    These suggestion on this forum are very basic and actually are the same rules used by the full size racing series U1. Lane is picked for you by race control and boats must be on plane at the start and faster boats advance to final. The only difference is we race clockwise they race counter...

    LaMans starts would cure a lot of problems from milling to jumps starts to choosing a lane Great Idea I'm going to suggest it at this weekend's club race and see how it works Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

    I like the idea of the on plane mill witch would also stop the same person being in lane one all the time potentially. In Namba they creepy crawl the start in lane one and if you pull in front of them they call a wash down because you accelerated to get in front of them. Sent from my VS985 4G...

    How boats can fit in lane one for a legal start because if you stick 6 in there let's do it but if you have to mantain a lane then there's a problem. So you must think that the boat in lane one winning 95% of the time is really racing and they have the best equipment. I takes 5-7 mph to pass on...

    A paper clip shape should not require you to go left unless you use different paper clips or unless you go negative going into the corner. I would hope that being a CD you could watch one boat take and hold his lane up to the start of a race with other boats driving over the top of the lane one...

    A paper clip shape you should not have to go left unless your negative entering the corner. How is this systems working now for attracting new boater. Boating is declining not growing and it's needs new ideas to possibly attract a new group Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

    I want people to get involed but if I was sitting on the shore watching I would say to myself where is the racing at no passing no challenge for the lead as they started is how they finished BORING. We need to race not play follow the leader and be okay with that. Look at the Talledaga race in...

    If your District has an 8 race series in those races you should run full out and not just cruze and capture points. When that race weekend is over you will start at 0 points the next race. What that will create is competition and actual racing then at the series end the winners from the...

    Look at how old these rules are in Namba they need to be changed for gas if nothing else. We still run 6 laps and in the Nitro days that was fine and FE with gas we could go 10 if not more. Everybody is going to say we have records at 6 laps but we can have records at 10 -12 laps also plus...

    I also agree with that and put that as point #2 in my rant. We in District 19 crawl to the line at 2-3 mph and before the tone start moving left to right to unload the prop while protecting lane one. I thought there was a rule about this in Namba but was told that was only for Scale boats must...

    John, I could not agree with you more about passing front the back and giving slower boats lane one of they pill draw for it. I've been running boats for 20 plus years nitro , Gas , FE and over the last couple of years it become very obvious that in gas racing lane one is an advantage. Here in...

    Namba needs to reduce classes make it open mono, cat, hydro, rigger Pill draw for lane one Now slow starts boats need to be on plane leaving turn two. So no 2 mph starts Each race is a stand alone race so no points racing all season. You run your stuff hard for the overhaul win and season end...

    What needs to happen in our hobby is some changes in the rule in Namba we add new classes when we need to reduce classes and update the race format. Racing an 8 race year long series and everybody points racing just sucks we need to race every race all out to attract new people. Nobody comes to...

    So How Does RC Robots Get on PrimeTime Television and Boats Can't?

    Our racing isn't really racing its about who can get lane one and hold it 95% of the time who ever has lane one wins and that gets old fast in gas racing. Now nitro days it was different with the flying starts it was exciting to see who came out of them first turn Sent from my VS985 4G using...
