          I saw that too, very wheelchair friendly. If the GF is up for it we can do it but, we won't know until late feb.

          I wonder if Larry Jaques might plan for this? aka Truckpull...

            Tell Lamar we appreciate him offering the FE Classes..... and I'm sure you also had a little something to do with it. You already know I can't make it due to family obligations. Hope you have a great turn out!!

              It would be great if you and Larry could make it. Ray R. is going to check with the West Florida Model Boat Club and see if there is any interest.

              We're going to miss you and John, Chilli.

                          Offshore might make the fuel guys heads explode.

                          4 FE classes plus some scales would make it more inviting.

                              Hey fellas,

                              The Atlanta Model Boaters President and District 13 FE Director have agreed to lift the Limited class ESC restrictions for this race.

                              Note: P Limited O/B Tunnel has been removed and P Limited Sport Hydro has been added.

                              P Limited O/B Tunnels or any legal IMPBA O/B Tunnel can run in the Open Tunnel class.

                              Any legal IMPBA Mono or Catamaran can run in Open Offshore. ( This is not a timed event. This is milling on the oval course and 6 laps on the offshore course.)
                              1655736_671533752904145_150620165_o.jpg
                              I have no idea how long it takes to complete this offshore course as I never run it other than messing around with my gas boats. I'll be happy to gather that info if needed.
                              It may be important to note that the IMPBA doesn't have capacity limits. Meet the IMPBA FE class requirements for length and max weight of 25#s RTR.

                              There are typically Nitro and or Gas classes that don't make the five boat minimum. If that is the case this year I will poll those already entered near the deadline for entry (April 5th) and see what class(s) you are interested in running, and we can fill.

                              Thanks for the interest!

                              Doug & the AMB
