Incredible what he's doing to the record book, gives us mere mortals something to shoot for!

I saw Huntsville was below sea level this morning with no wind and was wondering if anyone was ready, evidently so!

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Martin is running over 130 now with his twin! That’s just awesome!

Great to see and talk to you Mike-I wasn't feeling very good but I didn't want to miss this TT's. Nothing like watching a nitro boat make 136+mph runs. Videos are okay but there is nothing like seeing it and hearing it in real time --WOW!!!! Hope to see you at the next TT's.

 

[David Swisher]

Contact Rick Grim for the IMPBA portion of the event or Mark Grim for the NAMBA portion.

David

If you want to run in the NAMBA and/or IMPBA time trials, you will need current membership cards and numbers.

We have been using the dual association TT's for quite awhile now.
This year the NAMBA dates are 26-27 Nov and the IMPBA dates are 28-29 Nov 21.

As far as getting signed up for the IMPBA dates, we make a sign up sheet from the guys that are present and that sets the run order. NO other paperwork is required. Normally the District 5 events are listed on: RC Events Schedule | Www.nambadistrict5.com, but I don't see it on the current calendar.

Any other questions you can call me at 256-656-0859 or my e-mail is [email protected]

[David Swisher]

[David Swisher]

Contact Rick Grim for the IMPBA portion of the event or Mark Grim for the NAMBA portion.

Thank you Bill

 

[David Swisher]

IMPBA WOULD BE PREFERABLE

Is Bob Londress going to cook some chicken legs and wings? Asking for a friend

The experts we have contacted concerning the Milfoil in the pond have assured us that it will lay down with the colder weather. I have been watching and the pond is less obstructed today then it was two weeks ago. We have about two weeks until the Turkey TT. The low temps for Saturday-Monday are just above freezing. Our bird bath was frozen twice this week.
I feel confident the weeds are going to be gone for the TT. We are proceeding as originally planned. 26-27 Nov 21 NAMBA, 28-29 Nov 21 IMPBA.
Hope to see you at the pond. Dress warm as it has been colder than normal this month.
