For those of you who don’t know who Bob is. He is the President of the UIM Safety and Medical Commission since 1990 and Chairman of the American Powerboat Association Safety Committee since 1996. He constantly studies safety as related to powerboat racing. He takes a systematic approach and examines the variables involved from the time a person decides to race through to an incident and rescue. He explores the possibilities of preventing potential incidents by making changes further up the safety chain. In addition to the safety considerations that will be discussed, there will be a number of ideas on how to improve a race team’s performance because many of the safety related ideas are directly related to improved driver performance on the race course. Bob is a contributing member of the International Congress of Motorsport's Science. Members include Formula 1, Nascar and most motorsport's associations. He is arguably the most qualified person in the World on safety and medical issues relating to powerboat racing. He has been interviewed by the BBC, Discovery Channel, CNN, History Channel, National Geographic Channel, NBC affiliates, NY Times, Aviation Week and a number of other periodicals. Apart from all that, Bob is a current extremely active powerboat racer himself. He has won three World Championships, 24 US National Championships and set 122 World Speed records including the current Outboard World Speed Record of 284 kph (176.5 mph). We have organised two seminars. first will be at the: Auckland Coastguard Mechanics Bay Monday 2nd February at 5.30pm and the second at: Cambridge on 6th February at 9.30 am At the Riverside of Cambridge Motor Lodge and Conference Centre 7 Williamson St Cambridge. Each seminar will run for 3 ½ hours. Entry will be by ticket sale and the cost per person will be $20 to cover the cost of the rooms, equipment hire and refreshments that will be provided. Numbers will be limited to 120 people. It is strongly recommended that all race drivers, crew, race boat builders, rescue personnel and anyone else who has an interest in the sport attend.
