Flying Flivver Class?
Why didn't anyone create a class for these boats to run in? Could have been a great beginner class in either the APBA stock category or OPC category? Or both?

Flivver Had Great Potential
- Bullet proof 25hp power (both Merc and OMC)

- Not sure why Flivvers weren't used in the Canadian bathtub enduro races (Nanaimo BC)?
- Definitely a "kneeler" boat (stocks)
- Many other uses when not racing?
