There isn't a form of class racing out there that does not adjust the rules to keep parity. It's essential to the overall progression of the sport and the class. They had four years of dominance and that's plenty long before the organizers reel it in. Any longer and you will watch the class die as people begin to drop out.

You Draw the Line right under their Name....Winner It'll always be a Tricky/Sticky situation when someone shows up with the Newest, Bestest, "Lightest" Fastest boat and dominates the circuit. there is no right or wrong, It IS the evolution happening right now...

Just curious since there have been rumors in the past about the engine not being legal, is sbi doing any inspections to see if the engine is legal?

As long as the boat meets the rule requirements they should not be penalized becasue they built a good machine.

So this weight penalty.... does the weight have to be permanently afixxed, or can they just find a fat chick and teach her to work the sticks???

what makes a purpose-built Outerlimits raceboat anymore of a "shell" than a purpose-built Phantom and Extreme. It's not as if those boats have cabins up front.
