Item 17 in Safety section of OPBRA rules states... 17. Radio communication from boat to shore will be required for all racers, all classes. Is radio communication intended for crew/driver or officials/driver communication? Does cell phone count as radio? Knowing intended purpose would help. Thanks Tom |

Intention is for driver to crew. Race officials will be on land and on the start boat with their own radios. If there is a need to communicate something to all drivers, land officials will inform the crew members. Ideally, two way radios work best as you could set a channel for each heat/class/event for group comm.'s. Good to see the rules being read!! |

So a simple pair of GMRS radios like Motorola T-100 will likely be most commonly used. 22 channels, 5 km range over water, affordable. |

You got it Tom. Simple, easy, inexpensive and effective. They can also be shared between classes of boats that are not on the water at the same time!! |

8.Foot throttles with spring return and trim buttons on wheel or floor required. Are blinker style trim switches allowed? |

Hey Rob. Yes, turn signal style are permitted provided they spring to neutral position on tech inspection and are operable without letting go of the wheel. Dean/Paul, please chime in if I missed anything. Got your OPBRA and CBF memberships yet Rob? |
