Sunday, October 19th

Warm day, and our best turn out yet! We had 13 racers in attendance, on a day that hit 94 degrees. Unfortunately, the water condition kept us on the "shorter" north side of the pond, but we managed well. Except for the decision to run a 6 lap offshore P-Ltd Cat class. Who came up with that idea? The offshore pin got decapitated multiple times. Twice by me...and it was my idea.

P-Ltd Mono

6 boats entered. Ted's bowling date made him miss the 3rd round, but he still podium'd. Dang it. That's no way to award a guy that just wants to run 2 rounds.

David N: 1100 pts
Ray P: 769 Pts
Ted M: 625 Pts


P Mono

6 boats also entered. Boats seemed really fast on a short course!

David N: 825 pts
Jim O: 725 pts
Pete W: 625 pts


LSH

5 boats entered.

David N: 1200 pts
Alan G: 625 pts
Jim O: 300 pts


P-Ltd Cat on a 6 lap offshore course. 11 boats entered. It's not every race where we need to have 2 heats for each round!

Pete W: 925 pts
Ray P: 825 pts
Bruce L: 700 pts


1/10th Scale Vintage had 4 boats running today. Chuck has a very impressive Vintage. Smooth as silk and fast, too.

Chuck M: 825 pts
Gary R: 650 pts
Kevin S: 300 pts


1/10th Scale Modern had 4 boats running today as well. Gary had another reminder to never take his eyes off of his boat. He had this class wrapped up, but glanced ahead at a dead boat, then looked back in time for his boat to spear the exit buoy of turn 1. Congratulations to Alan! He has a very consistent running boat.

Alan G: 1000 pts
Gary R: 825 pts
Chuck M: 275 pts

Next race is Sunday, November 16th! Thank you all for attending yesterday. It was great to see the such a great turnout, and we were even down Dick and Pat, too. Also, we had some new blood show up that will have boats to drop in next time!

[rayzerdesigns]

[rayzerdesigns]

November 16, 2014

Well, the Polar Vortex came close to Phoenix, but really only kicked up some wind. Kept our high to about 73 degrees, too. Burrrr. Sorry about the rest of you.

16 entrants today, with special Ca guests Leonard Feeback and Dave/Peyton Hilton. This was the biggest club race we've ever had! Dang near the size of many of our WW races, too. P-Ltd Mono, LSH, P-Ltd Cat and 1/10th Vintage actually had to go to 2 rounds/heat today.

P-Ltd Mono

10 entrants today. We actually had some good/fast racing even with the wind.

David N. 1100 pts
Jim/Ted/Pete 725 pts I don't care who got 2nd as I got 1st.


P Mono

Just 4 boats out today, and congratulations to Adrien "Penske" for picking up a win! Peyton Hilton had a nice running Seaducer, which we don't see much in FE. He pulled a 2nd place, with even pulling out of the 3rd round.

1) Adrien Gambino 1100 pts
2) Peyton Hilton 700 pts
3) Kerry Winkle 525 pts


LSH

9 entrants today. Good racing, and we really only had to check up on the left turn due to the wind. Congratulations to Pete for sweeping the class w/his Phil Thomas (sans windshield and NAMBA #s). Jim DQ'd himself after a mishap with me, but I think he was a little hard on himself. I forced a bad position! Ripped my Whip transom out, but I powered it to shore with minimal water intrusion.

1) Pete W. 1200 pts
2) Kerry Winkle 825 pts
3) Jim O 800 pts


P-Ltd Cat

9 entrants today. Just some good 'ol racing in this class. The wind made it a bit chippy, but only on a few occasions. Peyton took it w/a Motley Crew.

1) Peyton Hilton 825 pts
2) Jim O 825 pts
3) Ray Presnall 625 pts


1/10th Scale Vintage

Great running boats today. Not a bad one in the bunch! Good, clean racing, too. Congratulations to Dave Hilton on the sweep!

1) Dave Hilton 1200 pts
2) Ted McKay 725 pts
3) Chuck Murray 450 pts


OPC

Just 2 boats out today, and just as well as the wind DID have an effect on these boats. But, Osborne persevered with a ML300!.

1) Jim O 825 pts
2) Robert Prievo 450 pts


1/10th Scale Modern

Again, a national-caliber group of racers and boats running in this class. Good stuff!

1) Ray Presnall 825 pts
2) Gary Rose 825 pts (finished all 3 heats!!)
3) Dave Hilton 550 pts


That's it! I'll say that the turnout was spectacular. It was great to see. I rely solely on pen-paper to handle sign ups and heat sheets and we had so many guys and boats that my antiquated method almost proved difficult. And, no less than 4 local members weren't even racing. Actually 5.

Next race is Sunday, December 21st. Also, RCRACINGEVENTS has been activated for our WW XI signups. Please sign up! It will be here before you know it.
