Ok, thanks again Mike. No wonder I could not find it, I was looking at the technical specifications of hulls in each rule book.
[SIZE=12pt]D. Racing Rules [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]All IMPBA, Procedures, Rules of Competition, Contest & Racing Rules. All racing will run on standard IMPBA race courses unless otherwise specified for a class. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]In addition to the IMPBA racing rules the following racing rules will also apply to fast electric. [/SIZE]
[*][SIZE=10pt]Once the race has started, a boat that stops for any reason will be called as a stopped boat by the contest director and allowed a five count to continue racing. At the contest director’s discretion, a stopped boat may immediately be called as a dead boat if warranted. A stopped boat that fails to continue racing after the five count will now be called as a dead boat. A boat that stops three or more times during a heat will be assessed as a dead boat for the heat. When a boat is called as a ‘stopped boat’ it is also considered to be a ‘dead boat’, which must be avoided by other boats on the water. When a stopped boat is capable of resuming the race it must give ‘right of way’ to other boats on the water as described in the Contest & Racing Rules. [/SIZE]

- [SIZE=10pt]During a race start, a boat cannot stop. Doing so will result in a one lap penalty. A boat will be considered as stopped when: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The boat falls off plane or step allowing the bow to settle into the water. [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=10pt]Turns upside down for any reason even if it is a self-righting boat. [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=10pt]A “barrel roll”, “end over end flip” or “spin” is not a stopping infraction unless the boat fails to continue forward motion but may be grounds for a lane infraction. [/SIZE]
