Happy New Year folks. Here is the IMPBA District 12 Schedule for 2015. We had a great year in 2014 with nice weather (though sometimes windy) at all of our races. We had our first district race at the Old Dominion Model Boat Association's new pond in Smithfield, VA. It's a great pond with all amenities within a mile or two from the site.
We had a district meeting for all the club officers in October and reviewed every combined Nitro/FE and P-Limited class. The end result was that everyone seems to be happy with the current rules and classes so there were virtually no changes. The only class that was changed was we separated the combined Nitro and FE 1/8th scale classes. We also decided to make the Open Cat Class Nitro and FE only. The big gas cats already have a class to run and their size was discouraging the smaller Nitro and FE racers from entering. Also Mike Lewis wants to run a full P Hydro class next year. So if you are getting tired of the P-Limited classes and want to kick up the power a notch, go for it. I had a P-Hydro I ran two years ago and will get it race ready for this season.
