SPRING NATS ENTRY UPDATE

We have 218 boats entered as of last night (1/11/07) @ 9:00PM EST. The initial cut off for this race is 225 boats. If your entry is not already en route it is more than likely too late for you to make it in this year.

Once we hit the cap (probably tonight or tomorrow) we will only be accepting entries to fill in the heats that exist when we hit the 225 cap. We will be posting a list of the available "fill-in" spots as soon as possible.

We sincerely appreciate your overwhelming response to the 2007 AMB SPRING NATS!!!

Thanks,

Lamar Huff

President AMB

Well one thing I hope is that things are skewed a little differently in terms of individual class limits. Last year an extremely popular class, sport 40, got restricted to one heat. Hopefully things will work out to everyone's satisfaction. B)

 

[captwalter]

Don thanks for reminding me. We ran sport 40 so we remember. Also last year the four scale boats from Florida all ran together. I hope that this year the race committee will try to split up the Florida guys so that we can race against boats from other states and Districts. Will forward this recommenation on to Lamar. Thanks again, Perry

ENTRY UPDATE

Hey Gang,

I spoke w/ Wendy just a few moments ago and a ton of entries show up on Friday. She has not loaded them into the computer yet so I can not say exactly where we stand, but for all practical purposes we have hit the 225 boat cap.

Wendy is going to enter everything tomorrow. I will be posting the entrant list along w/ the available "fill-in" slots tomorrow evening.

On behalf of the Atlanta Model Boaters I would like thank each and every one of you for your continued support of this great event.

Thanks,

Lamar Huff

Not that I registered this year, but I find it strange that you still haven't limited the number of boats per person so as to "satisfy" more of the people. I believe it was a couple or three years ago you posted a boat limit and then quickly turned about face because a few threatened not to attend. I don't know the exact ratio but I think it would make more sence to accomodate and satisfy 110 plus racers, than it would 80-90. For the few that would choose not to come because of a decision to limit the number of boat entries per person, there would be three or four willing to take their place. Don't freak on me for my post. You have a premier race site that sells out in record time. Why not make it available to as many racers as possible. Just a suggestion....
