[photohoward1]

Will you guys be imposing heat racing rules that aren't in the book (IMPBA or NAMBA) that only apply to FE?

Hmmm.

As many times as Howard and I talked about the "special" FE rules I wondered if he would notice my question. Haha. Cost me a class last time out.

I noticed....

I know you and I don’t exactly have the same opinion on this subject, but every race regardless of power source has the potential of "special rules". Many of these situations are suggested or enforced by the hosting club/CD. I am sure a simple phone call to the hosting could clear up some of the current confusion (frustration) of "special rules". We are in the middle of making great progress with the hobby in as a whole. Don’t beat up on the guys (clubs) that are actually TRYING to make an effort to host events and classes that allow FE, Nitro, and Gas power sources. When it comes to “Open” classes some clubs are stricter than others and some are more lenient than others. A little communication could go a long way in this situation. If you don’t like the outcome of the rules or the conversation don’t go to the event; but don’t spoil it for others. Just because a few don’t approve of the special rules you speak of doesn’t me there isn’t others who are willing to conform, race, and have fun doing it.
The few times I have participated at a NLMC event, they have been more than gracious and it seems to me they are trying harder than most to have a race that ANYONE can come to and enjoy. They also seem to be reasonable people that are willing to listen and make a decision with EVERYONE’s thoughts in mind…

Later,
Mike

Geez Terry, I'm happy to have you ...... believe it or not I think NLMBC is the most lenient on the continent when it comes to racing mixed fuel classes, may not be perfect but its pretty good. You don't want to sound like that kid who takes his toys and goes home. now leave your gear in the car and drag your ass up here and race on.

Cheers, Jay.

For those of us that don't know the past details to this discussion...can somebody please clarify?

If it pertains to the "Open" classes, then shouldn't it be simply "run what you brung"?? No other rules required????

[T.S.Davis]

There, all better.

I'll take Mikes advice and move on.
