Paul,Hi Guys,
Being a FE racer I really wanted to advance electric powered boats to the Internats level. In 06 I lobbied to have FE allowed to run in the open classes. I was rewarded by Bill and all involved when it was approved and I was the first guy ever to toss a FE boat in and race against my nitro and gas brothers. This one heat (although my boat sucked) was the biggest moment in my boating history.
Since that time my boats have got a bit faster and I've gained much respect for all of you who have invited me and made me feel welcomed at your events. In my book there is nothing better than all of us playing together on the same water at the same time.
That being said I thank the host club for continuing to offer Open classes at the Internats, what ever they may be. Sure, I'd love to see open cat on the schedule but it's not and that doesn't mean I wont have a killer time next year racing open mono and open sport hydro.
Now, if I could only convince someone to make the open classes US1......
Paul.
I have always enjoyed watching you run your boats with the others classes. And yes the open classes allow the differant classes to run together. But there is one thing that I have always believed and that is there no such thing as a nitro boater or a gas boater or even a FE boater we are all just model boaters.
