Charleston Model Boaters Race in June

[John Knight]

The Charleston Model Boaters (CMB), Charleston, SC is pleased to announce the holding of our invitational race in June. It is called the South Carolina Championships and will be held on June 18 & 19 at our race site in Walterboro, SC.

There is a 150 boat limit that has been imposed. Do not wait or delay in entering as we fully expect it to be an early sellout like Atlanta's race this coming weekend. We will accept sign ups with payment at the race this weekend if desired. Entry deadline is 11 June.

We will be offering a novice class that can run 20/40 monos, tunnels or cats. No riggers are permitted in the novice class. All classes require a mimimum of 3 boats according to D 13 rules.

Flyer can be accessed in the following WORD document.

CORRECTION ON THE ROAD NUMBER. THE CORRECT ROAD NUMBER IS 34 AND NOT 32 AS NOTED ON THE RACE FLYER. EXIT 62 IN I-95 IS STILL CORRECT.

Racers outside of District 13 that were planning on going to the Oct race may want to plan on attending this race instead. The lake we were planning on having the Columbus Day Regatta at this year was unable to meet our needs, we do not have access to another lake and at this time that race is cancelled. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

The SC Champs will be a good race and the lake is right off of I95. The lake owner wants us there and is doing what he can to help accomodate us. Like John said, enter early. This race will fill up fast with the good location combined with the success of their GP race in March.

I understand and I know you would come if available. You will be missed. Push to get the others to come if they possibly can.

Reminder, this race in the greater Charleston, SC area, is the next scheduled high points (all nitro and gas classes) race in District 13 and the surrounding geographic area. We have already received a number of entries and commitments. There is a 150 boat limit for the race so do not delay in getting yours in. There is a 6 boat limit per heat so the race should move quickly.

The lake is an excellent shaded facility located at SC exit 62 in I-95 between Walterboro and St George SC. Motels are located at both areas with St George being about $10.00 cheaper but they have very limited restaurants there.

As presently scheduled, this is the only high points race in South Carolina this year. Make your plans accordingly and come join the fun. Entry form is attached to the first posting.

In attendance will be Mitch "mouth of the south" Atwell, Toni "with an "I" Atwell, and there hired gun Mitchell "future youngest US1 champion" Atwell Jr. Of course Team OvalExpress Racing, Myself, Don & Trey Gilbert will be in the house. Kevin Lee of Lee Racing, Possibly Jimmy Eddleman and Team Clorox(where the heck IS Jimmy???), David Ashemore, Lapps crew and the list goes on.....

This aint about who can finish all five rounds.... oh no, this is about duking it out turn after turn, lap after lap, heat after heat to see who the Big Dog really is. Dont wait till Monday to see what happened, get out here and see for yourself. Tunnels Rock!!!!

Scott,

It is a raffle. Tickets are sold and one ticket is pulled. The winner gets 50% of the money collected and the club gets the other 50%, hence a 50/50 raffle.

 

[Scooter12195]

Who of you are coming from out of town and if you are, are you camping or getting a room? If you are getting a room, what motel? If I'm going to have to stay in a motel I'd rather be close to fellow Nitro sniffers.

Thanks,

Scott Norris

[topfuel443]

Allen, dont miss this one, its too close to your house not to come, expected to see you in Savannah, but i guess you had other plans? See ya in a few weeks.

~James

 

[BOBBYH]

James,

Do you guys recommend a hotel or do you know which one the guys that went to the GP race broke in for us?

There should be 4-6 guys from here coming over to either race or watch.

-Bobby

 

[topfuel443]

Bobby, Since we stayed at the pond at the last race, im really not sure who stayed where? Hopefully some of the guys can come on here and recomend a good place, most all of the hotels on the two exits south of there seem comparable.

Well said James, anyone who thinks they're anybody in tunnels come on down to CMB race in South Carolina. Jimmy E. come on out of hiding and slap a winshield on your boat so the driver can see and come racing. Kevin Lee my dad said he'll take it easy on you this time and run my 20 boat in the open class this time so that he can have a little competition. Like James said, for all of you who are going to the Internats, this will be a great time to test and tune and make sure you got your stuff ready. This race will be some of the best tunnel boat racing this year so don't miss out and get your entries in. See ya in Charleston .

I do believe the tunnel boys will be going at it at this race! With this being the halfway point of the Highpoint series things should really start heating up.

With all the 20 tunnel's around and the CMB's good location, maybe a one day 20 tunnel shootout race should be put together??
