when you speak of a committee....what exactly are you referring to? the CJ class will be running under the inboard committee. We have no say in that....it comes from APBA....we cant run our own committee.
If the APBA has no committee for this group yet, find out what it takes to make a committee and get knowledgeable people to help form the committee. If you could get either people who have raced comp jet before, or people who work in the marine indusrty specificly people who actually work with jet boats. Even if they are shops that compete with each other or manufacture similar items.
For example if this was off road truck racing you might have a member of the committee from each of these business.... Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Toyota, BFG, Goodyear, Toyo, King, RaceRunner, Rancho.
These people know these products, and even thou they compete with each other they can help form guidelines for the sport. This help everyone out because when one manufacturer creates and item and the others are involved in the same sport it may cause them to tweak or modify their parts. As the technology progresses, the parts become better and hopefully sales go up for everyone. Its a win win all around.
The marine industry is very small as it is and everyone pretty much already knows or knows of everyone else. Getting them involved in this end of the racing not only cycles knowledge and technology our way, but helps to generate sales in their direction. Also if a companys parts are seen failing time and time again while racing that is seen by the consumer, and hopefully that gets them back to the drawing board to find out why they are having these problems before it affects their sales.
I see you already have some great people on here that help out and give good advice like Tom at Jet Boat Performance. And I am sure you have many others too, I am just fairly new here. I am not here to promote my business or sale anything I want to be anonomous like that. If someone needs help with a part or how to rigg something I am more than happy to help out, cause we are all here to have fun and share ideas.
