FE is not looking too good for this race. not one fe class has the minimum number of entries

 

[Greg Rowe]

Closing date is getting close and right now 14 classes are not making the minimum of 5.
3 classes have 4 boats,and 5 classes have 3.
It's going to be a great race with a big mix of gas and nitro.
And the best racers in the country

 

[Tom Foley]

If we can't get 5 per class do you cancel the class or go to 4 ?

 

[Greg Rowe]

Tom I cannot answer that at this time but it will be considered on the close date Sept 25

Ok thanks . We will have 2 - 4 boat heats of Twin so 4 boat heats of 20 , 40 Mono etc won't be anything radically different.

Tom, D3 rules for points races have a 5 boat minimum and we will honor that,this is respect for the District and the points rule.
But more to follow after close date.

Yes one of MANY rules that the director and his HAND PICKED majority of the board have forced upon the district membership. Only approx 5% of the district membership has a say or a vote. The other 95% are merely peasants.
So while you are showing respect for the rules. Remember how much respect they have for the 95% of the membership that have ZERO say.
Rules only apply for some though. The Broward race clearly stated no parking or reserving spots before Friday morning. however the district director arrived and parked and reserved his spot on Thursday morning. Rules for thee but not for me!

 

[Greg Rowe]

Danny I know what you are saying, each president votes on District rules, but their vote should represent the voice of the club they represent, so the clubs members voice is heard.
At least that is how BMBI does.
This is going to be a great race, we have some very nice awards to reward the winners.
I will post more info after closing date on Sept.25.

 

[Greg Rowe]

Danny on parking, BMBI flyer also states no holds or reserve parking,but we do have reserved parking spots for club members,once again respect for our club and I presume all clubs do that.

Or do it as IMPBA D13 Grand Prix series does it.
If a class does not meet the minimum required (for points to be awarded for the year end jacket)
The class runs, just no points for year end awards.
This is about running model boats and having fun isn't it?
How do we bring new blood into our sport/hobby if they can't run there boats.

 

[Greg Rowe]

I hear what all are saying, but for this year it's a D3 rule for points race.
We just need more racers/ boats to make the 5 min.

 

[Tom Foley]

Yes, probably more.

Where are they ? Running out of time .

 

[Norm Doerr]

Is it not a NAMBA D3 Rule to cap points races at 175 boats.?

As of this morning there are 185 boats entered by 50 drivers.

Based on the 175-boat rule, the race should be closed resulting in there being no chance for any class running short to make the 5-boat minimum

For those that will NOT be allowed to run, will the contestants eliminated be refunded the $15.00 dollar per boat prior to the event?

27 boats to be refunded for not making the 5 boat rule. ($405)

There are also a few contestants that will drive a significant distance to race with what now may be one class while they have one or more other classes entered that will not be able to race. Spending $$ for lodging gas and food to run fewer classes.

Thanks Greg , I know you will do your best buddy .

 

[Greg Rowe]

Yes any class that does not make the minimum will be refunded.
Close date is the 25 and at that time classes and the 175 +/_ max, will be determined.
just a reminder all entries now will have PP only no checks and no pay at the race.
thanks Greg
