Well MD how did the phone conference go??

anything you can share with the rest of us??

It went great! Everyone is excited about the new year and we have some new ideas for our class. Rules have not changed at all. Some of the test things we did last year were reviewed and voted on by all.
1) Bob Mazakowsi Home Town SVL Grandfathered in one more year with his Vortec with special criteria that must be met
2) The NXT drive was found to be a bullet proof drive, but no one wants to convert to it and it will not be allowed for the 08 season
3) Our class would like to be a test class with 2x2 grid pattern starts instead of a line start
4) No ENTRY FEE's if possible and less purse to winners
5) Possibleble minor weight adjustments to help some older boats.
6) Working on a class sponsor for SVL
Those were the highlights of the call and it was really good talking to some new teams to OSS and some potential new teams on the line. It looks like a great year for SVL. SVL racers ROCK. We all had our opinions heard and together we made the right choices for our class. Our destiny is in our own hands and I am honored to be involved with such passionate racers.

Can you give us a list of teams to run OSS this season , who were on the call.

There were 9 teams on the call. Cooper couldnt make it or there would have been 10 teams. Pretty much all the SVL legal boats want to race this year together. Some will race in other Organizations as well but all want the challange of racing in a spec class. The no entry fee was a big hit for some of the less funded teams that made it hard in the past.

2 More teams have called with intent to race in SVL with us this week alone. The word is out on this great class. Its time to take this class to new hights.

Good job Randy! there is no reason that SVL should not be at the top of serious Spec racing. to get the flag all teams will have to earn it not buy it!!

Pete, Have you been drinking? Im bad but thats the worst 2 sentences I have ever read.:D
MD

no, just using a laptop and not payiing attention.

I would guess there have been a few worse, just not the norm from me I guess.

Latest news flash. The NXT drive has been given one more year to run with the SVL teams but will not be legal at the worlds. The 2 other new teams on the call are in. One has already purchased Corys old Phantom and the other team is picking up there boat this week. Welcome aboard everyone.:evilb:
MD

Does anyone have the team's number that bought Screaming Eagle? Would like to see if they want to share some of the fun with the new teams as well. Half the fleet might be rookies.
