On August 1, 2014 the Broward club headed by Jeremy Edge and Jerry Crowther will host a nitro only race.
The Race Format will be similar to the format used at the 1989 IMPBA Internats in Slidell, La., where the US-1 Champions were determined by 5 qualifying rounds and 3 finals rounds. The top 6 or 8 boats from the Qualifying rounds moved to the finals and the same top racers raced 3 times to determine the IMPBA US-1 Champions.
The NAVIGA World Champs are determined the same way, with 5 rounds of qualifying and 3 rounds of finals for the top 8 qualifiers.
The up coming Broward Nitro Shootout will run 4 Qualifying rounds and 3 finals rounds.
I personally enjoy this format very much and find the level of competition very high in the final rounds.
I am just curious to know how many racers would be intersted in this type of format. Perhaps other clubs would be interested in using the format.
This format does put a limit on the number of classes that could be run at an event. Hence, the races would need to be a little more specialized like the Broward "Nitro (only) Shootout".
Thoughts?
