Thanks for the support guys!
The races assume the pond is large enough, but I don't see any problems. The digging starts November 2nd.
Like discussed at the Brick Pond driver's meeting, Stony Pond will be hosting two of the six total 2013 NY State Championship Series races.
We also would like to host a race on August 10-11 that will be seperate from the NY series. I would like to do something different and was thinking of doing a championship race that includes heat racing, oval time trials, and SAW time trials. This would be similar to what is sometimes done at the IMPBA Internats. Heat racing would be on Saturday and time trials on Sunday. The heat racing results would be weighted x 2. The time trials would be x 1. So, a first place in all three events would give you a 1600 score. A first in both time trial events, but only a 3rd in heat racing would give you a 1250 score. The highest combined scores win for the weekend. The one boat rule would be strictly enforced. You have to heat race the same boat you run in the time trials. Any thoughts on this format?
The above format obviously assumes my timing system is done, but it should be. The timing system will be set up very similar to the IMPBA system. I plan to purchase a transit and stake the A,B,C, and D points (Refer to IMPBA rule book.) so that the course can be checked for accuracy easily.
I am very excited about Stony Pond racing next year. The site will be always setup for racing so no wasted time setting up and tearing down. That means more open water time and race time. The water will be debris free and since I am the property owner, we can control other potential problems like turtles and water fowl. No RV limit and no generator restrictions.
I would like to thank Luc White, our D1 director. Thanks Luc!
Without Luc, we would not have been able to get started as an IMPBA club as easily. He is always there to help!
