Ok, this is what the SBI rule book says.

The National Series classes will be powered by Custom and Exotic built Unlimited Horsepower engines & Mercury, Innovation, & SBIP/APBA sealed National Series racing engines. The boats are equipped with canopy systems for added safety for speeds well over
100 MPH. Our Factory Series™ Classes consist of Mono hull design manufactured offshore boats that
are sold to the general boating public for recreational use. They will be powered by Mercury, Volvo, Innovation, or SBIP/APBA sealed Factory engine packages to showcase the marine manufacturing industry’s best boats and the highest skilled race teams in the US.


APBA Offshore Racing.1.12.1. Certification and Sealing - To be eligible for competition in these classes, all individual engines of the approved type listed in paragraph 1.12. above, first must be certified and sealed prior to competition byan SBIP / APBA Offshore approved source in accordance with the then existing procedures established by SBIP / APBA Offshore, with
the “approved” seals as supplied from SBIP / APBA Offshore. IT IS THE RACERS' RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THEIR ENGINE (S) INSPECTED AND SEALED BY an SBIP / APBA Offshore approved source. If for any reason a seal is broken or the engine must be
“freshened” or repaired, the engine must be examined, repaired, serviced and re-certified by an SBIP / APBA Offshore approvedsource. Broken or missing seals will be grounds for disqualification and other penalties. Currently the ONLY Approved Sealing & Servicing Center is:

OK, so Mercury is on the list, now can someone explain why they were DQed?

Re: Lucas Oil current points leader
 

So has Muscle be reinstated or are their Mercury Seals considered "Non Current" ? :confused:

Re: Lucas Oil current points leader
 

Maybe if your so concerned....pick up a phone and call one of the Muscle guys yourself....or SBI/APBA...for the answer...
