I agree this is not changing the current classes just putting ideas out there.

Under 32'
Open or closed??? - F1 proved they can NOT race together so a decision would need to be made.
Drive - speedies allowed or bravo style only?
Engine Size - maintain A-class 510s?
Prop - ?
RPM - ?
Weight - ?
Step vs. non - ?

I'd like to see the fastest start at the rear as well.


I'm thinking this may need to go in a new thread...

Even though i broke alot in 08 ,,,,,,,yes i agree,,,,would make more sence.

AGREE again ,,,wow.
But with the drive it wouldn't matter ,,i think because a Bravo exelarates faster then a speedy.

I put that in as a "round-about" way of limiting power. I'd guess a bravo starts losing reliability pretty steadily after 600, especially in a racing environment.

Yes ,,,i quess they do.

Thats wy i have a speedy !!

But since there are not so many speedy's out there i would not sep. them from the bravo's.

As far as i know there are 5 boats under 32 with a speedy and 2 of them are canopied. (Phantoms)

The other 2 are 2-32 Activators and my 32 Aero-tek.

Guy's Extreme also...

Your right and i forgot an other phantom which my buddy ownes,,,,,,

That would make it 7 boats total ,,,if they all would race ,lets say max 800 HP 510 ci no blower,,,that would be a cool class,,,to add to any race .

And yes we could go as fast as the boat would go ,,,,cool i dont need to dick around any more ,,,just slap my 32 pitch on and go,,,,,yuwhoo 100 + here we go .???? LOL

I respectfully disagree. Breaking out of your speed in my opinion is cheating. It may be unintentional, but you should be
DQ'd nevertheless. (Been there myself) The penalty, in my
opinion, should be harsher.

My thoughts were an effort to make it more clear to the spectators as well as be fair to the racers. General spectators never understand why a boat that broke part way thru can finish ahead of a boat that runs all the laps. The "cheating" part is a valid point but how many boats really can't run over their class max???? I'd be suprised if it was more than a couple.

I still think you should lose position if you breakout, just not behind those that didn't finish.

maybe you should lose the lap you break out on? break out once, only lose 1 lap. break out every lap, you finish last then.

if 5 boats start a race, 1 pulls off instantly and the other 4 battle it out for 30 minutes finishing the race and forcing each other to break out, the one that pulled off shouldn't win.
