A, B, and C Runabout at the 2016 NBRA Short Course Nationals in Pineville, LA?

I have been in contact with some race teams that are interested in coming to race with us at this event. But are worried that their particular classes may not have enough show up to actually be able to race which has them a bit shy to make the trip over. Some wanting to come from the Florida area.

Wondering who all is planning or is willing to bring their smaller runabouts.. A, B, and C Runabouts? I know we are going to attempt to have a B and C Runabout up and going for this event. But will have to see what time permits on our end as far as getting it together before the race. Trying to get 5 or so lined up that way they/we can run for a title. All of you smaller runabout folks ponder on it. We could definitely use you down here.

For those unaware (Just for quick reference).. The A Runabout is the Stock 80, restricted 102-302, Hot Rod A, etc. The B Runabout is the Mod. 80, Stock 102-302, Hot Rod B, Merc 25XS, B1 OMC, etc. The C Runabout is (all legal B Runabouts), Mod. 102-302, 35 OMC, C Merc, etc. (Has been my experience that many folks do not realize what is legal in the A and B Runabouts and therefore never actually know they have legal engines to add another class to their schedule.)

Great post John! It would be great to see more runabouts at our races.

John--We can bring: 1 A Runabout, 1 B Runabout and 2 C Runabouts. I believe it was decided at the National Meeting to have both Championship races run the 3 heat format, meaning each class will run once over the weekend. I think if we run half the classes for 3 heats on Saturday and half the classes on Sunday for 3 heats that we will have the best chance of participation in these runabout classes. It will be pretty hard for us to field all of these classes on Saturday and then do it again on Sunday.
