If I invent a propeller that runs at 100%, no slip at all and if you want I'll charge you $100,000 for it,but you can't afford that then the team that can pay now wins all the time and the others loose? So that propeller should not be released in your example? Where do you draw a line as to when someone because of skills in building, designing, maintaining and maybe driving the boat wins all the time? I recall a person on this board who you all admire Fred K and many moons ago he designed and built an outdrive that held up to more Hp, took bigger props and went through the water with great ease and that drive was very expensive, more than only a few teams could afford and he let only a few people have it. So, when they started to win races in "classes" what happened? Wow what I wrote sounded like Hyman Roth talking about Moe Green - LOL |
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?

Just to clarify, per the article, the weight difference is 250 pounds—5,000-pound post-race minimum for Snowy Mountain, 4,750-pound post race minimum for all other boats in the class.

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???
