It's not called the Geraghty Challenge, it's known as "Size Matters" as it's sponsored by others including Zippkits.
Bascially it's the high pooints combined between 2 different 'rigger classes, one must be the "A" (.12) class and you choice of any other. You can compete in both classes or team up with one another. You can enter online but I believe that you notify them at the event that you're competing for the trophy.

Oh boy just when I thought I could winHmmmm, might have to give this serious consideration.
. Kently I got a better idea jump in Dons truck and come and play with us Don,
You should take Kentley up on his offer and bring
the best boat that you can to "The Geraghty Challenge".
It should be a great learning experience for us all to
see the new technolgy in a G-3.
This Will Be A Great Race,

Actually "Judge Judy" is the name Preston Hall gave the Stalker Pro radar gun.

Jeff,
I think your propeller is possibly too big (diameter)
And it may have too much cup in it. (2.90" to 3.33")
36 to 37 mm in diameter and 2.90" to 3.33" of cup are
very fast numbers with the right pipe at the correct
length.
I heard the boat would not come up on pipe today?
What pipe are you trying to run? How long?

I tested 12 different propellers today and found out
some very interesting numbers that work very well on
my set up. Had my Stalker Pro feeding me some good
numbers Don.
Good Luck Testing Tomorrow,
Mark Sholund

Thanks Mark! Yes the prop in the video has too much cup. I am going to try to get the pipe
Shorter, but its an outboard J pipe, so ill have to hack it upland put a header on it.
Huh?
Jeff,
I must of got some wrong information. Did the motor pipe up easy?
The right pipe and the correct length is a lot of the tuning on a
12 and 21 motor. I must have over 50 pipes just for my 21's, and I
have a nice collection of 12 pipes already(about ten of them). The
right back pressure and volume sure makes a difference on these little
motors.
Have Fun Testing,
Mark Sholund
