I will be providing text and photos for an article on the event for RC Boat Modeler. Matt Boyd, of RC Boat Modeler, was very interested in coverage. The challenge now will be for JD to remember to bring along his camera. :unsure:

BTW - I think Grim meant "it is blowing a gale" in his previous post.
JD, BRING YOUR CAMERA!!! I will be taking photos as well, as I plan on doing an article for the Roostertail. That is great news that RCBM is considering an article about the tunnel race!
Kris, yesterday I made two laps with the FE boat and the batteries were at 140 degrees! I am going to have to do some serious depropping.... It didnt impress me quite like I wanted, but I think it has the potential. The boat handles great, just not quite as fast as I would've liked. The motor and speedo did just fine temp wise, but I want to go faster!
These guys better whatch out for my mod and sport entry though, they are smoking. The first time the Villain Extreme hit the water was unbelieveable, rarely do you get a tunnel that doesnt have to be touched....
The twin is extremely fast and reliable, but the hull has handling issues. The same issues as Ive had with it since day one, even with a single engine setup.. Not sure if its gonna make it.... but man does it sound sweet! I have some work to do.

See you guys soon!
