Congrats to your daughter Darin!

Well, Guys. I emailed Tom and talked to Terry and am going to have to bail on this one.

That's it! I'm not going.

Terry,

I can donate a Black Pearl kit for the 2018 Nats. Latest version. Wood, skins, and cowl.

Okay guys. After much discussion but very nearly zero disagreement between us....Tom, Mike and I have come up with a temporary ruling for the spec motors for this event. This applies to this event only at this point. It is NOT the official final word on any IMPBA rule set. As the host club we can define these as we think is necessary. However, we have done so with the guidance of our national FE director. So basically it's our call and we made it with input from Mr. Ball. Really appreciate the effort Mike.

Going with this for the event:

Spec motors shall not exceed the dimensions of 37mm diameter X 62mm can length and shall not exceed 268 grams (minus can cooler, collet, mounting fasteners, and motor connectors). All protest shall be executed as identified in Section K, page 5 of the IMPBA rule book and be applied as applicable based on the CD's discretion

The only difference is the addition of a max weight. This will have the least impact on what we're pretty sure most people are running but still keeps out anything nutty for the moment.

Limited motors shall not exceed the dimensions of 37mm diameter X 62mm in length and shall not exceed 268 grams (minus can cooler, collet, mounting fasteners, and motor connectors). All protest shall be executed as identified in Section K, page 5 of the IMPBA rule book and be applied as applicable based on the CD's discretion

God job guys...

Has there been any consideration on making this the motor rule for 2018 MMEU club races?
Just be nice to start the ball rolling on running the first test season under these club rules. Ya know?

Hi All, just an FYI the cut of date for entry to the 2018 IMPBA FE Nationals has been moved up to May 26th. There are still a few classes that have not made the minimum # required, so if you are considering coming you need to get signed up.

Hi Guys:

Are you providing a few big kick ass generators like you have in the past?

I imagine Don & I will have the ability to hook up our Kanadian brother. Remind me to bring the 100' drop cord Don. We don't want a guy like that too close to us.

[ray schrauwen]
