How the heck do we enforce it?
If I joined today and clicked on "IMPBA rule book" I don't get the rules. Well, I get some of them. Most of them even. So new guys that are just starting up can't possibly know what is legal. I know it says that:
*note: an updated version of the rulebook will be uploaded shortly...
But come on guys, what are we doing? The rules for electric are posted in the December of 2008 Roostertail. If a newb wants to know the rules he can sift through old issues of the Roostertail. Provided of course that someone tells him he needs to.
2008? Last time I checked it's 2010. There's really no excuse for that much procrastination.
So....is it enforceable? How do you hold a racer to standard that you don't distribute to your new members?
I just finished 6 new builds for 2010. Now that it's done I've had someone point out that one of them might not be legal in IMPBA. Sighting an obscure rule that differse from NAMBA and that's NOT in the book. WTF?
Guess I could just not run IMPBA. Problem solved.
....sorry to vent guys but I'm annoyed.
