2016 World OB Tunnel Championships

[RonShaw]

John,

How many kneelers do you need? I can enter mine if it will help keep that class. Let me know. Thanks.

 

[John Knight]

Ron - there is a 5 class minimum to cover the cost of the awards. The Kneeler and OB Hydro each had 3 so we are 2 short. So did the F Tunnel but they can be rolled into the usual E/F class. We tried to run the F class alone but did not get the numbers.

If you guys can come up with 1 more each for the Kneeler and OB Hydro I guess we can run them. Let me know immediately to re-enter the classes. Time is critical as I have to get the list of awards in nlt Friday. I can work with that.

Mic - point taken. I am good with the fastest lap competition, it was fun when we did it before. If you want to take the lead for running it for those interested, I also think that Friday afternoon would be a good time. After then we can start the race if people are ready.

Work on it guys, let's see if we can keep it going.

John I will sign up right now for OB hydro......so count me in. Also am trying to get another kneeler.......if not RC Boating Today will sponsor the class.....it will be a shame not to run them, they are a lot of fun!

Ron thanks for stepping up!

See you guys soon, Jeff

Hi John,

I paid for Gas Tunnel because there was no longer an entry for OB Hydro.......but you should have the PayPal....please put me in OB Hydro! Thanks, Jeff Maturo

 

[John Knight]

Guys,

Jeff Maturo has graciously offered to pay for the Kneeler and the OB Hydro classes to ensure they run and that we will. In a little bit will return those classes. Will reconstruct the classes and with the correct entrants in them.

 

[Jeffmaturo]

Things are looking good!

Ron D. and I will not be able to make it this year. We have too many irons in the fire at the moment. Enjoy the race fellas!!!

 

[rumrunner]

[Jeffmaturo]

12 days and counting.......

 

[Jeffmaturo]

Anyone have pictures of the site post tornado? I was wondering if there were any trees left to help shade the pits.....thanks

 

[John Knight]

Jeff,

There are a few trees remaining but we lost over 80% of them. Such a shame as it was a well shaded race site. But we have done the best we could with a very tough situation.

 

[Jeffmaturo]

No problem! I will just make sure to bring my canopy. Last year was so nice and shaded you really did not even need it...........

 

[Bob Kensill]

John and I ran Sunday. My .21 and .67 are ready. Just need to dial

in the .45

 

[John Knight]

We actually ran Saturday. Very good for us.

John has left it up to the racers if we want to have a timed 2 lap event for each class. Any interest? Will take a couple hours out of Friday afternoon to do if a majority want to run. Good test info and bragging rights for the season. Who's in and who's scared?

Mic

 

[Jeffmaturo]

Sure why not! I'm in......

Race Update:

The entry period is now closed and working on the race setup and heat sheets. Hope the changes and drops are done.

We cannot get a food vendor to come in with the low numbers of racers coming in. Plan on bringing your own provisions for lunch each day. If time will allow for a mid day break for lunch we will do it. Decision at race time.

Weather info can be found for John's Island, zip of 29455. Rcracingevents also has a weather link for each race on the site including this one.

Should be a good race. Let's have fun and bring a fun attitude from all.

 

[Jeffmaturo]

Sounds great, can't wait.

 

[rumrunner]

We're here lake tomorrow.
