James! That OS is going to be one tired engine when this race is over! It'll be interesting to see how that boat does over the course of the weekend. Get it to the finish line and you may set a record for most trophies won by one boat at one event!! Good Luck!!

yep! Its brand new so I hope she'll make it through the weekend. Everything I own will be on its way to Germany via boat when this race happens, so I had to choose one boat and radio to keep here so I could race. Picked my sport boat so I could run as many classes possible. Gonna have to get Don to ship the boat over to the fatherland when I get there.....

OK RACERS - LET'S GET THOSE ENTRIES ROLLING IN. The nats are all over with and have a chance to catch your breath and regroup. The Charleston Model Boaters is hosting this event as a tunnel championship for all tunnel classes. Even some speciality events to liven things up and to test those "special skills." No monos, riggers, hydros or gas boats to contend with. Just tunnels. We have been hearing for the past several years that some of you would like to have just such a race. We have listened and have invested the time, effort and money to put on a first class meet for YOU.

This is for all of the tunnel bragging rights. Come one and come all. All racers welcome. NAMBA, APBA, IMPBA or unaffiliated it does not matter. The entry form is attached in the first posting on this thread. If there are not over 100 boats entered shame on all of you. Don't pass on the only tunnel championship available. Give it a good support this year and this could be a yearly event. Poor attendance could kill it.

CALL TO ACTION!

I would love for us (AquaCraft) to attend this race and I hate to miss it but it appears I will be out of the country during that time. We will see if we can get a couple others to attend. Sept. is a busy time with trade shows and fourth quarter around the corner but it might be possible.....

However, we will donate a Top Speed 2 ARR kit to the race and sponsor a trophy class. The race director will receive it soon.....

Wish I could be there, I'm sure it will be a lot of fun!

Russ,

That will be absolutely fabulous! How generous and what a great opportunity to showcase the new hull to those that were not able to attend the internats and the special competitions with those boats. I believe the first posting also has the sponsorship form attached to it. If not I can e mail it. Many thanks again for the most generous offer.

ok... James.. on the flyer... why do we have to put the hull type, engine/lower unit, and the prop??? Im just wondering why you ask those questions and what will happen if i dont wanna put it on there? :blink: Are you the right person to be asking this to? Or should i ask John K?? Ill do both... later

 

[BOBBYH]

That's so when we post the race results the the manufacturers that finish up front can get some free advertising. It will tell people who aren't there to see first hand what combinations are finishing up front. I've tried to do this for our races this year in our race REPORTS but it's not as easy to get the info as it should be! :blink:

Just to generate interest for the different hulls, engine and props used by the racers. Shows what combinations are being used as well. Some entries are coming in without the information requested but we will get it for the race report before the race ends! As the saying goes "We will get it sooner or later."

Ok.. Gotcha.. It was a dumb question.. but I was curious... and you dont learn if you dont ask questions.. Thanks..

The only dumb question with boats is "Where can I get one of those??!" :lol:

That is soooo true... But i would still tell anyone who asked, just b/c i think more people need to get into it.. like when i was little (more then i am now) it seemed like there were more people that were into it..

 

[BOBBYH]

We're slowly growing up here. Our attendance is up this year from the past couple/few years but I don't think we'll get back to where we had 10-15 boat classes across the board. There's so many classes now, we offer 21 between the GP & HP series where we used to have only 15 with a single series. It'd be great to get back to those size classes and I really enjoyed fighting for four rounds knowing you had to finish each heat in the top 2-3 to get into the top three for the weekend. This race will be like that! Almost makes me wish I had a tunnel! Almost! B)
