Was behind the power curve and stressing out getting boats ready for the season. Thanks to Baltimore Club President Larry Roberts for taking the day off today and painting with me in his heated garage. Spending the afternoon with good friends and toy boats.. It just doesnt get any better!!!

Yellow, who wudda thunk it ??? - LOL Looks good mike, i don't even want to talk about behind! Larry's another reason i like racing in d-12(-;

 

[Chilli]

Thanks Robin. I'm the Lamar Huff or D12. All my boats gotta be yellow. Sure hope he doesnt need yellow paint any time soon.. LOL I'm sure you'll get everything together come race time. LMK if you need a hand.

 

[Larry Roberts]

Ok almost ready.67 cmb

 

[John Finch]

Charles........you should have my entry by now. Looks like the 1/8th scale electric class is not going to make. Chilli's not ready and Don is selling his and hasn't started building his new one yet so...........take me out of 1/8 electric scale and use that entry for gas rigger instead. Same freq. 2.4.

Thanks,

John

That's what I'm talking about!!

More open nitro single/fe riggers running together as a combined class with .45 to.80 singles & I don't know for sure on power, but 8s to 10s fe's together. The boats are in the district, a class could prolly happed for e or f nitro. Some folks would have to drag them outta mothballs, though.....

The open FE/Nitro hydro (and mono) class came about because the nitro boats became thin and those classes weren't making the minimums. 8 and 10S FE hydros are fairly comparable and a good .45 these days will run with an .80 (my .45 and .80 Crapshooters both ran in the 80's before I sold them). The classes for this year have been set as per district voting and if we see consistent turn out of a given size nitro hydro (or mono even) then it can be brought up for consideration at this seasons end for next year. And by consistent we're talking at least 3 or 4 at each race.

 

[John Crouch]

I plan on being there, will be running 3 classes, Gas Mono, Gas Sport Hydro, and Jersey Skiff. My Thunder Boat wont be done in time to race. Looking forward to the first race of the D12 season......

 

[Neil LaGarry]

I'm planing on coming down.I just hope we get soft water before I come down. I need to setup a few new hulls. I was planing on using RCracing events. If it's not up by Thursday Ill go the snail mail route. GSH 27, Open gas cat, Gas rigger ,Sport 40 The sport 40 is the only I've races last season. My gas cat is a 290 Zen is that OK I do have a spare 260 if not.

Neil go ahead and mail it in to me so you will get to run the classes you want. Rcracingevents may still be down for awhile so entries I have in hand are the ones that matter.

Bill said the site should be back up sometime tomorrow.

 

[Matt Smith]

My entries, along with a check will be mailed tomorrow.

Looking forward to this race.

 

[bsmtboy2]

Thanks Matt for the quick response. Thanks Don for the heads up I just saw the update that its back up and running now.

 

[bsmtboy2]

Registration can now be done via pay pal on rcracingevents.com in addition to mail ins so now you have options. Get'em in guys time is getting short 3 weeks to go......

 

[Don Ferrette]

As much as I like the new Ft. Ritchie site and was looking forward to seeing everyone I will not be able to make this event. We are smack in the middle of a $1.2 million chiller replacement project at work that looks to keep me local until at least the end of April. Gonna miss hangin' with you guys...............

 

[John Finch]

Charles,

I had asked earlier to change my 1/8th scale entry to gas rigger but see it was entered into rcracing events as 1/8th scale. I just want to make sure it gets changed to not cause delays at the pond.

John

 

[bsmtboy2]

Will make the switch John in both areas no problem.
