Brandon Race and Twin Shootout

[Ray Sametz]

Wow, looks like Rd 1 in A- hydro was a disaster, no finishes.

 

[Andy Greene]

An absolute blast today Brandon Models Boaters.

Thank You B)

Somehow once again the weather gods where kind at least until the awards ceremony ,

hasn't stopped since though.

I managed to steal a second in X-Mono and Im not complaining because I need to replace my hull before the next race now :blink:

Figured out why it layed down so bad in the 4th heat after I got home and stripped it down

Im happy to report a Nitro boat won the Twin Shootout-

Although it was a little wild in the final :huh: I will let the twin pilots fill in the blanks.

Eat /shower/ sleep / time .........

Thanks again guys and gals, I smiled ear to ear all weekend = AWESOME B) B) B) B) B)

Big thanks to all the Brandon Model Boaters core crew that always make a great race happen working through all the stuff that comes up . Master CD's Randy Premo, Don Riek , Marty Davis , Ray Kindred , John Otto, Ron Drake ...these guys know what time it is and are Masters of the Tower while us Drones go out and burn Nitro and Gas !!! Richie Moore with his " Lane 1 is Mine " driving style put it all together while chumps like me tried to get past the CONTAINER SHIPS in Twin Rigger Shootout !!!

Big thanks to all !!

The real story of the whole race is that the ballsy decision was made to continue racing facing 80 - 90 % weather odds ...Thank You for that ...it aint over till its over !! Big showing from Southwest and Southeast Florida and without these guys all the races would be less attended for sure , these guys race hard in many different classes !

\A very inspiring showing from caring Dads that have their kids racing , all great kids and an inspiration for model boat racings future , Kudos for getting the kids involved !!



On to the next one ......and at the end of the day , with all the stuff that comes up ...it was a KILLER RACE

Mary and I have always said the nicest people race in Brandon! Whether it was chasing after boats or keeping the pits moving, every job was done friendly and with attention to detail. Our hats off to the Brandon club and to everyone who did there part to make it a great race to attend. We'd love to see the twin shoot out become an annual Brandon event. Excellent CD'ing from Randy Premo and all the gang who did the dirty deed. We hope everyone arrives home safely....

O Wilfong son,

You bring knife to gunfight in round 4 offshore.

Gunfighters kill each other in one shot..........

End of story.

Thanks for putting up with my shennanigans, glad to see you having fun.

You need a bigger boat for sure. That .45 rs has to work too hard for Gene and Tommy, but when they do the thump - n - flip, it's easy to get points.

After my visit Saturday I am getting the itch to come out and play toy boats again! I charged the batteries in the Lynx and the radio is talkin to me but I did have a bad switch I will have to replace. 20 Mono will be next to shake the cobwebs off of. I do have to replace the Starter box batteries and my glowbee hasnt woke up yet after two days of charging so looks like my wallet is coming into play already LOL.

Like they say if you wanna play you gotta pay.............

It was great seeing you Ron and sounds great you be back boating hope to see you maybe in Melborne. Robert
