Brandon's 4th annual Twin Rigger Shootout

[Bill Gibson]

Sleepy, tired, sore.....LETS DO IT AGAIN TODAY! GO FAST must have set an all time aiborne distance record with his twin yesterday...ive never seen a model boat fly that far...if only it could have landed upside up!

 

[Rhonda Pickard]

Anybody know how things are going in Brandon and who is doing good Robert

 

[HTV Boats]

Very cool the scores are posting on RCracingEvents seemingly as the race is going on. Someone must have an internet hookup at the site. Bill Gibson is the king of A hydro again. Gary Toops hang in there and bring home the hardware.

Thanks to the Brandon gang for a great event. It felt good to get out and race in D3 again. The wind was crazy but the racing was great as always. This was my first time racing a twin shootout and I was doing pretty good until the rough water beat the skin off the bottom of my tub and allowed water to enter my left radio box taking out my steering. All I had to do was come around turn two and cross the line. Oh well....Better luck next time! People ask me why I run two Rx's and this is why. If I had only one Rx I would not have been able to kill the engines before it went into the weeds. Great safety feature and it saved two engines from being destroyed! A $100.00 receiver is much cheaper then $1200.00 worth of engines.

You did mention something interesting that your bottom sheeting came off the bottom of the boat so in this case yea lucky you had 2 receivers but if the bottom of your boat never would have broke then you would have been fine if you only ran 1 RX too..

Racing is all about the luck of the draw 50/50 when your in the water that your boat might not come back..

I dont ever remember feeling so "wiped out" after a race when i got home Sunday night....had a GREAT time seeing everybody! Marty, Rod, Tom...thanks for all your help in 20 Hydro....Marty, i PROMISE to give you your "magic prop" back ...it worked great! Running your boat has just been fantastic! Great job Brandon Club.....ALWAYS a great time! WAY TO GO LARRY BEALS for bringin it back to the NITRO CLAN!! "Go Fast", ive never seen a boat go thru the incidents your twin did this weekend, and still come out basically in one piece....a real testament to how well Roadrunner boats are made! Perry and Randy, I was fully prepared to get my ass kicked by both of ya in Scale Hydro, but you guys didnt show up....what happened?? :lol:
