I will have to disagree about the rules again. There are basic rightaway rules that anyone can understand and can be gleamed from the Class 8 rules.
They need to know the basic rules for everyones safety, then as they progress the rules will become natural to them. As the buggier advances he can
then study the rules on the finer points that top racers are always looking at to push the limits. It is not that hard and we will set up basic rules
on NAPKRA. |
I just looked at the Class 8 rules as a complete noob, with no (buggy) race experience, nor even experience at a large event (like NABX). My "event"
experience is liited to tooling around the beach at the same with a few other 'bugs and 'boards.
Having said that, I found nothing intimidating or hard to understand about the rules. I think Jon is right; newbies will easilly remember that which
has context: practical right-of-way rules to keep participants at a fun event out of trouble. The more acedemic stuff will be easy to remeber when
it's more important- prior to a first real race.

Since it is being brought up, some of you might not of been aware of the thread regarding rules on the NABX part of this forum. I strongly encourage
you to go over and read what you can on the thread titled "Challenge 2008"
http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=5053&pa...
Dave367s posts regarding the intricacies of the FISLY rules and how they can be used to decide race results after the race is over is a good read.
Keep in mind that many who have posted on this thread (buggy racing events in the USA????) have removed their mostly off-topic and "insult the
messanger" replies from the "Challenge 2008" thread. No on topic, point by point reply has been posted.
I'm just looking out for the sport, honest. I have nothing against buggy racing, just would like to see some internally consistent rules used to keep
the sport safe.
