Capsule Training in Minnesota (Good Experience)

[tabararacing]

APBA has ruled that Capsule training is a must if you want to go training. It's good training even if you don't "have to." I've been through a couple wrecks myself, always landing upside down, and because of the training, I was able to get out without any problems.
If you guys are strapped in, or looking for a good experience, find a local capsule training and go for it. You can find a good list of the training sessions at champboatracing.com or if your in Minnesota you can go to the following:
Sportc.com/tcpba (Twin City Power Boat Assoc.)

Once again folks, if your strapped in your boats, its in your best interest to attend a seminar.

Brian, Submersion testing (capsule training) is compulsory here in Europe under the guise of the UIM. It is something I'm not looking forward to, which I will be doing in the coming weeks to attain my race license for S850/ F4. Is it not compulsory under APBA reg's? Just curious!

Hi there, it is required now for all OPC drivers. I don't mind doing the training at all. I realize if something is giong to go wrong, I'dl ike to have it happen at the training, so when or if it occurs at the race I'll be more prepared.
Good luck on your dunk test,
Brian
