That's simple and to the point..less classes and more boats per class.

K.I.S.S. = keep it simple stupid

If you want to keep it simple why propose to change anything? lol I mean yeah I think we can all agree on bringing back Class 2...but beyond that...it really isnt broke...so dont try and fix it.

I dont know how this was even ever construed in anything I said, maybe it was the guy that decided to take cheap shots and not answer any questions I posed in order to have a discussion, not a mudd slinging contest.

All I ever said was change the decal on the boat to say 5; leave what is known as Class 6 alone, it has the count, besides the outrageous hp, it aint broke. As you see from the average class count per class I posted, I see no reason to have a total of 6 bracket classes, period. I mean we havent had 6 bracket classes total since my return in 2010 and boats in 3 have wanted to move up, etc. Has anyone thought to look back at what the bracket speeds were when there was a ton of boats racing in the brackets? I'll give ya a hint, its on the front page of this thread......

You say 6 isnt broke....does that mean 3-5 are? Just asking

I have always been a big supporter of less classes and larger boat counts. Just my 2 cents for what its worth.

This was just for discussion for a class 5 guy who dosent want to go 80 mph but would like to run with the new class 5 but boat length would be a issue so it dosent matter any way.

But the proposed way you out lined would work fine and limit one extra class more possible payout its somthing to think about.

Also open boats at a 105 mph could be a possible insurance problem so the speed may have to be below 100 mph.

Also for the betterment of the sport all of the boats that want to run in the 105 mph or class 2 could run in 95 mph or class 3 or adjust the speed to fit all so its a bigger boat count combine two classes into one just a thought

Anyone else tell its winter?

Listed below is when the National Championships were clinched:

Class 3: Tawas (second race of the season)
Class 4: Ocean City (first race of the season)
Class 5: Tawas (second race of the season)

You tell me...

And moving the speeds up 5mph will fix that how? If anything, the money the teams spent to travel to Mich...will be spent on props, gears and engine upgrades. If you really want to shrink the number of classes, eliminate SV, bring back class two...I bet all of 3 moves into 2. Problem solved.
And it all goes back to what Mikey said for Class 5, and many congrats to Jake on his Championship!
Im not following ya here man. I really dont think its broke.

Isn't this a school night?
