2019 IMPBA FE Nats Atl.Ga. feeler thread

[Doug Smock]

"FEELER THREAD" Just asking if there is any SERIOUS interest in this venue?

Because of site restrictions this would have to be a open water at noon until dusk Friday, two days of hard core, if you're back to back, bring both boats to the pits, when the retrieve boat hits the dock, "You're on the clock" , no waiting for component replacement, Rock and roll, turn your hat around Nationals. Anyone that has raced in Atlanta knows how we roll. (Yes we're reasonable, but you get the point)

I'll discuss the possibility with the District at our annual meeting in Nov. if there is enough (again serious) interest.

If not, we get it, the pace isn't for everyone.

Thanks,

[Ken Haines]

Hey Doug, I thought the Friday restrictions were because of the noise of the IC boats? FE would be a lot quieter..........

Hey Don, No sir. All of our races open water starts at noon for FE. IC after 5. The pond owner wouldn't budge because of the PITA across the pond. Seems they are everywhere these days.��

What Month or date are you thinking of??

Ultimately the Club Presidents would make that decision. Possibly May or June although we wouldn't want to stomp on the Michigan Cup.

Thoughts?

I think it would be great to see this happen. Let me know how I can help!

Ahhh, got it. If this comes to be I will seriously consider it (mid May would be nice), lookin' at doing up a new FE scale over the winter.

Late April I would assume is the Spring Nat's,
Late June would also assume is the Michigan Cup.
Late May would be the holiday weekend that could allow
an extra day, if not possible to allow an extra race day then
at least an extra travel day. Otherwise wondering if
the summer months are out of bounds or would they
be a good option too ?

Racing? Of course I'm interested.

May is the better date. June is the MI, Cup.

Well Doug you can count on MMEU to support the event regardless of the date.

In fact, Tyler and I would be willing to come down early to provide straight up point and shoot labor if that would help. Tom's a horse too but I don't want volunteer his services too. Haha

All that said, don't you guys have crazy hot weather June to September?
