Introduction
We race under the Stock Outboard boat racing division of the
Canadian Boating Federation and the American Power Boat Association. It's grass
roots racing similar to Go-Karts but we are always at the water instead of cooking on the
asphalt. Stock Outboard racing is sanctioned, outboard powered boat racing with
commercially available equipment running on standard gasoline. It's circle racing on a
1.25 mile oval with flying starts and a 12 boat maximum per heat. Hydroplanes and
Racing Runabouts are your options with speeds ranging from 35mph to 80 mph. This
class diversity lets anyone participate from age 9, with an emphasis on family
involvement. Stock Outboard racing is unique because of the tight competition and
camaraderie among participants.
We are currently racing in two classes.
"A" Stock Hydroplane (ASH) and "A" Stock Runabout (ASR). Both
utilize the same size engine. These are the two most competitive classes in Stock
Outboard racing in North America and have a wide age of participants.
In the 1997 season we put in 15 days of racing plus the week long
U.S. APBA Nationals. We competed in races across Ontario, New York, Michigan, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Some of these events had coverage in local
newspapers and television stations and the Team Gang~Green ASR boat was shown racing in
first place on prime-time news in Toledo. We also were highlighted on the
Speedvision tv show "Inside The APBA" for winning the US North East
Divisionals.
What Can Sponsorship Do For You?
- Our trailer has a large box on it which contains all the engines
and equipment we need. It's traveled across Ontario, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It's basically a rolling billboard for your name!
- The trailer holds 2 boats, which are out side the box and very eye catching, also with
supporter names on them.
- A name associated with a winning team is a winning product/company. The Gang-Green
Racing Team has won 6 Canadian High Point Championships including two in one
year for two different classes!!

outfits in the Toronto International Boat Show, Toronto Sportsmen's Show,
