The 2018 NAMBA Lone Star Nationals will be hosted by the Dallas RC Thunderboats from Oct. 20th to Oct. 27th! We have a great race site at McInnish Park in Carrollton, TX. This Nationals event will follow the previous year's format by offering gas, nitro and electric classes.

Our race site is located approx. 15 miles from Dallas Love Field airport and 13 miles from DFW airport. Six Flags, ATT stadium and downtown Dallas are all within 25 miles, downtown Ft. Worth is approx 35 miles and Winstar Casino is 65 miles. The Texas State Fair will also be open until Oct. 21st and there is a DART train station located 3 miles that will drop you off right at the entrance gates.

Since we are located in a city park, the City will be allowing us to use 2 large parking lots for RV's, but you must be self contained. For those that are not self contained, Sandy Lake RV park is within 1 mile of the park.

Three of the fastest growing classes in District 7 will also be offered as exhibition classes, Sportsman Mono, Gas Outboard Tunnel and LoneStar Enduro. Electric 1/8th Scale Unlimited Hydroplane is also a fast growing class and will be offered following NAMBA rules.

Link to the Rules for the 3 exhibition classes... Exibition Class Rules

Heat racing format for sorting of heats will be done following the format used at our District 7 races.

Round 1 is preset

Round 2 will be set by how you finished in round 1

Round 3 will be set by how you finished in round 2

Round 4 will be set by how you finished in round 3

Heats will be set by how you placed in the previous round.

Heats will be kept as even as possible.

The 2019 NAMBA Nats is scheduled to be in Utah. Huntsville is scheduled to host the 2020 NAMBA Nats.
 
My sister just moved to Southlake Texas. Its only 20 mins away from the lake. Looks like I have me a place to stay. Hopefully can squeeze it in with work. But planning on coming. I can fly with the twin, 67 hyd, 21 hyd. Might have to ship a couple more and make a week of it. My A stk is hauling the mail now. Eric Bourlet is supposed to retired around then. I have been bugging him to drive down for some fun. We shall see.

John,

What days would open water be available if time allows? There's a group of us from the Indianapolis area looking at going to the race.
Hi Brian,

We'll have open water available at the end of each race day - the open water will be for the classes running the following day. Leading up to the event, we'll have full open water October 18th and 19th.

If you're planning to attend, get those entries in.

Hope to see you in October.
