2008 Hydrofest

[Tom Kelly]

This years Hydrofest will feature 5 rounds of racing with the top 6 boats advancing to the 5th round. It will be the "shoot out" format, meaning all the top boats from the previous round will ge put together in the next round. We will be running 1/8 Scale, Sport 40, Electric Scale, Novice, and new this year, Roundnose Scale. If you have a Roundnose Scale, you can enter in both the 1/8 Scale class and Roundnose Scale class. Where else can you run 5 rounds in one day!

The winner of 1/8 Scale will receive the "Champions Cup" Trophy for one year. This trophy has been in our district since 1980, there is a lot of history associated with it!

I got some good testing in last Saturday with the scale boat. I was able to get some really good data with the Eagle Tree recorder.

How many scale boats do you have up to this point? The weather looks great for this weekend, should be some good fast racing! Josh-

[Josh Stollfuss]

[Tom Kelly]

I'm still looking for some more. I would like to have another heat of Roundnose Scale, anybody interested? Sign in is always open!

 

[larcor69]

Great day of racin, had a blast, thanks to all that put the race on!!

 

[jstolz]

Tom,

I had a great time. You guys put on a well run race. I have never been to a Nitro race. I plan on coming back next year. I'll bet I could get a couple more of us Electric guys to come.

[Joe Wiebelhaus]

How about some results ? Complete rundown

As past Hydrofest Champion, I really miss this race.

 

[T.S.Davis]

I had a great time.

Me too! Despite the nasty weather we still had fun. We really appreciate the invitation.

Maybe next year we can get together ahead of time and figure out what will bring the locals out of the woodwork a little better. 1/8 scale FE should have brought out the travellers but they all had obstacles this year. Maybe Sport 40 FE and our clubs Super Sport Hydro (think Sport 20 sized boats on an inexpensive Aquacraft motor).

Our club is racing for points out at Camp Dearborn this weekend. All of you are welcome to come out and see what we're up to. I'm sure we could squeeze in some heats for you guys if you bring toys with you. We run at a really relaxed pace.
