[Gootz 142M]

ROFLMBO Ian, Ian thats funny

All classes combined. A-D, hydros and runabouts. 1/2 mile course, 30 laps. oh 1 mandatory pit stop

Sweet....Now let me see where did I put that Ropp boat?????

Stock Rules

Raise the Tohatsu to 0 and allow 4 blade props in D stock.. the boats are going as fast as some of th FE class and the 4 blade would make a safer ride .. Don't complain about the cost.. If you run D you can afford a new prop!!

since this thread...

...hasn't been taken very seriously to date, I thought I'd make a proposal.

Proposal: Rename all Stock Outboard Classes as follows:

Old New
ASR 13.2ciR
ASH 13.2ciH
BSR 14.94ciR
BSH 14.94ciH
CSR 24ciR
CSH 24ciH
DSR 43.9ciR**
DSH 43.9ciH**
25SSR 24.4ciR*
25SSH 24.4ciH
20SSH 20ciH


*other legal engines will be as follows:
· 19.94ciR (Hot Rods)
· R0.500-24ciR (Yamato 102 & 302)
· R0.5625-24ciR (Yamato 102 & 302)

**other legal engines will be as follows:
· 42.6ciR (Tohatsu)
· 42.6ciH (Tohatsu)


Reason: To make it more understandable for the lay person who watch our boat races.

...and let's face it this is American, we ain't on no metric system!

Now THAT is funny! And I'd support it, seriously.

That way all four spectators do not become confused about the class designations.
Now if we can just do something about those confusing clock starts...How about Mandatory LeMans starts?

[Gunjumper]

LOL Mark, good point...

[Fast Jack]

Come on Pat !!!

I figure the 13,000 points I got this year cost about $ 1.00 each. I hate sometimes to spend the money but as we know it co$ts $$$ to race. Now that Jack is running it seems to take twice the time, and I am going slower in direct relationship to him going faster!! He is adding a J runabout to the mix. Looks like we are going to need a hired crew man for next season. I think you will win the award this season for used up parts, boats, motors..Probibly rival the season that I used up a truck, trailer and 2 boats... Your pal - Shawn

Mark,
Being from the great state of MI and living nearby to the home of the big 3 automakers, I would have thought you would have seen many signs that the metric system has creapt into the US. Last I checked, it was back in the 70's when engine size was in ci (327, 351, 440, etc). Today, every engine from every manufacture is listed in Liters (3.9, 5.0, 5.9, etc).

[sam]

426=7 liters ... not by coincidence

most people think those odd numbers were just pulled out of a hat, not so

440, actually 442ci ... 7.25 liters,

302 ... so close to 5 liters is isn't funny

... we've been on metric longer than most realize ...

What are the big topics for the National meeting?

What are the big topics for the National meeting?

Branding, Marketing Strategy and Publicity should be at the top of the list as far as I am concerned. How many more years will this sport be able to support it self without the help of sponsors and spectators? How does the sport plan to support it self in the coming years?

#1. I would like to hear the current Sidewinder progress ?
