To IMPBA Racers,
Due to what has happened this year, we as members of the IMPBA, stand a chance of the biggest race of the year not happening. This e-mail is not to talk about the past but to look at the future. After hearing of the cancellation, I pulled my membership together, talked with our lake owner, and the bottom line is Performance Model Boat Club, in Seville, Ohio will host the 2009 IMPBA Regatta, if you the members want to race. Most of you know our site setup from the 2007 Regatta, and If we work hard over the next four weeks, I feel we can pull it off. The only question being will you come. Like most racers, I’ve have taken off work for the original dates, so changing the date even though would be easier on our membership, will not work.
What I’m asking from each of you is will you come and what classes are you going to run. What special classes you would be interested in for Friday and Saturday, and to contact your friends and fellow club members and pass on the word. E-Mail me your entries to [email protected] as soon as possible, then download the entry form and mail your entry fee, and together we will pull this off. But Please, Please don’t send something in if you’re not coming. Time will be the biggest challenge and I need the most accurate counts to order trophies, banquet arrangements, t-shirts and the list goes on..
Our Site: Location is on a full hookup to primitive campground (camping available reasonable rates) Park Passes at a discounted rate for this event. (not needed if camping)
Five plus acre lake.
Pit next to the lake, park close to pit, short walk from your campsite if camping.
IMPBA surveyed race course (records can be set).
Solid wood plaques will be awarded along with the US-1 awards.
Many Hotels within a short driving distance.
Host Hotel: Comfort Inn Seville, Ohio. Six minutes from the lake. Completely remodeled. Tell them your reserving for the International Regatta: Special Price 64.99 double room. 330-769-5025
