    APBA Rule Change Ballot: Vote on it and mail it. You type and talk about it all year, now put it in the mail and give yourself a chance to get your way.

    One particular ballot item that is important to me… is changing the number of races scored toward high points per season from 14 back to 12, in MOD Outboard.

    #1 Reason for Change: For at least the past seven seasons, probably more… there have been far more drivers competing in 12 events than 14. Changing this rule will enable more drivers to complete a full season based on past trends. In my opinion, there is no reason to establish extra long seasons that are unrealistic for the vast majority of our membership to attend or support.

    The previous information is based on the attached graph, created from membership participation statistics available on the APBA website. Check it out. Draw your own conclusions and vote.

    Thanks,

    Since I don't run mod I don't really have a dog in this fight BUT, whenever this comes up as a stock item (pretty much every year) I argue against it for this reason: we should never do anything that might negatively affect local races. If a racer gets to 12 he might sit out the next races, if he gets to 12 and is still chasing points he might figure out how to attend MORE races, that is what we are trying to do is encourage more participation. This COULD (not will) have the opposite effect.

      Tony-
      I'm not nocking you or your thinking but I have seen just the opposite as well. Race minimal races early in the year, say 3, including WinterNats Divisionals and Nationals (all 3 bonus races) and see where you are. Then finish out the year after that chasing and choosing.

      Now back to the Mod discussion, That's why I like the Divisionals as a non prequal for Nats. Run them after Nats if you want and make them have more meaning to high point and HOC. 12 is still 6 weekends at a minimum!

      I have 200cc (OMC A) and 250cc (Hot Rod) pieces, parts and complete motors available in stock form. Serious inquiries pm or call.
