WWW doesn't have it's own water yet so this race is at the Badger Pond in Kenosha, WI.

There will be two more races at this location on July 11th and the District 4 Championship Race on Sept. 4-5th... Both of those races are hosted by the Badgers..

Yes.. Definitely running my 20 hydro...

Come on out!!

Charley

Hey Mark.

We run about an hour north of Lake Ida (.21 shootout pond) in Kenosha, WI, well, at least this year. Our home course for WWW was taken over by the DNR last year so we had to scramble to find a place in '04. The Badgers came through for us in a big way, volunteering their pond and equipment. It's a stretched 1/4 mile course that is 2/3 surrounded by cat tails (no walls anywhere). The Badgers have been at this site for close to 25 years now.

If you'd like to 'mapquest' our site, take I-94 to Kenosha and exit 339 (Highway E) is the place. About 1/10 mile off the Interstate on the East side.

Garrett

p.s. thanks for the props. Will be trying the 440's after May 8th...

Hello Racers.

The D4 opener is finally here. It APPEARS at this time that there will be some open water on Friday afternoon. We will be setting up that day, so if we are in the water, naturally the course is closed. We will set up as quickly as we can to give the drivers as much time as we can. This is not a common practice at Badger pond, but the Badgers really are being super with their equipment, time, and location. Be sure to thank them when you see them at the race.

If you have any questions, either email Charley or me

Quick race recap.. form the Grim

First and foremost is the WWW club.. Fantastic job on the race gang. First class.

Our group traveled there on Friday and the weather was nasty. Cold wind was coming of the big lake and we had rain late in the day.. None of the member of out club placed a boat in the water. We did however meet up with some fellow racers and go out for steaks, brewskis and burgers before heading for bed.

We got up for the race and again the weather was threatening. The skies were ugly but the wind was calm. It looked like rain in the morning but as we got the day started the weather began to lift and racing we went.

First heats went good and the weather just keep getting better and better.. good right? Yea but we were chasing needles all day. You would lean the boat for the next heat only to have the boat go fat as the sun came out.

I can not remember the official count but its was in the 80+ boats registered and I think 19 were 21 tunnels.. There was even a good show of 40 (D) hydro.

Here are a few winners. I cant remember the rest.. im sure the WWW will give us a full list.

Larry Gemmp (Leecraft XTR21/K+BSS) took top honors after Mickey Tracy (HTB290/Nova) misjudged a corner in the runoff for first. Third place was ?… shoot I can remember..

Ron Zaker Jr (Ninja/Nova) spanked the others for first with Patrick Steel (Ninja/Nova) 2nd. By bud Big Bryon (Ninja/Nova) came in 3rd. It was a NINJA 123 sweep.

To sum up the race in one word..

Fantastic..

Congratulations to the WWW on a first rate event.

Thanks Again BigBryon

RESULTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry it took so long)

First off, HUGE thank you to the Badger Model Boat Club. They provided us a site, equipment, and helped with set up and tear down. They did a great job.

My WWW members need to be thanked as well. We are a small bunch, but nobody would have ever known. I kept hearing comments like, seamless, and no glitches, and good pace...

We didnt have many tough calls to make, and thats a credit to the driving, not bad for the first one of the year in our area.

We had 86 boats...FANTASTIC...we got in three rounds of racing, a raffle, trophies and a pizza party and got the guys out at a decent time (I think). Mother Nature needs to be mentioned too, as she must be a R/C boat racing fan. We were supposed to have terrible weather and storms, and it turned out to be an absolute great weather day.

Anyway, what you've all been waiting for since October when we started this **** thread...THE RESULTS...sorry I dont have all the hull/engine combos. If you know of one, email me and I'll fill it in)
