Wave Blasters Race and Test & Tune Schedule?

[Ballpeen]

Does anyone know the Wave Blasters schedule? I'd like to go check them out but would hate to drive over an hour for naught.

[Ken Haines]

Hi Dean,
I just spoke to Jeff Shipley and he and a few others plan to attend the "Test and Tune" this Sunday.
They usually meet from about 8 am to 11am. Keep in mind that we have had a lot of rain this week,
but from what I understand they plan on attending. We may not have a full size rescue boat there,
but they have a model tug set-up for the difficult retrievals.
Hope this helped,
enjoy the pond,
and thanks for the inquiries,
Ken

[Ballpeen]

Sounds great, Ken. I will be there

[R.J.S]

Dean,the Wave Blasters do not have any regularly scheduled organized test and tune days.The best we can offer is open water after racing on race days and after 10am on scale boating days.A recovery boat will not be available on non race days,so bring your fishing pole!

Absolutely the best time to come check us out would be a race day.We race every other Sun at 10 am and our next race will be Jan 19.

Scale model boating has use of the pond until 10am on non race days.

I hope this helps you or anyone else planning to travel to check us out.

So what time tomorrow? 8am or 10am?

[R.J.S]

Tomorrow is scale boating until 10am,no FE boats on the pond until 10am.After 10,probably no one will be here.Like I said,it's best to visit on a race day.Next race...Jan 19,2014.

BTW,what is your interest,Scale Boating or FE?

Just trying to save you from a drive for naught!

[R.J.S]

Sun Jan 19 dawned sunny and bright...and 32 degrees...Lets Race!!! And race we did, with most of the regulars showing up,we ran a complete race program.Too much fun to be legal!

Next Sun is scale model boating 'till 10 am,then open FE water.Nothing scheduled and no rescue boat.

Next race Feb 2.

[Ballpeen]

FE.

Sorry just saw ur post

[rdcracer]

I'd be interested in driving across the state for a race. Can I get on an e-mail list. What classes do you usually run.

[Ballpeen]

RDC,

I Just joined the club this past week and attended my 1st race Sunday as well. From what I recall, they had a stock SV27 class, a modified SV27, a stock Revolt 30, a modified Revolt 30 And some offshore class. Maybe p- limited offshore. May have been others but I don't recall.

[rdcracer]

Thanks for the reply. I need to follow the post and plan a trip over to race.

[R.J.S]

The classes we run are:P-Ltd Mono,P-Ltd Cat(Oval),P-Ltd Offshore(3 min),plus sv27 stock and revolt30 stock.Racing starts@10a.

It's official,the 2014 WB 5th Annual Spring Shootout will be held in Ft Pierce on May31 and June1.Follow the thread under Upcoming Race Events for details.

[ron1950]

I see the rcracing site has the spring shootout listed but doesent let u into regester......

[Ken Haines]

Hey Guys,
Had a small problem with the sign-up site, but thanks
to Fred Siewart it is now all up and running.

So go to:
www.RCRacingEvents.com
and sign up as soon as you can for our annual race.
See the attached Flyer and also the RCRacing events
on Line Race Entry tab for all the details.
Hope to see a good crowd again this year.
Thanks, Ken :bounce:

Here is the actual live link:

I just tried to sign up and the site is not adding up the dollar amount for the number of races I entered correctly. I'll check back later.

[ron1950]

day 2 isn't working at all for me

[Ken Haines]

Made some corrections....
Both days are now working.
Seems as though very slight deviations lock the program up.
We also changed the first boat / registration fee to $5 additional
dollars rather than $10. Having this posted as a 2 separate day event
would cause that charge to be $20 total instead of the $10 as it has been for the past years. So making it $10 per day remedies this problem.
We have posted it as 2 separate 1 day events to keep the heat sheets better for each day. It makes sense if you were there the past couple of years when the 2nd round heat numbers jump all over the place.
Let me know if anyone has any additional problems,
Thanks,
Ken :bounce:

[rdcracer]

Are you guys having the spring race this year? If so when is it so I can schedule off from work to attend. Thanks

[Ken Haines]

Hi Rich,
We would love to have you attend.
We really have not even discussed the schedule yet.
At this point I would say we will discuss the mid April
to late May timeframe. I know we were hoping to
have it a bit earlier than the first weekend of June
like last year. We would love to make a date that did
not exclude anyone so I will try to reach out to some
regulars to make sure the largest amount of racers
will be able to attend without conflicts.
Thanks for the reminder we will start working on a date.
Ken

[rdcracer]

My suggestion and I ran a national event in Tampa for years for RC cars. The best time is when it is still cold up north and those guys are looking for any excuse to get out of the cold and run boats. I am going to try to get over to your side of the state for some other races this year also. I'll try to drag some of the guys from my club with me. See ya soon. Please let me know when you finally set up a date for the race. I work on Sat. and need to give some notice to get off. you can contact me at rdcracer@verizon.net

[ron1950]

Always a great race. Just let us know and hugh and i will be there
