Local clubs generally don't sanction their monthly or ?? races.
Either way... local clubs can already do whatever they generally want.
My thought above is in NO WAY attempt to "fix" P-LTD... I would leave P-LTD exactly like it is... make NO changes to it for the long-term... No additions, etc... No further arguing necessary.
The "P-LITE" thought would be an entirely different entity. It would ELIMINATE the need to specify ANY PARTICULAR motors... Define a MAX Length and Diameter.
Teching would be done with a go/nogo gauge or a pair of calipers. If you want to run an outrunner... fine... it still needs to fit into the 36mm x 61mm mold (by the way... these are approximate... might need to make them 36.3mm or something like that... but you get the point.)
P-LTD boats would still fit the mold... so they'd could competitively race the class as-is. Definitely just run it at a Club level initially. If it gains momentum, maybe take the next step.
My guess is that it would end up taking over P-LTD and P-LTD would go away. That would be ideal, honestly. People would NOT have to retool entire fleets, but now the options are opened up and the class would literally be a more limited performance version of "P" (Single vs. multi-motor, and drastically limited in motor size).
Seems like a solid way forward in my opinion.
