Re: Washington,NC Race Ruling

Well I assume RLW is referring to The Flying Condo, that big BAD 38 footer that can't get out of it's own way in flat water but will do real well in rough water. I'm guilty, it's my boat, the one that got it's a$$ whopped by all those 26' boats. Things that make you go HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM !

Re: Washington,NC Race Ruling

I think there are 4 more races if you bump up p5 to p4 and p4 to p3, you lose $600 per boat,thats $4800 times 4 is $17,200. so just give everyone fifth and we let everyone come back and pay , we KEEP ALL THE $$$$$$ and the trophies......

THE KIDS RACED A FAIR RACE, THEIR BOAT WAS INSPECTED BEFORE AND AFTER THE RACE. THE BOAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RAN USING A 54 CHIP BUT BECAUSE NO-ONE HAD ONE THEY RAN THE BOAT USING A 52 CHIP.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE THE KID'S MONEY AND TROPHY ARE. IF ANYONE KNOWS OR DISAGREES WITH ME CALL ME.

POPS.....
SBI stated that they would not bump any boats up. they all get last place points and stay in the class they are in.

anyone feel free to correct me if Im wrong. I believe thats what they said.

I agree that if SBI feels that there were discrepancies, they should give those teams some type of concession.

Innocent till proven guilty. Isnt that how it goes????

We got DUKES back. They play by the rules and are a true P5 boat.

I would be almost sure that bill was paid.
If not, none of those records meant anything on Friday.

Just curious, but were the Kilo records UIM recognized?

As for the lap times, it sure seemed a lot easier when all the P class boats had onboard/sealed GPS's. Didn't have to worry about discrepancies in lap times of inaccurate lap distances.
Just my opinion, I may be wrong...
