The Silly Season

[pav225]

We know someone who recently ordered a Yamato from the UK. Had it 10 days later. Not sure if that's unique, but we got one pretty quickly last year.

In 2018 I would like to address the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) on reducing the import restrictions. Anyone have any good connections?

After reading all these posts I'm reminded of what Albert Einstein said, " you cannot solve the problem with the same thinking that created it". It is going to take an idea that is so simple no one thinks it will work and make it work. Our future is in our hands, so let's preserve it for a long time.

To have spectators , you need 3-5k$. You need someone working on it for 3 months. I don't see that in APBA races.

And if we don't adjust our mentality to modern inflation the Yamato nirvana will lull us all into an outboard racing coma.

Wacusee Speedboats will accept any number of orders for new BSRs for $1800 for boats order this weekend with deposit checks arriving within two weeks.

I do support Sidewinder, it will be good for Stock Outboard for them to succeed. It will be bad for Stock Outboard if they fail.That being said, if they can't solve their availability issues soon, we may have to go another direction. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get new Yamato's as well. It is very difficult to grow the sport under these circumstances

In the works....

Well then, I repeat. Specators=$$$$$. We need to relieve the financial burden from the drivers and clubs.

And, how many spots are available in and MHRA Driver's School? Has anyone tried hosting a weekend long drivers school with intermittent exhibitions instead of a half day followed by a weekend of racing?

[ryan_4z]

Word, Don. You make total sense. Dropping 20ssH issue until we handle other matters.

[ryan_4z]

The problem is, if we grow all our current classes our race day is still endless, and we still have more classes not less. Less classes is simpler for the organization, the club and the racer.

Ask people to donate materials, hardware, money, or time. Build 3 identical boats at Trolians (I haven't asked Brian) and have boats available for people to race in BSH. Get people to donate old props. Get rigs ready to run...and easy to buy.

It's clear that these ideas are to help SW. So just be honest about it and quit trying to disguise it as helping Stock. Let's work to help them sell more motors. I'd fully support that. I think we can be a lot more successful working together, than proposing plans that will jam the (120+) 20ssH drivers.

I knew it would finally come out. Thanks for being honest John! Steve 10-Z

So 300ssr is a bad ride. It can’t be worse than my Service C which goes 52 ish.

Com on man
