The way we race at OSS with the rules we have now was to grow the class! It was decided as a class that if we race with a 2x2 start and if we do heat races it would help encourage new teams to race and give them a shot at doing well. It was for the betterment of the class as a whole to help it grow and not for 1 or 2 teams to dominate and have teams quit because they felt they had no shot. Has it worked? At one time it was the best thing going.Now the class is light.

Actually the A weight was 4500 lbs. I raised in in 2001 (before I raced SVL) to 4750 as the SSM Phantom boats were about 5000lbs. Before anyone cries foul I can weigh 4500!

Like I said in an earlier post what ever the teams as a class vote on and decide (4750/4850) I think JC will be fine with it because it is your class.Try to figure it out ASAP and we can let him know.

If memory serves me correctly, Stainless was an Extreme that is now known as "Typhoon". As far as who was the heaviest, I dont have a clue. Yes, you are correct that the weight is 4750 in the SBI rulebook, but a change was made over on the OSS side to 4850 and with no SVL's in SBI at the time and almost dismissal of the class(until the latest procedings) SBI did not mess with the rulebook. As Frank said the boats that are SHOWING UP need to get on the same page and let him know as a group what they want. Those sitting on the sidelines should respectfully keep their whining to a minimum.

NOW we have to make the best of it , i,m very greatfull that someone is willing to give svl,s a second chance, otherwise they would all be setting on trailers.or cut off the tops and end up poker run boats except you can,t take any friends.no room. so lets all get ready to party,, hell i might even drink a beer or two. :03: :willy_nilly::driving::26::bigear::cuss:
