Just to clerify Wayne,
Do classes like scale & sport 40 remain open till the entry deadline, or since they don't have the required 5 to make a class sre they cancelled as of today?

Rick....The classes not meeting the 5 boat min will remain open until Dec 15th. If they don't reach the 5 boat min by this date they will be pulled to make room for racers on the waiting list. All classes that have met the 5 boat min that are no filled will remain until the Jan 18th deadline.

The IMPBA Nitro Nationals ARE happening,, Charleston is planning to run the same format as the Evansville club did this past summer.
I attended them, and I liked the format. The CMB club puts on a first rate event, so I woulnd't see why the Nat's 2012 would be any different

Why do some classes get more entrees than other's? Only allow 8 tunnels but as many gas cat's as you want, that's not right!

Shawn & others with these same concerns,,,
What is it you don't understand? All classes started with the SAME number of slots available. Wayne made it very clear, that a heat "cap" of 240 had been set.
Now, if there were 40 to 50 tunnel drivers, and they were entered early, THEY would have taken away from other class slots.
It IS the nature of our hobby,, there are more gas boats out there, and it seems the gas pilots seem to be on top of getting entered, EARLY!!!
So, it's not a matter of ONLY allowing 8 tunnels, and as many gas cats as they want,,, it's the way the entries were received.. At least you have 8 tunnels, and have met the minimum for a class,,, as you can see from my post in the scale & sport hydro section,, I;m trying to rally enough boats to make the scale & sport classes.
Wayne & the Orlando club,, I hope you don't mind me trying to explain the nature of the beast, and have explained it correctly.

Rick is correct you need to sign up early and that creates a situation where racers see who's on the list and it starts a snowball effect. No club has to save slots when guys procrastinate. As for tunnel people they are the best bunch of racers and the worst at getting together. Not hijacking a thread but in a month we have a 5 heat all tunnel event in Brandon and very few of the "local elite" tunnel drivers are on the schedule. How can you draw out of town competitors if you don't sign up and show others your ready to race.If you just take it for granted the classes will disapear. Rick did the right thing rallying the troop for the classes he wants to support at this event.
