The V-Pads will be ready and maybe Poole will unleash his newest OMC. Short course will be turning and accelerating, could get interesting. Wonder what the boat count per class is so far?107 boats signed up so far looking good. The pod's are coming!!!
WHAT HAPPENED to scale & sport-40 on the race flyer?????????????????????????????????/
Are these 2 classes still being offered,,,,,,,,,,,,, They were on the original flyer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No Scale Class would put me into a not coming mode as I am only racing 20 Tunnel, 20 Mono and Scale right now. The original flyer did not offer 20 Mono so that left me with the Tunnel and Scale but if there is no Scale I wont be coming for one class!
Emails back & forth with Rick Beardon,,,, I guess they don't get on here much to see there was chatter about these 2 classes
We have had these two classes on the flyer since day one of the GP series.
We have had three boats come to our two races probably twice in the last three years.
So when we added the Mod VP and the 45 Outlaw to acommodate the STORM series we decided to drop these two classes that no one was showing interest in.
We always had to run around and try to find a third boat just to make these classes.

That's nice,,,,,
I had probably 8 scales & 5 to 6 sport-40's lined up to attend this event, all except for myself are tunnel, and FE racers, that were willing to make the trip because of the STORM series colabiration put together with the Grand Prix series.
I guess you guys are just a layed back group of model boaters!!!!
Guess I'm more interested in racing.

Rick,
We haven't had any sport 40 or scale boats entered for the last two seasons so we dropped them to pick up the 45 superstock and Mod VP boats for this race.

Ricky;
Don't know if it was intentional, or just an oversight?
But the race flyer now posted on the SOWEGA website no longer have scale or sport-40 listed.
I sure hope it was an oversight.
Please let me know

Well, I guess an apology is in order, Sorry fellas.Guys, dont be so quick to jump on the Sowega group. Having a group of folks 'lined up' on an internet forum, that has obviously not been monitored by the host club, is NOT the same as sending those entries in. Having entries in hand is what determines what classes will be run. This race has been posted for many months. Waiting to see what other scale boats enter is not the way to get the class going. Someone has to start it and be the point-man to build ambition, but above all else, you gotta get the entries in.
Rick, with your over use of punctuation (!!!!!! - ????????????) , and lack of tact in the reply email to Ricky, it comes across as a very negative/derogatory way to 'promote' the class you guys obviously want to get back going in the area. Knowing Ricky and Jim well, I have a hard time believing they would have done that if they had known what was being 'planned' for the scale class. Their contact info has been posted on the flyer from day one.
Can you seriously blame them for dropping the class when on the past couple of years there has been little to zero interest? They had no idea you guys were planning this? The only thing they have to go on is actual entries
December 4-5. Flyer will be posted soon.Is there still a race scheduled for december at the brandon site?
