CMB/Fall Nationals pond updates

[Randy Corbin01]

The 2023 Fall Nationals will be held for the FINAL time at our current home pond on October 5-8 on Johns Island. Our contract ends this year after this race because the property owners across the pond would like to sleep late on the weekends and there's something about highly tuned two stroke and nitro motors that make that impossible. The CMB has already secured a new spot for the 2024 Fall Nationals but right now our focus is on putting on the race of the year. The CMB will be posting the sign up release dates soon and we look forward to seeing and racing with everyone soon.

Just got back from seeing the new pond. The site will be awesome with plenty of room for wide open racing, the sun will travel left to right so no morning glare issues and no more fighting weekday traffic between the hotels and the new location.

Great news, got a map location?

I edited and renamed this thread so people don't think it's still regarding the 2023 Fall Nats event. Easier to just retitle than start new since new location was already being discussed on here. With that being said.......

It's game on folks! Ground has been broken at the new Charleston Model Boaters pond. More pics to come as site work progresses.

This thread is about the progress of the new CMB pond and not promoting other races. It has been cleaned up accordingly.

Comprehension is everything, huh.

Looks like is going to be an awesome race site !!!

 

[Mark Poole ModVP]

Get the appropriate pond chemicals to deal with that green growth on the other side. It will get out of control if not.

You guys rock! Looks like a great site. I will have to make the Fall Nats in 2024 for sure.
