Are the ticket girls going to Ottawa, this season? I know Luc is a magnet for the ladies

They went right to him last year, I'm keeping an eye on him in the background though!

We now have a full heat in the Novice class , this is really encouraging to see .

These kids are the future of our hobby and I'm proud to say the NLMBC offers free racing at our event for anyone 17 and under , would love to see more clubs offer this.

Looks like a great event shaping up with 6 & 7 boat heats in many classes.

Long range weather's lookin' good too with some much needed cooling off in store.

Trying to get all the entries in before I leave tomorrow morning, so if you're coming please enter now at http://www.rcracinge.../browseraces.pl, send an e-mail to [email protected] or even call.

The Oneida Cup is awarded to the contestant with the highest score with two boats, Pete Forcier won it in 2010, Steve Peterson last year, wonder who's name will be on it this year?

Thanks to All NLMBC Members - what a great race you guys put on - you made it fun for us and made it look effortless. Our highlights - lots of good competitive racing, getting together with old friends and meeting new ones; great raffle prices; the novice racers and how everyone made them feel special; excellent race site, large pond; everyone being cheerful with little or no racing issues/arguments, despite the very HOT and humid weather. We definatley will be back next year and encourage all within reasonable distance to attend also.
