        NAMBA BOD should rescind the rule since it was presented under false pretense- they admitted to never teching any of it in the "trial period".

          Which nats Mike? Are you heading down for 2 classes a day for 8 days?

          For our nats up here I've been told under no circumstances are we going to run anything outside of the IMPBA rules. Correct motors and registrations are an absolute must. Drive dog position . What ever is in there.

              There aren't 57 scale FE guys but for a minute let's say there are. How do those extra 300 guys that voted for this feel about it now I wonder.

                I actually voted "yes" on this before this thread even became alive. A case of don't know anything... but figured I'd trust the BODs and those racing the class whom wrote the proposal knew what was best.

                I've had that pushed down my throat lately...
                Have fun with that....

                    People shouldn't vote on things that have no effect on the classes they run.

                        Don't feel that's totally fair. Maybe its on something a person may want to fun in the future.

                        Myself... no. I'm just trying to be an evolved participant in the process.

                        Funny how many want more participation and votes cast on important issues, but when things don't go the way they want... this is what we start to hear.

                        With all that said... I do honestly wish I had waited a little longer to cast my vote. And I do believe this discussion should have been taking place before the rule was sent out for vote...

                        But what do I know...? I over talk and over analysis everything.
                        See what happens when you don't have people like me involved to analyze and talk about things?

                        Okay... that was seriously just a joke. I have to put it out there because it just makes me laugh. But it IS said tongue in cheek.

                        But, I'm out of this conversation. I know nothing and will just sit back with my popcorn.
                        Have fun with that....

                          It's VERY easy to see how something like this can happen if you read the NAMBA rule regarding the amendment process. Section 7. Unless the process is changed the chance of something like this happening again is 100%.

                              I'm confident that if it doesn't it won't be for the lack of somebody trying

                                Annnndddd he's back! Now your favorite blowhard is posting on I/W about FE limits overall. NAMBA is F'd if they don't adopt some rules to give their BOD some teeth to stop stupid stuff like what just happened and what will continue to happen with those clowns running loose..........
