Hey Dick T nice to hear from ya and hope all is well with you and yours! The Harley will never get parked for more than a day or 2 LOL!

Thanks Randy I am hoping the Nitro Sereis will peak my interest with some good numbers in the classes like we had back in the day!

Yeah Ray Drew seems to think he is lucky LOL! I have seen him throw a few in up side down !

Geez Robert China caused that fire not me! No wonder the generator was given to me, it was a bad knockoff of a Honda by the Chinese!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Ron

Yes Rick I still have them however they were both damaged in the last race I attended in 2010, that helped take the wind out of my sails because I really enjoyed those classes. Both are repairable, new cowl for both and a complete re-paint job so it's a pretty expensive venture. I am just going to run the 20 boats for now and try to get the fun factor going again. No Points chasing for me just try to finish ALL my heats no matter what position I am in.

Merry Christmas to Ya Rick! H

Hope your still riding and I sure forgot to get in touch with you this past Oct when we were riding up your way. Wish I had not forgotten to do that, we had a blast!

Good to hear Ron. I know when I was in Florida you had a fast B mono and and a really good running sport 40. I think it was an AC. Loved watching that boat run.

Glad to see you getting back into boating Ron alot has changed since you got out 2.4 radios for one, best thing ever for modeling. Along with LiFe packs for RX and TX and glow drivers really cool not to have to charge everything before you go out.
