| [/quote] With regard to T850's in the T750 class...at our Maple Lake gathering LC and I were running T750 boats (locked in a heated battle I might add) and Hydroid Jr literally drove between us (in my Voodoo...the last place one...:)) and had half a lap on us in a lap!! This was his first time in an... |

| PS: I concede, my oversight, Little Charger rightfully gets day 1 pass out of 750 purgatory to run wth big dogs, having been bounced and suckled on the hind teat long enough, he's earned plump rewards. Go LC, kick ass!... I still think new,new 850 Newbies should work through 750 for a couple of hea... |

| We also have another feature in the Fair Competition Rule which can adjust the Final Heat of the day and also the points. Provided we have the boat count in T850 to run heats and we have at least 5 legal boats. The final would be only those boats. The Consolation Final provided there is time in the ... |

| So...for 90% of the issues weight and compression solve the problem. Those two rules are GOOD...and they WILL keep guys in check. I'll let Mike speak to his motor but other than the carbs and LWP his motor is a CES clone (I know the head is but the tuner could be anything...I forgot about the carbs... |

| Here is the problem we have put ourselves in because we have allowed certain mods to let pass in order to get a boat count. As I mentioned before most of the mods have done nothing to improve the performance and the top boats appear to be legal. If the racer runs mid pack no one cares what they run.... |

| What I would do and I am sure many would not like it. I would go by the rule book...period! If you are not going to follow the rules then why have them. All boats must pass the mninum 1-2 test requirement to even be allowed to race. [1] it must be legal weight and legal compression. [2] the motor m... |

| Good replies guys, that is what I was hoping for. It really doesn't make too much difference in what you run. The boats have a natural hull speed and you can over power them, under weight them and in most cases gain NOTHING! You need to be able to drive the boat and have a boat that HANDLES! Then yo... |

| [quote="Hounddog"] However, say we get a winning boat. Now what do we do. The winning boat owner will angue that there are other illegal boats running, so why are we picking on him? THAT IS WHERE THE DOMINATING PART OF THE RULE WAS SO IMPORTANT! Here is an example of the problem. I loan Z... |

| I understand your concerns Erik, but I don't think we have a set maximum speed threshold for a legal boat (that is not in the rules), the fair competition rule was removed from the rules at the CBF level (I'm sure most will honour it thou)[/quote] The Fair Competition Rule is still there. They delet... |
