COURSE
The course is a 6 lap NAMBA legal record setting course. There are two
turns. Turn one to the left and turn two to the right. Each turn has
5 buoys. They are designated as entrance, point, and exit.
HEAT FORMAT
There is a 2 minute audio clock to start your boat. When your boat is
launched, it must go around turn one and turn two. If there are any
subsequent re- launches during the 2 minute clock, your boat must go
around turn one and turn two again. Once you complete a lap you may
cut from front to back passed the the start/finish, or around the whole
course.
When the clock has completed its 2
minutes, it will automatically begin the 30 second countdown to the
start of the race, however your milling options remain the same. If
you jump the start, you must circle the entire course for a start. A
jump is not a penalty. Loss of boat parts from a non-collision is 6th
place points. There are 4 qualifying rounds of racing.
GRAND PRIX FINALE
The top 5 in points are in the "Winner Take All" final. The
"Last Chance"
Connie will have 6 boats of which the winner will move to the final
as part of the field.
We also include a trailer which will be the winner of the trophy dash.
The trailer can only take the pond if a boat dies before the start of
the race.
TROPHIES
Trophies will be given to all entrants who qualify for the "Winner
Take All" final in 1/8th Scale Unlimited Hydro Only. A Mod Tunnel,
B Mod Tunnel, and Sport 40 II Unlimited Lights will go to third place.
NOTE:
If you have any questions on the legality of your boat or motor, please
feel free to ask. We understand that there are rules differences between
different districts and racing organizations, therfore we will make
every attempt to be accomodating so that everyone has an opportunity
to race.
