    2014 NAMBA SAW event at Legg Lake, Ca. (Aug 22, 23 & 24)

    It’s time for the next NAMBA Straight Line event at Legg Lake California. Only one week away on August 22, 23 & 24.

    If you know or think you can make it, please send Mark Grim an email or phone call so we can get a headcount. NAMBA cards will be checked at the event so please make sure you bring your current membership card, or you can renew your membership on site at the event.

    Contact: Mark Grim
    7372 Natal Drive, Westminster, CA 92683
    714-615-9974
    [email protected]

    If you have any general questions about rules, running or equipment post here or send a PM. We encourage all to come out and run or just watch and bench race. The Amigos and SoCal FE try to support any racer who travels to the event and needs some assistance.

    The weather looks favorable for the event, but be sure to bring your sun block and shorts as the temps will be in the 90’s all weekend.

    We’ll post results on this thread as the weekend progresses, so stay tuned for the latest breaking news.

    Thanks much,

    Boyd Marshall

        Tim,

        That would work. If you're too busy getting ready I can understand so TCB. If you do come, use the Durfee entrance.

                      The August event has the longest daylight hours, but it also has the roughest water of the year in the middle of the day due to the wind. We typically have several good hours in the morning and wait till the afternoon winds to calm down and usually get another hour or more in the evening. Plenty of time in between to run boats that need rougher water.

                      If you plan on attending please remember to bring your approved fire extinguisher and a shelter is highly advised. Please also bring a lunch or be prepared to run out and gran something as Kim will not be cooking at this event.

                      Any questions? Post here or send us a PM.
