I would also propose we try something new for the starting procedure to align with the current H1 Unlimiteds. We would stay with the 80 mph minimum but have the following changes:

Add in one warning as long as it is less than 2 seconds.
Define three DMZ areas on each course where milling is not allowed at any time.
A. A circle defined by both corner turns mirrored across the entrance and exit buoys.
B. An oval defined by the start/finish line buoy, the buoy just before or after the S/F line, and the two buoys on the backstretch opposite them.
i. At SD, this is the island using the lights course markers and the buoy before the S/F line.
ii. At Madison, this is the buoy before the S/F line using the lights course.
iii. At Detroit, it is the lights course marker and the S/F line buoy.
Allow for cutting from the front stretch to the backstretch between the S/F line on the last milling lap so long as you do not enter the DMZ.

When you sign up for your boat, please vote on proposed starting rule changes 1, 2 and 3 with a yes/no response.

i.e. Steach - U-00 Miss WAZZU
1 - Yes
2 - Yes
3 - Yes

I can help run the season and take over if need be.

Also maybe add to #3 that when you cut you don't have the right to the lane until you pass 2 buoys after you get back on the course.

jeffdewalt

I will take the U-1 Graham trucking.
Yes to all 3 of the rule changes.
I would like an overhead snap shot on each course clarifying the DMZ

jeffdewalt

I like what Mickey said about rule #3. And I agree with that. You should add that.

Mickey

My pick is the U-2 T-Plus and Yes to all 3 rule changes

Jim Brittain

I'll take the U-7 Air National Guard and vote yes to all 3.

I can do the DMZ diagrams since I already have the courses mapped out.

As of now my game still isn't working, so I won't make a boat choice unless I know if I will be able to race it.

I'll take the U-1 Miss Budweiser (listed as "Miss Budweiser Racing" in the game).
If this boat is already taken, here is a list of boats I would also take:
U-7 Graham Trucking II (black w/ red stripes)
U-7 Valken Sports
U-5 Formulaboats.com (red w/ white rear wings)

I vote YES to all rule changes.

@Jim-Brittain darn you

cp65

@Beau-Rarig As in the real boats, U-1 is usually reserved for the champion. I'm not sure if we're using that rule this season though.

Mickey

@Beau-Rarig yeah if you want to run the Bud you need to pick the u12 or the u11

@Mickey Alright, I'll switch my selection to the U-7 Graham Trucking II.
