Yeah I want to get back into racing but why should I go spend hundreds of thousands of dollars building a boat and race my self most of the season i might as well keep runing poker runs. And I guess what needs to be done is have a hardened set of rules and dont adjust them just because you got a 200mph boat that needs a class and you throw money at the sancioning body to get your boat in and the class changes . Keep the rules once they are written. tech each boat before and after ever race if it is deemed to not fit into the confines of the rules then you're disqualified.
Equipment owners control the rules not some tech guy or sponsor.

The problem with that is , everybody who has a different engine...or wants one...sets a different rule..
i.e. Super cat 750, Super cat 850, Cat Extreme, Super Cat Lite, and Turbine class...all run the same hulls...confusing the fans, ...and keep the top guys like JT, Steve Curtis, Billy Moore, and Steve Page from racing against each other.
Bad plan IMHO.

JT and Billy are hired guns aren't they? Steve Page has a new 850 boat.
Cat light is the best of the bunch you mentioned. Money doesn't win in that class BALLS do. Who is willing to hang them out?
850 is a nice class. Fast enough. If Billy and JT wanted to compete thats seems to be the way to go.
CRC runs a extreme and a 850. The other extreme boats could do the same. They seems to be able to afford it. Then they could RACE like boats and Parade for there fans and sponsors.
It exists its better than some plan. No need for excuses.
It seems to be a strong foundation and well structured for equipment owners.

For the cost of the turbine BOATS , one team has 3 boats, a fleet of SUPER VEE LIGHTS could be bought and the ins would have their own

Rich, (or any one)
just fer kicks and giggles
do you think we would be ok with the following classes for race day
F1 -1 -525
F2 - 2 525s
850 Cat
850 V
Run a couple of p classes the day before (Kinda like a Busch race the day before a Nascar event))
and at the end or beginning the turbines for show untill they had enough for a full class (at least 4)
Is that just to simple a plan ??

I roll in Friday Morning. It would be nice if I could have made the golf thing. Are you joining to swing a club? Sounds like it will be fun.
