HOBART 2014

[John Beardslee]

Thanks to all !!!! This event should be on everyone list of must do's. Great time, Great City, Great Race Site, Great Competition!!! I like the 4 day format, but what retired "Old Dog" wouldn't, it gives plenty of time to visit with old friends and meet new ones.

The five round format allows you to recover from a dead heat

Thanks to the city of Hobart and the crew from Indy for putting on a good race. Jerry Dunlap, thanks for hauling my boats around so much on Saturday in the retrieve boat. He made more laps hauling my boats than I drove them.

Well, at least there's pictures of your 1/8 Scale finishing round 5.

Nice to see the scores, makes the race better running 5 rounds against stiff competion.

In Sport40 hydro did Jeff win a run off for 2nd against Mike Z or was it a coin toss? Chris T kind of ran away from the competion and it was closer points in 2nd to 5th.

Nice to see My SSP45 placing in the top spots.

Great job for Bryon in sport20 hydro His SSP21 still runs great with 4 firsts, what happen in round 1?

Congrats to Rob B with his win in scale hydro, the points were close thru the top 5 spots.

Great win for Dick T in Tboat, 1st thru 3rd was a close point race, but Dick how does one get 19 points for a heat score?

Congrats to all the winners but a special congrats to Rob Betke in Scale. Rob has been on a roll winning the past 3 scale finals here in D-2 and continuing the roll at Hobart. Nice job man. See you on Sunday at Spencer Park.

Great win for Dick T in Tboat, 1st thru 3rd was a close point race, but Dick how does one get 19 points for a heat score?

It's called fourth place with 3 buoys cuts.

I was calling for Dicky (as I generally do) and he got pinched down in the first corner and ran over a buoy. He found out at the next turn it had virtually no steering control from the rudder getting kicked up (hence the 2 more cut buoys) so I told him to stay real wide, go slow enough to still have some control of the steering and limp it home. Even 19 is still better than a zero

HA good save, but it ould have been better by 6 points to just shut it off before the finish line and take a dnf, but you all didnt know that.

Incorrect Phil as a DNF is 25 points and the 3 buoy cut deductions would have made it a zero.

There was a lot of debris in the water Saturday morning and although the crew in the retrieve boat did the best that they could with the water moving so fast through the lake it kept coming after the storm. in the first round of Jersey Skiff, one hull ended up with a big hole in it and mine had a chunk missing up towards the bow but just patched mine over with radio box tape. Several rudder shear pins got broken throughout the day. I was told by one of the locals that there are a lot of beaver dams upstream so that may be where a lot of the wood came from.

We'll just blame it on the good meds they gave for your recovery.

Hey guys. If anyone has pics they want to share and go into the Roostertail please send them to the IMPBA office. Really looking for Ron Jr. and his Hall Of Fame plaque. And Mike that boat does not make her butt look fat. LOL!!

 

[Ron Olson]

Chris, Kevin was looking for shots of that from the race also so I don't know if he got any. I didn't take as many as I'd wished I had and left my photographer (daughter-in-law) home for the week.

Sheila started that joke about the boat and her butt! It was going on before she wore the T-shirt.

Uncle Phil, we all missed you there and were hoping that you would have shown up on Saturday. Just don't bust up anything next year!
