The Power of Green.

The off season in racing usually refers to the teams having a well earned rest from the previous seasons racing, preparing their crafts for the demanding season ahead , and undertaking development of components and race crafts to ensure the best possible results are immediate.This is also the case for  "The Real Thing Racing Team".

Having shown excellent speed at venues around the country, the team has entrusted long time engine builder Mitch, from MK Racing Performance Specialties to prepare 2 new power plants for the upcoming season.

Looking for more manageable and higher power outputs, Mitch has been busy preparing 2 new engine  combinations designed for the longest and shortest or courses around Australia.

"The stresses that these engines encounter is like no other form of motor sport." Mitch said when asked of the new combinations.

"They are basically a Top Alcohol Drag Racing motor that we need to manage for long long periods of time , when compared to the applications used in Drag Racing. Custom built components , exact machining tolerances, and a  methodical approach to assembly are all paramount. Our engine maintenance program has also changed radically, these engine will produce 2000+ horsepower and run between 7500 and 8000 RPM. " Mitch also added.

Look for The Real Thing to again be amongst the best in the business in Australian Unlimited Power boat racing this season.
