Joe,, I think you are SADLY mistaken if you really feel this way!!!!The guys that put... put... put... to the start line OFF PLANE...... Just Don`t Want to RACE!!!!!!This is not what the new rule says. The way I read it is, after I have passed bouy 4 or that 10 seconds have passed that "I must maintain my lane". But then it goes on to say that "and observe driver safety in selecting lanes". This is in past tence. So with this said I can move anywhere I like on the course so long as I don't ZigZag, "S" turns, or fishtail to delay the crossing of the starting line. And under other present racing rules so long as I am not impeding another boats right of way I have not commited any infraction of any kind.Ok gang it's 10 seconds OR passing buoy four. So turn down the adrenalin and understand it's ten seconds OR passing buoy four. In other words HOLD YOUR LANE ONCE YOU PASS BUOY FOUR COMING FOR THE START.
And if you pass buoy four @ 75+ with 9 seconds left you need to work on your clock skills. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
So what has this new rule done? Nothing that was not already in the rule book. Sorry guys have read this rule many times and this is the way I see it and will enforce it in any race I put on this way. Who ever came up with this rule did not read the rule book for repeat rules.
You know I show up to the lake ready to ROCK & ROLL and win as many heats as I can.
Just because MY race strategy is different from yours, does NOT mean I'm not ready to race!!!!
THE RACE begins when the clock hits 0,, NOT before
