Yes sir that was a 1/4 scale? gas tunnel. That class is new and seems to be taking off pretty well. Those are some COOL sounding boats on he water!
A few more pics....
AMB FE member Paul Rollins got his first win so he got "boaptised" ( a Dist. 13 tradition)
Casey continues to dominate LSH. Paul took 1st place in N-2 Mono, he earned it too, the "Caseman" was packing some :flame42: . P- Mono went to:banana:
The last pic is all the winners FE, nitro and gas.:buttrock:
Thats a kewl tradition..lol. I am activily trying to finance an rtr gas boat. It's not easy puttin that kinda scratch together. I just wana run a big 40+mph boat 30 minutes for 4 buck's.

None.
They are interested in FE, but not interested in running small expensive boats.
We have a couple that are building Vac-U-Pickles to race with us but that's about it.
We did have one racer that had purchased everything he needed to build a hot P-Mono, (about $1300.00 with cells) then sold it to one of our FE members.
This why I don't buy the "nitro and gas guys will be flocking to FE" mentality .
IMO FE growth is going to come from the new guy, not old IC racers, except MAYBE the nitro tunnel racers.
