NAMBA A-OPC Tunnel Rules

[MikeP]

I have a OS 3.5 outboard with a OS inflight remote needle, sharpened skeg, and a bellmouth intake on the carb. I was wondering if these were legal in NAMBA A-OPC Tunnel.

Mike

Although i do not racer in NAMBA i do beleave that the needle valve and the sharpening of the lower unit are OK. However i dout any type of intake mod is legal.

Sounds like as long as the intake was not cut up in anyway that you should be able to return the boat to OPC.

Hea FROG members..am i right?

Jeez, finally someone older than me that runs model tunnel boats!!! Great to have you aboard, Jack.

About the O.S., in NAMBA Stock, you can run a remote needle/mixture control but the stock needle-valve assembly must also be in place. This cost Rudy Formanek a second or third place finish at the last NAMBA Nats. Rudy had been running his boat in 7.5 Mod and simply forgot to install the K&B remote needle-valve when he entered the boat in 7.5 Stock. There was no performance gain by eliminating the the K&B needle, but that's the way the rule reads.

You are not allowed to make any modifications to the carb.

And you know that there's a soft spot in my heart for "A" OPC.
