Carolina Showdown 2008, May 16-18

[Scott Norris]

Hope you can make it Will. It's a Fun Race. I know they use the IMPBA LSG Classifications but I don't know where the Quickdraw would fall in. Maybe Chuck will chime in and enlighten you.

Hope to see you there.

If the gas rules are the same as we use in Atlanta, i should be fine as we dont go by LS and XLS IMPBA rules, so Zenoahs, CY's, Quickdraw's, etc. all run together.

Im hoping i can make it. Its the weekend of my birthday and we have a district race the weekend after..... but i sure would like to come lay the smack down on mr hemric since we didnt get a clean race against each other in cat this past weekend

 

[Mike Hemric]

Will LSG is open class and if you come to the race I'm sure you will get anther shoot in the cat class but we have alot more faster cats than mind.Just to name a few guys Trent,Don,Earl,Mike Hart,Ivan,Green Mile and Mike B. No need to do all the smack talk just bring it to the pond.

[piper_chuck]

With today's entries we're at 36 drivers and 150 boats, give or take a few. Thanks everyone for the support!

I know there are lots of people who still haven't sent in their entries. Let's get them in so I can get the classes built soon.

 

[piper_chuck]

:blink: Whew! :blink: What have I gotten myself into? :huh: I'm going to take a slightly different approach. If it makes any difference, I'd be more than happy to add entries for D Mono and/or D Hydro if it helps make classes. Just let me know and I don't mind short notice.

Chris, D mono and D hydro could both use another boat. I'll post the current count for all classes in a few minutes.

"As far as D & E Mono and for that matter all the Nitro Mono Classes that You seem determined to Write Off...."
Scott, as I have been trying to tell you it NEVER was a write off, constantly canceling the classes at the races for the last couple years was the real "write off". Both the boaters & clubs suffered through canceled classes with no place to race and wasted $$ on trophies. The ONLY reason this even came up was in fact we were looking for a way to get those one or two of each D, E & F monos that would enter the races a place to play. I said it before & I'll say it again- what is better, telling people to leave their boat(s) home or offering a class where they can at least mix it up? And BTW- the original thought was to do B, D and E/F until a certain D12 member swayed things a little by talking up how he bested a field of open mono with his 40 .........

If you & Gavin attend more D12 races this year we stand a better chance of making the mono classes but we'll have to wait and see. h34r:

Yup, we'll drink this one off in a few days. Oh yeah, bring me a 5th of Bacardi & we're even on the MAC84 wrist pin I had sent to you.

Scott,

Sorry I have been away from the site for awhile with my work load. I hope you do come up to the D12 races as I enjoyed talking and hanging out with you and Gavin. The individual Don was talking about with regards to running a 40 mono against 60 & F monos was myself. We had a dilema similiar to what is ocurring now, and only had two 40 mono's two 60 monos and one f mono able to race up at a D12 race in Delmarva several years ago. We drivers took a vote and agreed to run all three classes together. (my 60 mono took a crap as the Picco 67EXR broke a rod and 2 of the F monos broke in practice on Friday) I ended up winning the open mono even with my 40 mono by driving tight lines in lane one hard on the bouys. Larry Glidden had a OS 81 F mono and we really went at each other all weekend he had 2 first place finishes and 2 second place finishes as did I. I won because in the last heat he hit a bouy chasing me down and took second place in the heat. The point is we had a blast and we all got to run our mono's and had a great time, if we had not agreed to do this the mono classes with the exception of 20 mono would have been dead for that weekend / event. Just so you know I had a highly modified CMB 45 in a very well set up 42" Twincraft. Hope to see you at the NC D12 race.
