April 2016 Rule Proposal Results
By Al Waters
NAMBA Executive Secretary
This past April the NAMBA membership voted on two
proposals. One was to increase the size of the GX Twin cubic
centimeter maximum displacement from 53 to 54 cubic
centimeters for the twin motor class or motor with two
cylinders. That proposal did pass with 77 Yes votes and 24 No
votes.
The other proposal dealt with allowing exposed exhaust
systems for gas sport hydroplanes. A rule that would be
inserted in the Gas section of the NAMBA rule book. That
proposal passed with 91 Yes votes and 16 No votes.
You can print the updated pages from the NAMBA web
site if you so desire. All members will receive updates for their
rule book in April of 2017.
Dream Builders Car Show
By Mike Cathie
Unlimiteds Northwest
Mike Cathie and Gene Gager from Unlimiteds Northwest
set up a display of six of their 1/8th Scale Unlimiteds at the
Third Annual Dream Builders Car Show
. This event is held
every August at the Evergreen Speedway in Monroe,
Washington. $35,000 was raised benefiting the Big Brothers
and Big Sisters of Snohomish County.
In quoting Mike Cathie, “I can not think of anything better
we could have done to generate more interest in the hobby for
a $100 display fee. We were on our feet for eight to nine hours
talking to people and firing up a boat from time to time.
Several people were very interested in our boats and said
they would attend a race to check it out.”
