2011 IMPBA NITRO NATS

[SayMikey]

DEAD BOAT ON #4... Now what a minute..... where is #4??????? When did they move it to the left end of the lake?????? :lol: :blink: Hold YOUR LANE...... B)

Yea I think I was at a race and they thought they had to renumber all the bouys out there. Just confusing. Just call it as 123 and 456 as always and dont give the filler bouys a number

JACKPOT Phil How bout a saddle ride.OR i have a buddy maybe he can bring MR Ed and you can ride thru the pits. :lol: :lol: :lol:

When the 5 buoy course was voted on, approved and added to the IMPBA rules it states you still call it 1,2,3 & 4,5,6. The other buoys are radius buoys (but still count minus 50 if you cut one). It's really simple to call- if you have a dead boat at the radius buoy between 2 & 3 for example you still say "dead boat between 2 & 3". It's EASY, we've been doing it for over 3 seasons now without a problem.
Section K: Tech Specs

IMPBA Approved Courses

General

4. For scoring and course reference purposes, all marker buoys shall be numbered

consecutively in the direction of the course starting with the first buoy to the left of

the Start/Finish buoy and ending with the buoy immediately to the right of the

Start/Finish buoy. The Start/Finish buoy shall carry no number identification.

Straightaway buoys will be added to the 1/3-mile oval course only. The front

straightaway buoy will be located halfway between the start/finish line (center of

course) and buoy one; the back straightaway buoy will be located halfway between

the center of course and buoy four. The optional Radius Buoys will be added to the 1/3-mile

oval course only. The Radius buoys shall carry no number identification.

The Radius buoys will be placed in between buoys 1&2, 2&3, 4&5, and 5&6.

I know what it means,why are we changing??

I tell you from first hand experience it really cleans up the driving in the turns. Biggest plus is it cuts out people squaring off the corners, gotta run a real turn! We switched to it 3 years ago in D12 and even the most skeptical when we did it wouldn't go back to 3 buoy corners. Our clubs cut their buoy costs by 2/3rds since the switch and that's NO exaggeration whatsoever. The 5 buoy corner is in the IMPBA rule book so it's perfectly legit at the Nats. B)

ABSOLUTELY correct! It makes the turn into an arc instead of a triangle. We ahve used it with all CMB races the past 2.5 years. The 2008 Fall Nats we went through 27 round tubular style buoys. In 2009 we went through 3 at the same race. MAJOR difference in reduction of buoy hits and cuts. We will continue to use the 5 buoy system. Less chance in getting squeezed off in a corner as well.

Grim - If you had attended the past 2 WTC races you would have had the introduction to them. I know you have been busy but many clubs has gone to them.

We are doing more bouys, so less get hit. I went to celina CANAM race last year and with 5 bouys I don't remember any being hit. Less strikes = less down time and less torn up boats.

We will also use a softer buoy than we have the past 2 years so less boats get torn up.

Thanks Jeff,I was just asking the question why. This forum turns eveything into a debate,geez.

[Don Brown]

Dead line is the 15th of July, that’s only 7 days away.

Right Now we have 167 boats and 49 drivers.

E-Outboard Tunnel & E-Mono are in danger of being cut due to low boat counts, so if you have one enter it so we can have enough boats to run all classes.

Freq conflicts will be determined by who has paid first.

it would be nice to see the class run at the Nationals, I dont really run it cause it sucks my fuel down too fast. My boat will run with the big dogs on a good day, but is less on HP and and weight of the 90-101 boats.

 

[FloridaScaleBoater]

Phil;

I too would like to see it run,,, but don't look like it's gonna happen, Chuck Simmons pulled the plug on attending.

SO,, that leaves me as the only entry. That's fine Gives me another heat to sit in the recliner & rest up for scale
