Mark Jr., I'm in the same boat (no pun intended). The closest district race for me is about 135 miles away. The closest race is the Hobart Masters race at around 114 miles. In order for me to hit any race I need to take a weekend off from work IF I can get it as I worked the 3-11 shift 6 and 7-day weeks. If not a lot of people sign up for weekend OT then it's possible for me to be forced to work.
I'm still building boats, 4 since last winter but I still have little time to run them. Some that I built more than a year ago still haven't gotten wet.
Mark, I'll see you at Hobart along with many others. I chose not to race there this year, sad to say but I am rolling down on Friday for the day to schmooze with my friends and watch the racing. I'm really excited to see the .12 'riggers in a big event and hoping that others will find out how much we're having with our little boats.
OK, speaking of Hobart. Last year I had one of the first pit spots (behind the library) as people we walking across hte covered bridge from the other park. I was asked a lot of questions by the people of Hobart and the one that was hardest to answer was "Where can I get one at?". There isn't any place near Hobart that really carries RC boats. I did hear of one around Valpo otherwise they'd have to head up towards Chicago. There is a club forming in Hobart but not too many people know about it. Right now I'm kind of an unofficial member of it.
