I was told that a drag motor will use approximately a 1/2 to 3/4 gallon per pass (that includes the race and the return). I would say your promax will likely be on the lighter side of that so I would imagine about 1/2 gallon per pass. In a 10 boat field (and somebody can check my math if I laid out the bracket correctly) you would need 7 passes to win. For reference, my 280 last year burned just over 5 gallons in 8 passes on the Saturday. I would think that a 6 gallon should be big enough but I would air on the side of caution and get an 8 gallon. |
