This is a continuation of the topic: "Thunder Tiger Mod's" opened up from my Son. Names will be left off to keep the peace.
When Should C.D.'s(Contest Directors) "ACT". Don't have my IMPBA book with me at the moment, but doesn't Section: H Par. 3-4 State something about the C.D. should verify a Boat(in this case Sport Tunnel)is a valid/Legal boat (to run in that heat for the day) Prior to the Race starting? I mean, This seems to be an "Age Old" argument.. They know my Son is coming to race, they also know that his Tunnel hasn't changed from the last time it raced. Why does the race have to end(After He(My son)has won both Stock & Mod)for people to start complaining about some sort of Modification to his Carb. - Then threaten him with an Email from the C.D. the next day to Disqualify (Him), not his boat from all points.. Things got very heated at the pond(After the Race) about this same Stupid arguement. Let's just play "Devil's advocate" here, and say (My Son) does have a Modified carb. on his "Thunder Tiger". The Carb has no markings on it, but if (They) know the Tunnel is coming - then wouldn't it be prudent to call him on it (At the beggining of the day) and not after he's won "Both" Classes? Any of you IMPBA Professionals with some clarity on this issue? <_<
