Badger Spring Opener May 19th, 2019

Hello all,

It is that time again to begin the boating season. The Badger Model Boat Club will be holding the first event of the season on May 19, 2019. 30 different classes are available!
NEW- We are welcoming the addition of the Stock Gas Cat class at this race! Please be aware that the engine specifications will follow the Thunderboat class specs. The hull design must follow IMPBA rules.
NEW! this year is that this is a one day event. 3 rounds of racing.
Saturday May 18th is open water from noon until 5pm. There will be a pit gathering this year OPEN TO ALL! from 6pm to 9pm, but simply bring your own food and drink. We will have several grills available and a covered eating area. Camping is allowed but no hookups so bring your generator.

VERY IMPORTANT - we have switched to Racemastersevents.com this year to host our registrations so please signup for an account there and register early! By registering early, other racers can get a handle on what classes will run! You wont have to pay until race day if you just want to register, choose the "Pay by mail" option. If you sign up a boat and have to change it or scratch it before the close of registration, simply email Dave Halverson at [email protected] and let him know what changes need to be made.

Attached is the flyer and informational sheet you will need to register.

Last call this weekend for registration for our race! As of now, we are low on entries and if we dont get more by next week when registration closes, we will have to cancel the race. Right now, I dont think even one class has enough to run... So please go to Racemastersevents.com and signup!

Why is that dave.. what do you feel is the reason for the poor numbers.. PM me if you want

Hello all,

I have extended the signup for this race until Wednesday morning May 15th. Please sign up ASAP as if we dont get any more entries, we will probably have to cancel the race!

Hello all,
It is with deepest regrets that Badger management has had to cancel the race for this coming Sunday May 19th due to low entries and bad weather forecasts. Some of the gang may be at the pond to run anyways, test and tune stuff if anybody wants to show. Simply PM me to make sure a Badger will be there to open the pond before you go.
