My God son at 12 years old is fast learning his way around the pond. That pic of me with it was getting it ready for him to go a few laps !

Wish you could be here too Gabe!

Later.....Ron

 

[topfuel443]

Hey! Thats even better! Good for you Ron, getting another youngster involved in the Hobby. If I was that kid at his age... You would have been the BEST godfather ever. Im sure you scored major points with the boy...

cool deal man...

Ron I want to enter a Gas rigger that I dont even have yet ! Can I scratch before the entry deadline and get a refund or credit for parts ? Let me know , Thanks Tom .

 

[Bob Finn]

I printed off the entry forms for the race, and was really surprised to see that they don't have individual classes for the G-1 gas boats. It appear they have combined the G-1 and GX-1's in each class. Since G-1 cat and mono would be the largest classes in the race, why would you combine them with the GX-1's? Seems like a major step in the wrong direction to me. I can't imagine a "national" type race that doesn't have G1 class.

 

[RaceCraftBearings]

Tom / Bob contact Brian on these matters he is taking the entries.

Thanks!

Ron

Yeah rubber lips, lurch, and me will be there. Whether their stuff runs or not I don't know. Put it this way, dads in the process of duck taping the nose of his pro glass together :blink: . That's alright, my boats are ready. I haven't touched them since I spanked Don in Sowega. I might as well add you in there too because I still would have had the same results. lol. Is Don gonna make it? If he is he had better get in soon because the classes are getting closed. You probably talk to him more than we do and you're in Germany. We've tried to call but he won't call us back.
