Controversy
This edition of the Soling North American Championship had a long aftermath. In race 5, US 697 (Charlie Kamps), Milwaukee, was penalized with a 50% bonus as result of a protest from US 574 (Mac Dunwoody) from Houston. US 697 made several appeals, which resulted in a reinstatement of the US 697 and a penalty of 50% bonus for US 574 on 5 February 1981. This decision was made by the TYA Appeals Committee, consisting of:
- Robert W. Gough Jr. (TYA)
- Jim Anderson (TYA)
- Dr. David Green (TYA)
