Another Racing season is about to get underway, so figured it was time to start up the 2016 FE racing season thread.

We will be at the pond this weekend to set up the course and generally get ready. We aim to be there around 11am, please no fast running while the John boat is out on the water.

Can't wait to see everyone and their winter projects in full swing.

We successfully put out the markers for this years course, and did some testing, tuning, and some show boating last weekend. It was great to see people and some of their new toys. There were new Proboat Verocity's, Zelos, Promarine Skaters and MTR, and more....

This Sunday is the first of the Admirals Fast Electric Summer series race events. Hope everyone can join us for some good racing action. If the weather does take a turn for the worst, keep an eye on the facebook page where we will try to give notice if an event does get postponed.

Please don't forget to help out by doing the following -
1 Registering nice and early when you get there
2 Being ready for your particular event when called
3 Helping as spotter/pit man
4 Extra judge's eyes
5 Reporting your race position to the score keeper to track your points throughout the season.

As always, looking forward to a great day of RC boating action.

A few Videos from the season opener, it was a really good day, a few opening teething issues, but in general everyone did great. It was encouraging to see so many people in novice.

Some video from the weekends fun in the cold windy sun. It was a real battle to stay on the water never mind race or even go that fast.

trigger Did you get your boat back? How did you do it? Also, when are you going to post the points standings?

Yes my Delta force came back from the murky depths, however I can take no credit, Dave, Mike, Parker and Kerry gave it their all, spending a couple of nights dredging and low and behold, it came back to the surface. Of course electronics fried.....but I'm not complaining at all, I was over joyed to get it and be running, although, still fighting the heat issues.

As for the scores, yes they were supposed to be on webpage but we made aware they were not or old, so we had a snaffu, the latest scores will go on once I get the file to Scott and he uploads them, I'd guess in about a week.

These results should be posted soon on the Admirals web page. Don't forget the "lowest score removed" won't take effect until the end of the season, everyone's lowest score will be removed to allow everyone to miss a meet/race and still have a fighting chance at winning.

Sunday we had another running of the FE summer series, and boy was the weather :flame42:. I was certainly feeling drained by the end of the day and was feeling flustered at times too.

Here are a few highlights of the day before the storm hit and we had to pack up and retreat for the day.

Today marked the last race of the season in the Admirals Summer series. Weather was not kind, the wind was brutal and made the usual fast action a battle just to remain right side up. Club attendance was again light, however we had 3 new guys, Jim, Josh and James that turned up, hopefully they will return for the full season of racing next year.

We are going to be holding the annual polar bear cup and I think the P limited (gold aquacraft cans or 36mm dia x 56mm length motor 2040kv max) Fast-50 next month. This event will take place at the traditional Shadeland pond. At this point I think most are in agreement that unless we can move sides of the Pyramids pond (where the parking lot is) that it is simply too much for most to lug equipment.

Video's are a bit lack luster due to conditions, large rolling waves, lots of wind noise and lots of up turned boats. Hopefully next time we can make up for it.

Look out for the official results that will be post in the few days.

Congratulations to the winners!

Time to get to work over the winter months repairing, tweaking, tuning doing all that :spy: stuff. We have a great crowd, looking forward to the spring already and the 2017 FE summer series.
