About four weeks away and we have 150+ boats entered, it's looking like a great event for 2022.

Since we're a little light on Nitro and FE entries we've decided to lower the cutoff to three boats to make a class with first place only awarded.

Looking forward to seeing ya'll soon!

Hello all FE enthusiasts in Ontario.

My name is Steve Reesor, an old FE enthusiast from the Metro Marine Modeler heydays when we ran at Lakefront Promenade and had a very loyal and vibrant club racing contingent. I used to race internationally and even dabbled in SAW events. I left the hobby 12 years ago, but returned during Covid for something to keep me busy while hibernating at home.

Life circumstances further prevented a full return to racing over this past year with my wife being ill and passing away recently.

So I have some boats built now and looking to get to a race to meet some old friends and rekindle the FE passion that I know still resides in the hearts of the FE gang here in Ontario. I know there are some very fast guys here in Ontario and bordering US States that may be reluctant to travel, reluctant in this current inflationary environment to travel to a race.

That being said - to rebuild the community - you gotta be willing to travel around to meet fellow FE nerds, they will reciprocate when you travel to them. Racing is not really that scary. The events are not really that intimidating. Everyone is there for one reason and one reason alone - to toss a boat in the water and see where you work product stacks up. Not only that - no better place to get advice and learn from fellow boaters.

This hobby is not cheap - we spend a lot of time and $$$ building our boats - why not expand where and when you can run them. Travel restrictions have been lifted, common sense and due diligence protects all of us now - so dust off what you got and enter a race for some old school/new school fun.

My expectations are simple: re-learn routines, get advice, see where I stand, but more importantly - MEET people. People regardless of the fuel type make these events worth every penny spent. Remember we aren't getting paid here for this - our reward is comradery and memories!

Hope some of you will reconsider this event and enter - plenty of time to get ready. Plenty of people to help you, pit for you.

Steve
 
Amazing first day of racing and today is shaping up to be even better.
This race has become very popular due to the very hard work of the entire NLMBC group, if you are looking to attend one of the premier events in all of IMPBA then this is it.
Great job guys , this race has become something very special 👏

We were back at 50 Point after the covid hiatus and the NLMBC crew hasn't missed a beat. Great event, great location. Shoot out scoring is used to make the race even better.

If you have been on the fence to go to this event you need to jump off and enter next year. The park has a great sandy beach, hook ups for campers, and Niagara Falls is only 30 minutes away so there is plenty for all to do while racing boats. Border crossing was a breeze. We came in through NYS and it was 10 minutes on the way in to Canada and 10 minutes to get back in the states.

Thank you to Terry, Randy and the entire NLMBC crew on a top notch race. See ya next year,

Matt
 
By all accounts our Can-Am for 2022 was a huge success, it was great to see old friends again after a crazy couple of years.

Mark your calendar for August 26 & 27, 2023 and we hope to see you then.

The "Can-Am cup" went to team USA this year in a very close 5575 to 5019 score, that makes the series tied at four apeace.
