Friends, SpeedWeek 2018 is tentatively scheduled for February 3-12 at the awesome Blue Lake in Valdosta GA. We will be set up for both 1/16 mile SAW and 1/3 mile ovals. Calm water rule will be in effect for the boats that need it. You guys know that I brag pretty heavy on Blue Lake because it is just a beautiful place to go fast with model boats and just hang out and maybe even watch really big bass swimming around in the clear water! It is not as long as the other record trial ponds (it is about 1500'...good for speeds in the 110-115 mph range tops), but the setup we have for ovals is the best! The drivers stand actually hangs out over the water and makes you feel like you are right there on the course with your boat! I only use balloons for bouys so you never have to worry about hitting one and hurting your boat...it makes driving a reall tight course much more comfortable!
I need to ask for some help...each year I end up losing several hundred dollars on the cost of hosting it and I'm not sure how much longer I can afford that. If some of you guys would like to help sponsor the event I will be happy to mention your name, hang banners, etc!!
Entry fee this year is going to have to be $60 for the entire 9 day event. If I get some goowd sponsorship then I may be able to reduce the entry fees.
2018 IMPBA membership cards will be required and checked.
I will occasionally post pics and videos of past events just to get you guys jazzed up!!
Thanks guys!!
