2014 IMPBA CAN AM - July 26 & 27

[Terry Keeley]

After talking to a few more experienced FE racers we've decided to drop the ESC and "hull and prop mods only" restrictions to our Limited FE classes.

Apparently the 60 amp ESC that comes with many RTR boats fails easily and is usually replaced by a much cheaper 100 amp unit. Also the "hull and prop mods only" can be misconstrued and confusing.

So the only restrictions are:

Stock motors only, 1500/1800/2030 KV.

Ive had a few people ask me how this CAN-AM Cup team event works. The goal is to promote fun & friendship between racers of Canada and the USA. Each team will be randomly drawn at the drivers meeting on Saturday. Each team will consist of 10 racers. The highest scoring boat of each racer will count towards the teams grand total at the end of the event.

Looking for more Twin pilots, perfect size pond for all out twin racing.

4 weeks away and we are already at 82 boats entered on www.rcRacingEvents.com . I have a feeling this is going to be a BIG race.

Closing in on 100 entries.

The Oneida Cup is up for grabs.

Less than a couple weeks away and the classes are filling up nicely.B-)

 

[Terry Keeley]

Less than a week to go and our Can-Am event is shaping up nicely with 127 boats entered so far, the NLMC is looking forward to hosting a great event for our guests.

If you're on the fence I encourage you to attend, we guarantee you'll have a great time!

 

[Terry Keeley]

Everything is in place for a great weekend, weather should be nice, partly cloudy and mid 70's.

We will take entries right up until race day if you want in.

Safe drive, see ya'll on the weekend!

Great weekend , great race. Thanks for passing the Oneida cup over to D2's Jason Green. 10 perfects in 2 classes. Will be back next year to deffend.

 

[Tim Kish]

What a fantastic weekend, lots of great people, tons of really good racing and perfect weather.

Our new Can Am challenge was a big hit with everyone, having the Canadian team winning by a very small margin for the first year of bragging rights.

Twin challenge was a real crowd pleaser, who doesn't like watching them battle side by side for six laps, great fun.

And when was the last time you raced five full rounds and were on the road by 3:30? That's what the NLMBC worked so hard to give it's guests and we delivered with an average of just under eight heats per hour the fun never stopped.

Can't wait till next year, bigger and better.

Tim
