Just reading through the format. 3 rounds for all, then the top 6 in a 2 heat championship round. Did not see if earned points will transfer or not? Do the finals restart points at zero or all or some points retained going into the finals?

The way it went last year is the top 6 boats raced the last two champ rounds, top quaifier started off with 6 points 2nd 5 points on down to 6th with 1 point. this was to avoid tie scores, two rounds is a bit tough just dont mess up and get a dnf HA

So is there any consensus as to where to stay for this race? I have seen several people ask, and it seems there are lots of places to stay, but is anywhere going to have lots of boaters or are they going to be spread right around? It would be good to be able to socialize in the evenings!

Hi Ian,

I'll be staying here if it helps you out any. According to google maps it's about 6.9 miles or a 13-15 minutes drive just up the road from the race site.

It,s been brought to my attention that some people are not sure on the rules in the sport B tunnel class. The rules in district 3 for sport B tunnel are the same as the rules in I.M.P.B.A. which are stock appearing.

Another words any mods to the internal parts of the os engine are allowed. no mods to the bore of the carb or exhaust are permitted another words a go -no gauge. ore you can run a bone stock engine

if you prefer choose your poison
