Thank You

[Russ Birch 45R]

As the APBA Tohatsu Chairman I would like to Thank Ed Hearn and the parity committee for the 1/2 inch height ruling.Its a good start.
I think we will be able to work with it.
This was the proposal we presented to the national meeting in L.A. this Febuary.
A big thank you to the Mod Commission for hearing us at the national meeting as well to make the tohatsu A legal motor in the Mod division.
I know you will see D-Mod grow now with the tohatsu being a big part of it.
Thanks Again

Well said Russ. Any idea when the 1/2" ruling will take affect?

New 1/2" rule

In a e-mail from Ed Hearn today he said it could be soon after the E board rule on it or it could be until Nov 2007 . That is all I know at this time.

Russ!

Hey Russ,

You need to contact Jeff Williams it seems that Ballot 9 Failed. Which was the approval of the motor for D-mod and this was voted on by the mod members.

Regards,

[Jack Stotts]

The rule changes are posted on the APBA web site in Propeller-April edition.
