2010 IMPBA International Regatta

[Ron Zaker Jr]

TK answered this for me once...what are the fomulas (again) for calculating MPH?

______ feet / time = mph

Thanks.

1/3rd oval 1200 divided by time in seconds example 20.0 sec lap equals 60mph average

SAW 1/16th mile 225 divided by pass in seconds example 3.21 pass equals 70.09 mph

 

[DON MAHER]

Anyone,

Are the Oval & SAW trials run on a legal course, or just what space is available?

I have never been to a IMPBA nat's, so I don't know how you do this.

Thanks

Yes this was a legal surveyed course good for records if any can be set.

Having good time racing, first three boats have US1 b mono, d mono, sport 40. I have second in scale hydro heat racing, tomorrow time trials for US1

Well I ended up with a tie 1400 US1 points with Mike Hallam I got the firsts in oval ans saw he got the seconds.

US 1 Goes to Mike with a better heat racing points score.

I actually made the Timex run better with a prop pinch and a small 20 tyndall turn fin on the Timex.

It made a 62mph pass and backup pass, center two passes on saw.

Ran open mono offshore today Mark V with his big seaducer and pete c and I ran 20 speedmaster I am in the lead with 425 a win and dnf we will go three more tomorrow

NIGHT RACE RESULTS

We had three night race teams ready to go at dusk one 20 mono and two electric.

Teams were given various things to light up the boats, we had chem light stick and small red and green flashing flaslights.

Bouys had green chem lites out of bounds markers had yellow lites. Of cours we had an offshore type left and right turn course just to make it interesting. :huh:

Mike Laing team has vs1 with a flashing red light on the deck

Dick sturgis team had two green chem lite stickson his electric cruser.

Team dist 4 had petes 20 mono lit up with two flashlites one with green and one red.

they made me drive, mike crawford, mark voorhies, peter collinson were the setup team.

Racing started at 10:30 pm.

Lemans start racing for six laps, cut bouys are a lap penalty.

Plan was to go six clean laps for a win.

The race starts and first in the water was Mike Laing, off he went around the course never to be seen agian

Second was Dick sturgis, slow and steady clean laps got a bit off track about lap 3.

Last in was dist 4 racer Lots of speed and not bad at first, found problems making clean 6 clean laps made about 25 laps with only 5 clean ones before too low on fuel.

Dick Sturgis battery ran low and stoped after three to four laps.

So dist 4 racer was declared winner.

Retrive boat went out on a search for Mikes lost FE vee, found ok doing tight circles.

It was so much fun driving the 20 mono with the headligts on in the dark everyone present had a turn at driving that wanted to give it a try.

20 mono screaming across the lake all you see is two headlights coming the turn and all you see is the red and green lights. HA

Nice Phil!! Maybe the next time they run at night they could pass out night vision goggles to the drivers to help with the experience! Sounds like you had a great time...would be neat to see!!

Final thoughts on the 2010 IMPBA International Regatta.

We the members of the PMBC want to thank the members of the IMPBA for spending your time with us at the Regatta. We truly enjoyed your company, and you the racers, made it a great time for all. Well deserved US-1 Champions we're awarded for their efforts, as we're some hard earned National Championships. We gained many things from you all, friendship, knowledge, you can win a US-1 with 5 buoy cuts, how to remove a mono from our clock base, and many more ever lasting memories.

We had a few minor problems along the way, but together, we all worked them out and made it happen.

We are truly sorry for what happened to the dinner rolls for the banquet, but I guess it was just to be expected.......LOL

Final Results are posted on our web site: www.performancemodelboatclub.com

Good racing to all, and THANK YOU

PMBC

 

[Terry Keeley]

Hey, congratulations to Mike Hallam for winning the President's Cup, good job Mike!!!

 

[Don Ferrette]

First off I'd like to extend a HUGE thank you to Mike Laing and the rest of the PMBC guys for a job well done plus a BIG congrats to Bob Morton for his US-1 and winning the LeFeber award. For anyone who's not had the chance to meet Bob in person I can tell you I'm glad to call him a good friend. Also thanks to Ray Sametz and Dick Tyndall for their help in the pits when I ran, good pit men make things alot easier. Got home about 5pm last night and even after a good night's sleep I'm still exhausted. I had a really good time there hangin' and laughing it up with old friends which made the sting of having my 6 month old transmitter fail while leading the points in both my US-1 classes a little less painful. I'd also like to thank Peter Collinson who was nice enough to let me program my boats for my remaining classes onto his radio so I didn't wind up a spectator for the rest of the week, thanks Pete!! And thanks to Phil Thomas for his "radar gun report" during my laps with the twin, mid 80's passes in 92 degree heat with 90% humidity (basically the hottest day of the week) and the motors set way rich made me happy. I'll be looking forward to seeing everyone in Hobart in September who missed this one. B)

 

[Robin Hallam]

We would like to add another huge thank you to Mike Laing and the Performance Model Boat Club for hosting a great Internats!! Carter enjoyed his first Internats despite the heat and humidity...thank goodness for the froggy pool!

Congratulations to Mike Hallam for winning US-1 in both D Hydro and 1/8 Scale...you deserve it after all these years of racing! Congrats on the President's Cup too!

Thank you to everyone who helped pit for us this week. It's tough when all 3 of us run in the same class and there's a baby to watch....thank goodness for Grandma!!

We had a great time this week and look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Robin, Steve, & Carter

 

[Bob Kensill]

I would like to add my name to the list of drivers that think that Mike Laing and the Performance Model Boat Club put on a great race and nobody went home bored. Between the the "shootout" style of heat racing,the food,and the extra "fun" events, everyone had a great week of racing. Even Mother Nature cooperated most of the time(the awards ceremony reminded me of normal 20 tunnel water). I can't beleive that all my shaking on the driver's stand didn't(or maybe it did) interfere with other driver's concentration.lol This was my best Internats ever. Again thanks to all that were involved. By the way did I mention that the food was great!!
