So here are the rules moving forward for FORMULA.

2016 FORMULA RULES

AGE REQUIREMENT: 16

NEW :
1- Greg Keeling's Allison XR2002 +150lbs ( this only applies if Greg is the one driving this boat !!) If another "Rookie" driver pilots this boat then #2 below will apply.
2- Anyone that wins 3 ( Three ) consecutive race days will be assessed a +50lb weight adder.

Class rules may change at any time to allow for equality and growth.


Now I also feel these two rules should be part of things moving forward.

-Manual trim switch only. No trim timers or trim limiters / auto trim what so ever
-12V trim only.

Let me know your thoughts. In keeping with an entry level theme I think these two rules should be a part of things and keep costs under control which keep competition a little more equal.

All looks good to me.
With regards to the 2 new proposed rules / ideas;
If the plan is to keep cost down I can understand the "no trim computer" idea (although i dont agree with it) however 24v trim can be put together for about $50 if you have a sled battery kicking around.

I was thinking of going with 24v trim for 2016

i already have a jetski battery/ tray and planned on 24v trim aswell. timers and stuff ill never get into but a big boat like mine needs some quick trim!!

rest seems fine to me. I just wanna be clear I AM running a high perf mota 2.4 Bridgeport. 240 hp. I could show up first race with low comp heads if anyone has an issue with that. fine either way by me but if I get smoked ill have the other set in the truck
