Thread: Changes @ NJBA

    Hello every one,
    Just wanted to give you an update on what the NJBA has considered at the “Rules Change Meeting”
    :messedup:
    Point 1 Sandbagging question. Should the NJBA allow it or not?
    There are good arguments on both sides of this fence and it has it merits on both sides!
    The long term members and some short term members feel that the rule should stay as it is because this is what made NJBA different from the other clubs.
    On the other hand, some feel that you canÂ’t beat a great tuning job and reaction time to cut a good light and run your number.
    In this example, the “fender racer” should loose be cause the the tuned boat will run its number every time and the fender racer will only get lucky some of the time.
    :messedup:
    Point 2 “Throttle Linkage over travel” or is it “Throttle Travel control” The wording on this rule will be adjusted and the members input on the wording was very helpful in making the difference in how this rule will be adjusted.
    :argue:
    Point 3 CID of 565 engines.
    The proposed change was to raise the cid to 572. The argument was that most boat owners have engines that exceed 565 in their boat and if we want to enlarge our boat count we need to up the cid. Point well taken!
    Other complaints about Kern County Parks Fees are what they are – Fees the NJBA can’t control, but we are doing our best to read and adjust individual wrongdoings as they appear.
    People, remember, WeÂ’re on your side, tell us what you need and if we move too slow, come and show us how too. :sqeyes:
    River Racers,
    Just a reminder to our new race who will be full racer next year, and qualify for points and record setting Et’s and track speed records – The entry fees are reduced by $50 if your fees are received 8 days before the scheduled race date.

    "LONG TERM" means OLD FARTS like YOU and ME.
    "SHORT TERM" means everybody else. :smile:

    Jak,
    Sorry about the long response time.
    The term sand bagging was synonymous with nos> therefore, it would be wasting time
    Sorry

    Probably means a throttle stop device. Its a computer controlled unit that opens the throttle at a desired rate.Alot of NHRA sportsman guys run em. Pretty lame if you ask me.

    In a small capacity ... the issue of sandbaggin' took up a LONG time. The agreement that we needed to focus on getting the answer back from the majority of the members about snadbagging first via ballot was made.
    It was spoken about and is scheduled to be on the adgenda for the race commitee (sp) to speak about during it's session prior to the October Board meeting.

    Electronic and/or pneumatic throttle actuators between your foot and the carb/injector throttle linkage. These items are not allowed. But the way that it is written now, nothing is allowed as a throttle stop (which is stupid ... as all carbs, Accellerator pedals, injector hats have a mechanical stop ... ) It just needed to be revisited and defined.
    Bob Prigmore helped out a lot by coming up with a clear definition that works well.
