Turns out the Winter Nats had also posted the same week of 1/13/23-1/15/23. Therefore, to promote "RC Boat Racing" the Brandon Model Boaters has moved the Nitro Winter Championships race to the following weekend. See first message.

Jeff,
A final decision on sport 20 has yet been determined. The event is well over 4 months out. Yes, it is a new class, but I have yet to see one at a Florida event.

 

[Jeff Barnes]

No problem up in D2we have quite a few when I went to Celina I think we had 15 then I'm going to Evansville and they have a bunch let me know

 

[Bradley Maglinger]

Sport 20 was ran there in 2019, 2020, 2021(Huntsville) and they all had two heats per round if memory serves me correct. I was scratching my head why it wasn’t offered in 2022. Always a great time at this race.

Thanks, John

Thanks, John

It will be no later than 10/15. Does not make sense to me to have registration open more than 3 months prior to the event. The race will likely be posted on www.rcracingevents.com for simplicity. Bill has a nice program

 

[John Beardslee]

Thanks Mark, I totally agree.
