Ahhh, but the current group of owners who have made the class grow over the past couple years are the ones who should make those choices, vote on them, and have a charter that allows change based on a unanimous vote in some types of changes and simple majority in others.
You may have a board of directors to oversee and make suggestions or something. But I see no advantage to giving overall authority to someone else who has nothing to lose.

While I agree that the current group of owners should be rewarded for their efforts I still do not think having racers vote on everything is the proper way to go. I have never seen it work in ANY form of motorsports from Trans-Am to Swamp Buggies, from Drag Racing to Sailing and so on. A perfect example is Drag Racing’s PRO organization of Professional drivers… NHRA had a race a few months back in Charlotte where they raced 4 cars on the track at one time. The purists, and the overwhelming majority of drivers didn’t like it, but Bruton Smith (track owner) and TV did… The drivers voted something like 64 to 3 that if the race was held again they wouldn’t come back… Guess what it’s on the schedule for 2011, and they’ll be back because it makes financial sense.
And while I love SVL (other than the engine rule, but that’s another story) and it’s probably the most active class in offshore racing right now to say that it’s grown in the past years is kind of naive isn’t it? Look at the boat counts from this past decade in SVL vs. what they were in A… We’re not where we could or should be.
I wouldn't say give it to someone with nothing to lose, pick someone like Linder who's reputation is more than enough to keep him trying to grow the class, and the sport.

06-08-2010 02:31 PMI'm not comparing it to A. I'm saying over the past few years, 4 or 5, it has attracted the largest group of new boaters to any spec class.
Am I wrong???Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
