Question and Answer
Don, wouldn't these mods make the boats faster than you can get insurance for? I think you wanted limited speed? Looks like a Mod-U class for V bottom
Jeremy,the T racer group that is suggesting these rules are the racers that attend and support all of the races. This group is now large enough to win the vote should it be necessary to do so within the T group class. They race in T850 class and they can decide the rules under which the T850 class runs provided the rules pass at the CBF convention. Whether or not there is an increase in the insurance cost or other changes such as increased minimum weight and safety cells will be decided at the convention.
Just a reminder. Anyone with a valid 2012 Stock Outboard CBF card, owner or driver, may vote on the rule change proposals.
ANYONE with a valid 2012 Stock Outboard CBF card may also submit a rule change. It will be voted on.
So if you don't like something, be there to vote it down. If you like an idea, be there to support it. If you want to race only with gearcases that are painted red... submit the rule change. You don't need to anyones approval to submit a rule change. I'd be glad to see people other than the regulars submit changes and vote on items and help direct their sport.
Any rules changes presented to the CBF Outboard Executive at the Annual meeting will be voted on right then by the membership in attendance.
After the meeting, the rules changes that passed in the Outboard meeting, are then forwarded the top level CBF Exectuitive Board and are reviewed by them. Items viewed as safety issues or concerns are then reviewed by them and can be turned down or asked to alter them. I've only heard of this happening once. Generally they let the groups do what they want.
I have not seen a deadline issued by CBF Outboard at this point, so for now, rules changes can be written and presented to the day of the meeting.
Take part in your sport and get involved in this meeting.
