Hi Guys,

I have been told that the 2009 Namba Nats are going to be in Seattle. Can anyone help me with the dates/people to contact/location of this event. I'm thinking about making the trip.

Thanks,

Brett Buckmaster

The race probably will be July 11 through 18, 2009. It will be held at Twin Lakes, at the side of the I 5 freeway off the Smokey Point exit near Marysville, Washington. This is a little north of Seattle. The North pond is an excellent, sheltered race site that has been used for straight line events as well as many area races.

It could be another Aussie Invasion like 04.

There's plenty of interest around.

We look forward to you guys coming over. I talked with Wild Bill at the San Jose Nats and told him we would make sure you guys had things like tables, starting gear... available. Please let us know when things get a bit closer how many and what kind of gear you will need to make your visit possible.

Hey Aussies,

You guys are forgetting about the 08 NATS here in Colorado. We have already picked out the Beer Cart for Winks and Wild Bill and stocked with over 20 kinds of beer for you guys. Oh Well I guess the Colorado Beer Drinkers Fest will have to do with-out you guys.

Hey Guy's Thats correct the Nats. will be at Twinn lakes just off of I-5 at exit #206 about 25 miles north of Seattle. The lake is basically a 5 acre rectangle, well protected from wind and we are working hard to make this a Great event. We have raced model boats on this water since 1972 and just a guess but this lake probably holds over a hundred records from names like Ed Fisher,Ron Erickson,Mark Anderson,Bill Hornell and a host of others. This is the north lake of where the N.W. Scale Championship will be held. Hotel and sponsors are being worked on now! We hope you all can make it. Greg

Traditionally, the big hydros run the first weekend in August in Seattle. That would be three weekends after the '09 nats.

They run in tri cities that is about 3-4 hours away around the time of the nats.
