The APBA's decision could have an major effect on the class. One, its a not a APBA recognized class, it runs as a local "club" class with the approval of the APBA. Not all sponsoring clubs and promoters that put on the races recognize them, and they can only race at events that are willing to put them on the schedule.
The Nostaglia classes are/were the same way.

I don't know if its a safety concern with the boats themselves, or the APBA is rethinking the idea of allowing "local classes" to run under their sanctions. Either way it could kill the class. If its a boat safety issue, and the ABPA decides to take matters into their own hands, it could be the end of the class. The COR group had a safety meeting to be pro-active in placating the APBA, but I think it could be too little too late. The class is kind of a rag tag group of mismatch hull types with a common engine size. It a VERY low budget class, and most of the guys are not interested in spending any money on a something the APBA may hand down as a safety rule. No different than if the APBA handed down some sweeping rule change on the Nostalgia inboards.
The local "club" classes are pretty much left up to the club to regulate them. That may change in the future, and the changes could be the end of "local" classes. ]
Thanks Bob! I know this is a class were many get a start and springboard to something faster if they achieve some success.
