Rules
 

Who is in charge of writing the rules this year for offshore?
OSS?
APBA?
SBI?
I need their contact information for some new products that we want to race.
Thanks in advance.

SBI and APBA

Re: Rules
 

Talk to Pops at APBA, John C at SBI and you should start with the racers in OSS. If they like it, they might vote it in. Also speak with George Linder, he's the technical director for OSS.

What's the new product?

Re: Rules
 

I need to correct that to products. The Cats and Vees have my tongue for now. I hate getting banned before we get started. I'll let you know Ron.

Thanks for the info.

shifter,

There is going to be a meeting in Georgia for the new group. I would say try to attend or get someone to attend for you. I would think Nigel could represent you guys if he is planning on being there.

Re: Rules
 

I talked to Paul W, and John C.

Both series seem to be running there orginizations like a democracy and not a Dictatorship.

There were some things from last year about people having the voting ability and not running the class or the series they voted in. I feel that there should be a review and a revote at the end of the season to eliminate this kind of thing.

Does anyone know when the voting is going to happen?

I appreciate the time they took to answer my questions. I know they are very busy.

Thanks,
Pat Weismann

Pat, there are class reps you can talk to for SBI/APBA and they can propose rule changes and if they have support of 5 teams they can present it to the board of governers. The board of governers will review and send out for a vote to registered equipment owners or reject it. Keep in mind, having been to the meetings in Atlanta, this is my best assesment on how it works.There are more details involved but your best bet would be to contact your class rep and John C or Pops can tell you who that is.
