Question 4 the scale gurus

[shann harrison]

Okay question that was brought up to me and I've been searching for answers I cannot seem to find.Seems like a gray area in the IMPBA.Okay scenario is say me for an example only.I will be registering Three scales 1st is the 1977 Anheuser-busch Natural light boat U-13 2nd scale will be 1994 Miss Exide U-9.3rd will be the 1995 T-PLus U-2.Now here it goes All are registered I have 1200 pionts for the main boat,But then it losses control smashes into the bank.I have the second boat ready for next race.Now does the 1200 pionts that I have from the U-13 go towards myself or the 2nd registered boat.Or am I S.O.L on these pionts for the 1st hull that will not race for the rest of the season??????????????????????Shann

Depends on how your district is doing your points system. In D12 each race is it's own points entity. Say you ran your T-Plus at first race & got 1st overall, that's 400. Second race you ran your Exide & finished 2nd, that's 300 points. Third race you ran your Natural Light & got 1st, that's 400 points & a season total after 3 races of 1100 points.

Okay,lets try it this way.Say the 77 U-13 is the primary boat.The others are just sidelined.samething the main hull that has raced for say 3 months the hull that you have planned to race the full season not running the other 2 even though they are registered.Now you would think that from one district to another there should be no difference in this class.Which there should not be for the reason this is a specialized class.Does the pionts awarded from races go towards the Driver or ????? Are they applied to the backup boat.This saying your plan is going for district high pionts.How does it effect this scenario.

Since you are in Canada I believe you race in Dist 16 NAMBA or Dist 2 IMPBA. If so contact your district director for clarification. His info is below.

It all depends. Each dist is different. Even in the dists there are specialized clubs that don't even race at the dist. level. So your points in those clubs are only good for that club. Your going to need to be a little more specific on what dist. Your best bet is to call the dist. director.

Not that everyone does it the same way but here is how we do it in RCU.

#1 we use the scoring system that the unlimiteds adopted in the early 70's, that is you get points towards the season title as they are scored in each heat. For example if you get 1,200 points in the first race, then that goes to your season total. In the older days of the unlimiteds, say the early 60's and before they used to award season points as was mentioned above, heat points don't matter, points only awarded by overall race finish. i.e. 400 for 1st, 300 for second, 225 for third on down with each succeeding position getting 75% of the points of the position ahead.

As for changing boats, in RCU, you name one points boat each race, if you race more than one, before the race starts. We keep separate driver and boat point standings and championships. So you can win the driver championship, but not necessarily the boat championship if you drive more than one boat, or vice versa. If you run two boats in the same race both boats get points for the boat standings, but you only get one of their points for the driver standings. So even if you drive a different boat every week, they still all count toward the championship, the limitation being only one boat's point at each race.

Not sure if that is clear, let me know if you have questions.

Shannon,

Can only talk of what we did for the last 25 years in District 2, the points go to the driver, no matter how many different boats you run.

I hope it stays the same as before! I lost a boat 2/3 through the season last year. If I hade to start over in the points with a new boat, I would just stay home.

OK So dist 14 is using drivers points, allowing different boats to be used in all the points races?

Drivers get the points, not the boats is the best way. Of course all boats have to be registered in the district too I would think.
