Clearly you have never been in a competition where one can buy a advantage.

After 24 seasons of oval track racing I can tell you less rules just cost more money, costing money just removes some players from the game.

Everyone needs to perceive they have a chance at winning or they will stop entering... that may not completely apply in fishing since nobody is making a living or in the green based on their tourney payout. but it still applies, if guys need to find another driver to tow another boat in case the pattern is a back water shallow pattern, that is a expense, it will remove 1-2-3 of the field fillers or bottom feeders as they "feel" they cant compete without that.

A oval track example that went down a few years ago in my racing circle.

When the modified class went to a crate engine option, we could still run a open engine also, the open was better on heavy wet tracks, the crate was better on drier tracks because it got a 2 inch spoiler. Right away there were guys showing up with one crate car one open car and choosing which to run after hot laps (seeing track conditions). a rule was quickly made that you had to declare at sign in open or crate. Without that rule people needed two cars... two cars at 40k each wasnt going to keep the one night a week racer with a open trailer in the game long, We would have ended up with only the guys with two and three car trailers racing each other, so 5-10 cars a night, the class would be dropped from weekly racing and quickly turn into a touring only series just like, sprint cars and late models have for the most part.

This actually makes a lot of sense. You create a rule to keep costs down for your field of competitors which keeps the field larger.

You mean like having 12k of graphs, just on your front deck? https://texasfishingforum.com/forum...51140/re-garmin-differences#Post13651140

Jeff can't see the insane hypocrisy in his argument. Nor would he ever admit when he's wrong. His argument is nonsense. Time to move along.



What does my front deck have to do with anything? What am I wrong About?

There are small bass boat clubs and tourneys for a reason.

F1 cars don’t race with NASCAR.

Car racing is a terrible comparison to small motor restrictions in bass fishing for obvious reasons, Jeff.

Let’s hear your obvious reasons. I got Time.

When people think they need xxx to compete. Be it electronics. Boats. Tires. Golf clubs. They are less apt to continue to compete. Less people competing is how tours tournaments events stop being put on.

Wheeler's electronics retail cost is higher than Keith's small used tin rig.

I prefer Keith's rough edges and temperament to that of the polished bait pumpin salesmen ..errr - anglers

Keith owned his mistake and admitted he did not read the rules to look for something so stupid

They don’t make the rules different for each event. A sub 150 motor usually goes on a smaller boat which would be very dangerous on lakes like the Great Lakes. I noticed he had a different aluminum boat that’s bigger and makes the requirements so he had options.
I assume there is an element of equality in the decision to have this rule as well. Anglers that drive across the country and put up money to compete are the only people the organizers listen too. They must’ve felt it was an issue.

Does that price anyone out from competing? Or are you only worried about the guys with a sponsor boat who can’t tow multiple boats to an event?
