Results as posted on RR by the event CD Chris Harris. This was a GREAT event, you guys have to make it out one of these days.
Hey guys,
It was a great event! I'm really impressed by everyone's hard work pushing the limits. It was awesome! I would like to give a BIG thanks to Doug, Casey
and John (Rc1 Racing) for their hard work helping make it happen and giving me a chance to run a little myself. I could not have done it with out them. I would also like to thank Don Wollard for providing lunch on Fri. and giving the proceeds to the cause.
I think I saw more guys helping each other at this event more than any Valdosta SAWS I can remember. It was great to see. The records are really getting up there now and it's getting harder to to break them. There was a lot of guys who had really great efforts with passes well over the record but just couldn't get that all important backup pass but their effort was evident.
There were also some very competitive classes. N-2 mono and O-1 Sport Hydro I think were the most. I think there were at least four N-2 monos going for it. In O-1 Sport Hydro Bill Tripp and Bill Oxidean traded the record back and forth. When Bill Tripp left on Sunday he had it up there pretty good but Bill Oxidean who had some the fastest passes of the weekend but the lights kept missing his tee-niny little boat was finally able to put two together and get the record.
IMPBA also got it's second FE 100mph club member, Ken Haines. He and Mike Martin worked really hard on their rigger and after some struggles they have it really going now. Mike ran the boat later in S-Hydro and became a 90 mph club member. Congradulations to you both.
It was also great to meet Eddie Hansen and Jim Williams. Eddie came and ran
one of his 1/8 scales. It was really cool to see that big beautiful boat running.
IMPBA doesn't have a legal 1/8 scale class for electric yet but I thought it was important to mention that Eddie's boat does fit all the rules for IMPBA nitro 1/8's (i.e.) detail and drive placement etc. I posted his speeds below.
Last but not least I would like to welcome Doug Smock to the 80mph mono club! That's a really short list. Incredible!.
So here's the results.
Ken Haines T-Hydro 2.158 secs. 104.263mph Fast Pass 104.944mph
Mike Martin T- Tunnel 2.871 secs. 78.369 mph Fast Pass 79.561mph
