2012 Northwest Scale Hydroplane Championship Race

[jwo]

I Believe their was 13 1/7 scale electric hydro's, 4 T-boats, 29 1/8 scale's and 11 Gas Scales. The points only get you to the final. Then it's winner take all. For the years points got the respective clubs websites for 1/8 Scale at RCU http://rcunlimiteds.org/ and UNW http://unlimitedsnw.org/ For Gas Scale at PNWTA http://www.pnwta.org/ 1/7 scale electric's http://www.scalehydro.com/ and T-Boats at http://www.namba8.com/

Allan, see post number 8.

Points are really of no consequence except to get in the conny's and finals. Nobody remembers who was second.....lol

What did Dale Earnhardt say? "Second place is just the first loser"

Mike did you build the U-3 that won the race? Very Nice boat!!

Lee Robertson both massaged and drove my U 3 Holset Turbo. Lee really worked his mojo and got the boat working well. I had 3 people that wanted to buy it at the race ( I declined, that's just what I need-get my butt kicked by my own boat) :mellow: . He was looking good until the connie and it went into the bank. Not nearly as much damage as it could have been. Just blew the clear canopy apart on a low hanging branch.

It was tough to see anything in the left turn late in the day.
