SORC ballot #4 announcement of rules adoption
1) Radios
Proposal: Replace RR1.6 with the following:
"Except for boats with capsules, any form of audio communication while underway is forbidden."
Reason: To encourage individual sportsmanlike driving over team driving.
This proposal has been adopted by a majority of the SORC. This will now go to the vote of the membership and if adopted will become effective 30 days after announcement on the APBA website.
2) Mercury 25SS
Proposal: Remove the engine completely from our class structure and technical manual.
Reason: It is no longer used.
This proposal has been adopted by a majority of the SORC and will become effective 30 days after announcement on the APBA website.
3) Motor of choice in 25SSH
Proposal: Add an asterisk beside the Sidewinder 20S engine as the motor of choice for 25SSH. This is on our chart for permitted motors on page 14 of the technical manual.
Reason: This has not been approved yet and we need to do so to be able to follow our mission statement.
This proposal has been adopted by a majority of the SORC and will become effective 30 days after announcement on the APBA website.
4) Motor of choice in 300SSH
Proposal: Add an asterisk beside the Yamato 321 engine as the motor of choice for 300SSH. This is on our chart for permitted motors on page 14 of the technical manual.
Reason: This has not been approved yet and we need to do so to be able to follow our mission statement. We are no longer sealing any 302's in the class. There are approximately ten 302's left in the class that are grandfathered previously. With the 321 already dominate in the class, the 302 will eventually go away.
This proposal has been adopted by a majority of the SORC and will become effective 30 days after announcement on the APBA website.
