The Charleston Model Boaters (CMB), Charleston, SC, had a club meeting today and voted to host next year's tunnel race at our lake near Walterboro, SC. This race will be held on March 24th and 25th, 2007 and will be called by a new name:
The NATIONAL OB TUNNEL CHAMPIONSHIPS
We will have our traditional classes of:
Sport B Tunnel
B Tunnel
Sport D Tunnel
D Tunnel
E/F Tunnel
Open Tunnel
Offshore
Mod-VP
In addition, we expect to be adding the following classes depending upon sufficient entries:
GAS OB class
Fast Electric (FE)
1/4 Scale
Will also continue our tradition of the fastest lap competition for B and D tunnels.
The CMB club has held the ONLY all tunnel championships in North America the past 2 years. We are now going to open it up to all types tunnels regardless of their power plant and truly turn the race into a NATIONAL OB TUNNEL CHAMPIONSHIPS.
We are releasing the race information early to allow for the necessary planning for those that want to come, particularily those coming a long distance. James (Gabe) Clegg from Germany and Ronald van Essen, aka MORON, are planning to attend next year's race and already have their leave scheduled. We also have a Aussie racer from down under that has been in contact with me for several weeks who has indicated he wants to come as well. The race will have an international flavor as well. Plan ahead as you tunnel heads do not want to miss it, the only NATIONAL OB TUNNEL CHAMPIONSHIPS being held.
