Mic And Jeff what a great job you guys did putting this all electric together, I think this maybe a sign of what the future in RC boat racing could look like.

Some very fast boats and truly great bunch of racers.

So thank you I had a great time and look forward to another race,I might even get one of those fast cats,LOL

Results are important and I will do it properly within a day but pictures worth a thousand words. Here is what my trailer  (and car) looked like when I opened them today. I have some unpacking to do then repair some carnage. You can see photo's of the podium were affected, (check your zippers) I need a pic of the P limited mono podium if anyone has or can post.

Later

Thanks to all who put this race together.  I had a good time yesterday.  It was nice to get the vision tunnel back out racing again even with some newly acquired scars.  I look forward to this event again next year

Many thanks to the Brandon Club for hosting this race. Starting on Saturday, Cal Lange was there with the retrieve boat launched, before I arrived at 8am. John Otto, Greg Rowe, Bob Boetger and Gene Mongar all there to set up the site. Sunday early Bill Britton came in to set up and take care of scoring. These guys for the most part don't have FE boats (yet) and contributed so much to make this event a success. Greg Rowe ran the retrieve boat all day on Sunday. Thanks again!!!!!!

  Jeff Maturo did an outstanding job on the microphone and running the heats. He and I are from the Lee County Model Boat Racing Assn. in the FT Myers area. We had input and attendance from the Wave Blasters , Ft Pierce (Ken Haines), West Florida MBC ,Sarasota, and several members of the Castaway MBC from the Villages.

  Racers from all over Florida, the US east coast and even the British Virgin Islands attended and made this a fun day for all. Looking forward to expanding classes and 2 day event next year.
