I think you will enjoy racing in NBRA. The folks there will welcome you with open arms and hearts. I have enjoyed the company of all. You will find that things run very much like the other National groups. In NBRA you even get points if you jump the gun so not all is lost. All points are racked up on a heat basis vs. on a race basis (Overall finish of the two/three heats). Enjoy! Jack

I think there are more rules for certain motors to keep them on a level playing field like there has been for past 30 years. I would get a up todate rule book before I did anything. Ralph

SE Rules

The tech rules were completely ovehauled at the last meeting for SE in 2010 The new rule books are in the process of being printed. Disregard what has been printed in this thread. You will recieve a 2010 rulebook when you join NBRA. If you have specific questions please call or PM me. The rules are basically the same but we did away with a lot of gray area. And the Tohatsu is now running under the same rules as OMC 49.9 Merc 49.9 & Yamaha. Also the Lap down rule was voted out this season.
We did a serious overhaul of the tech rules eliminating and clarifying things. Please don`t refer to the old rulebook Got questions call, pm,em, me. Will try to get the new book on the website as soon as possible.
Thanks Art Kampen Tech VP

Thanks for the update Art. I was afraid I was speaking out of turn when I mentioned the lap down item. It was a plan with good intentions when it came onboard but hard to administer and an added burden for the scorers. I know, when refereeing, I had some issues come up that caused some confusion especially at Ponca City a few years ago. Jack

No Lap Down ?

That was always a big draw for me. I will miss that. I know it is a scorers nightmare though. But it sure gave incentive to come knowing there was no chance I could not get points if I jumped the gun. I look forward to seeing what is taking its place.

I always told people about the lap down rule first as it was what set the NBRA apart from others. Then i explained the NBRA as an organization.

[johnml390]

I too am going to miss the lap down rule. That gave you the drive to keep racing if you had jumped. Now if I jump... I'm just gonna come on in. I don't wanna get in the way or tear anything up if there are no points involved. But maybe it will be voted back in, in the future. Looking forward to this season. Hopefully will be at a few more races than the last few years.

Thank you for your support!

Thanks for the facts and the invatation.

Found a nice little boat and have accumalated parts
for several different SE engines, want to assemble one this spring once I get some other projects out of the way.

I am sure that the rules will help get me and others
get on the right track.
