicles. Its portfolio of brands and products includes: Ski-Doo® and Lynx® snowmobiles, Sea-Doo® watercraft and sport boats, Evinrude® and Johnson® outboard engines, direct injection technologies such as Evinrude E-TEC™, Can-Am™ all-terrain vehicles and roadsters, and Rotax® engines and karts. |
This win makes 3 first places in a row and even at this stage of the season Grumpy Mongrel is well on the way to the Australian Championship title for 2008 with 1800 points, an overall lead of 875 points ahead of 2nd place.
