Any chance of combining class 5 & 6 ?
Any chance we will see a return of class 2 ?
or are we good to go for 2011 ?
*just thinking out loud

True but I just heard people talking about it at O.c. and like I said just talking out loud.. I don't even think we (or they) can change rules for another year.
I like class 6 and would like to see more boats like Akula out racing! It's a great way to get hooked on the sport without the big $$$$ and big headaches.

Maybe, we should look at the placing and points for a break out boat/DNS boat/ Last place boat. I know Gary had some concerns.
This year we raced 7 plus the worlds. Scored in 6. Dropped worst finish. Thoughts?

Maybe
3 Races on the 'East" Coast area
3 Races in the Michigan area (Mid-west)
1 Worlds Down south
Have a East coast Champion (no money, no trophy just glory)
Have a Mid-East Champion (no money, no trophy just glory)
and a over all points champion.
Than have a east and west shout-out for the World Title down south.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I know Gary does not agree with me on this but keep the
"breaking out" as a capital offense.
Bracket racing is all about set up, driving and throttle control
.. just leave it as a capital offense
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Each pit area is required to have a Bikini beach blonde. This
blonde would be used for public relations
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Start money instead of purse until the economy turns around
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Return class 2, TKO and Bull on the beach look like lumbering
giants in #3. The OB cats don't really stand a chance against
those two.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Each boat must run a Michigan Mafia sticker
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Breakout should be capital offense, need to have serious consequences.

I like Rick's Blonde Bikini rule!
Don't like Rick's Mafia sticker rule.
How about class 5 and 6 start together, and run the same laps. This allows the fastest class 6 boats to race the slower class 5 boats. This would put all the single engine V's running together-kind of like the old days with Production , Modified and Sport running the same laps and racing each other-but being scored as seperate classes. Just a thought.
