namba rules discussion....

[T.S.Davis]

The other possibility is the "West Coast Guys" could just skip the event since we cause all these problems.

If that happens I'm gonna be sideways pissed.

There is no west coast magic wand. That's just Jeff attempting to make trouble where there is none.

I don't think he ment much by the west coast rules thing...probably some local class or something ..I don't know....you guys are lucky that there is such great partisapation (spelling lol) in the great white north....I know I had a great time at the 2011 nats at the waveblasters pond in fla.....hope to see it back again down this way soon

One guy bitched and the whole planet gets
Pissed? Where is the moderator to close this thread?

[Steven Vaccaro]

I was bitched at because other namba threads got shut down by the OSE mods. Now people want me to close the namba thread.

[Jeff]

Dave, Yes, I guess I am sorry for the west coast coment. I really wasn't trying to be negative about this(only the past). Nothing you did Dave.I think we just need a vote to fix it before the nats, and as a positive thing we have an operunity to vote something else. Maybe tfl will have a motor to aprove by then?

I was not bitching about the rules, just pointing it out. Ever three months someone complains about the motor rule and they don't get any where near the flak you guy's give me.

I have my opinion about something and for Dave and Terry's sake I won't post it in public.

Terry it seems as if people are upset at the way rules are followed or changed.

It's okay Steve. Leave it up.

You would think there was a mass collective hand wringing over the rules but that simply isn't the case. Dave's email isn't melting his computer. Neither is Hollands.

If there was an outcry from the membership of either organization about how they were modeled the organizations would respond. Neither organization is so arrogant that they wouldn't respond to a clear affront to their memberships. The outcry simply isn't there.

The motor thing is tricky. TFL will find one but I really don't want them to find something that's far superior. As stupid as that sounds. It does need to be comparable and competitive without being a ton better. There's a fine line there. Upsetting the apple cart is not the intent. I absolutely will not be pushing to get something included in the spec for the 14 nats. IN fact, I would lobby against it. It's simply not fair to anyone that races. I am hoping to see one before Phoenix. Not to race. Just for us to beat the b'geezus out of. See if we can find the edge of the envelope on it.

I mentioned this before. Our equipment is getting closer to failure with every run no matter how high the quality is. We race. We accept that risk. How hard we race will determine how long before you reach the end of your equipments life span. Kind to your gear? It will last a while. Amp the crap out of it? Not so much.

Oh, and if there really is an elder wand............I have it. hahaha

[Steven Vaccaro]

Now you guys are looking for a new spec motor? So if tfl gets one, how about Neu, leopard and tp?

iii) In addition, the CD has the discretion to allow the following:
(a) An aftermarket motor that is a re-labeled and exact copy of any
approved motor.
(b) Any generational change of an approved motor, or a motor that
is used in a Ready To Run (RTR) offering from a manufacturer
that produces over 100 units of said offering, as long as there is
no more than a 5% increase in any of the following
manufacturers specifications as compared to any single
approved motor: Kv, maximum constant amperage rating,
mass, and MSRP.

Not exactly. More like another motor to add to what we already have. Not a different spec. Not a brand new motor that's a head and shoulders clear choice. Like I said, what we have is mostly working. The manufacturing seems it might fluctuate but for the most part it's working. The numbers tell the tale.

Here's a can of dreams for us........wouldn't it be cool if Aquacraft, Horizon, Atomik, Venom, TFL, whoever would all agree to buy a particular motor brand? Like all Castle, TP, whatever. None of those company manufactures motors anyway.

bahahaha Sometimes I kill me.

There's the key. That's a lot to get right on.

Terry, you did say you had a wand in a previos post. :)
