I hope this new Formula 20 class succeeds better than the initial one did in Europe (when? early '90's?). Before it could even got off the ground, the class died because Morrelli & Melvin designed the Ventilo and it was so much faster than the other boats in the class. I can't remember whether it was Gino or Pete who told me they felt kind of bad about it -- their design killing the class.

I should also add that Rick tried to organize a Formula 20 Class in North America several years ago, but it never went anywhere. I guess the time was not right. Maybe it is now.
