Class 6 Rules Discussion

2TR,
I agree! I would make an exception/grandfather AKULA since he is running a blower (I think??). The best rule you came up with is the "NO POUTING"

Only rule that ALULA needs to adapt is a scatter shield around his motor. So when that 1000 hr war horse lets loose I don't get smacked up side the head with a piston.
 
Seriously we need to know for sure whats allowed and whats not before we waste our time rigging for this.

Working with emotions and feelings wont work. Where does the line stop. There is talk about props, drives, etc. You can be very specific and even add no steps on the bottom for a class. Where does it end. If i was in charge, i would create simple rules

I think if they see a b1 over 24 they will put you in p5, p6 boats should run 70 with a b1 22 or 24 depending on rpm. OPA has done a great job when I ran in 02 before OPA my 26 prop put me in p5. hope to finely see you guys at the races shooting for p4 waiting for power to show up next week Ihope so we can get this think together get motor scoop done and x. are there any rules on running a blower in class 4?

single engine vee with blower in Class 4 should be fine.Call Smitty to confirm.
Looks like there will be a strong group of boats from New England this year with TKO,AIR TIME,BOXER and NOPPER MARINE.Great to have all of you guys back racing with us.:driving:
 
Hey guys I’ve reading threw all of this and honestly I think the pump gas rule has a designated target and at the end of the day it comes down to the crew what good is it when you have a gazillion horse power and number 6 drives with a million dollars when you don’t know how to run the boat. I’m not saying I’m being singled out but let’s use me as an example, I watched the back of cotner trailers boat alllll yearrrr with correct me if I’m wrong a 496 and a stock bravo drive?? So what good was my race gas and my imco drive? Look all I’m saying is at the end of the day we stop at 70 and the race is won with the crew and seat time. Just the way I feel about it.

In my case, I am not targeting anyone. If we did adopt a gas rule, any boat that ran in 2009, in my opinion should be grandfathered. Not to worry, other Smith brother, we got your back!

Not to worry, We have a new motor for Boomer. On the fuel issue, it would be a lot of work to sample the class every race. But if thats what the class wants, Ok.
 
no it wont,,,do what they do in cart,,a pump around,,, pull 20 gals out of the boats and pump 20 back in ,,who ever spent the big money for the hot fuel just shared it with the 10 others..
 
When this thread started, suggestions were being sought to discuss rule changes or "tweek" the rules. My goal was to keep 6 affordable-therefor my suggestions were aimed at affordabliity, not any specific boat.
Anyway, the class is growing, so lets get ready to "get it on!" (once the snow melts!)

That would be time consuming and a a fire issue. From my involvment with Grand Am Rolex and Continental Tire series, anytime fuel is pumped in or out full fire gear and fire bottles are involved.
I don't think that is a practical answer. Sampling is the most practical solution if a fuel rule is adopted. We so it in SCCA all the time.

PS WatchaGott under the hatch Boomer??
