Mike,
There have been some proposals written for IMPBA to add classes to the US1 list. Sport 20 is one of them. There is a board meeting tomorrow. If it passes into a 1 year trial for this year, then it will be eligible for US-1 racing. More to come.

awesome.. thanks!

Mike is single F hydro on the list for consideration?

Doc, I'm surprised you all are not running Single F at the Internats even as a specialty class?

Nobody wrote up anything for Single F hydro to be considered.

Brad, I don’t have much input to the Huntsville Club
I would talk to Mark Grim or Mark Bullard

I am not suprised. There are a LOT of single F hydros. I guess everyone that has a single F are happy to race F twins.

Im sorry, I thought you were part of the Huntsville Club.

Any IMPBA member just needs to submit a proposal with 5 Signatures and get it to IMPBA office for Single F, thats the first step.

Ron they decided not to go with a host hotel and just list some popular ones at reasonable pricing. June evidently is a big wedding month and hotels fill up super quick.

Mike, F hydro historically was a SINGLE CLASS. Only in the last 10-12 years did twins that fit in displacement were able to run with the single F boats.

I was musing and I was wondering whether a boat should be able to get 2 US-1’s. Sport 20/40 and the same boats run 20/40 hydro. F hydro twin and twin class, when the other classes of hydro and mono are not able to do likewise?

It is a conundrum. I don’t have an opinion either way. It is something to consider maybe OR MAYBE NOT.
