    What's your New Year's FE Resolution ?

    OK, Make 'em & Don't Break 'Em

    Here's Mine :

    1:] Get the SoCal Fast Electric guys into scheduled D19 racing.

    2:] Set new SAW record in P-OPC

    3:] Clean out my *#@ toolbox

    4:] ( OK, this is controversial ) Convince FE's that your boat ain't done until it can do six laps on the 1/6 mile course

    What's yours ??

      1. stop hitting bouys.
      2. keep running my boat when called "dead boat" for a spin out that a gas/nitro can keep going
      3. learn to drive a tunnel hull
      4. Finish my current boats before getting new ones (except my ML295, I already have parts to finish her)

          1. Have fun at district races and run no more than 3 boats per day.
          2. Have all my boats prepared and tested before the nationals start at Legg Lake hopefully with some FE boats thrown in there.
          3. Finish two SAW FE projects and hit 120 mph in my X hydro
          4. Attend two SAW events outside my district
          5. Minimize the amount of blown esc's to single digits!

          Note: lines 3 and 5 may contradict eachother, but one can hope..........

                  Make the races even though it's to hot for human activity.

                          To stop building race boats, I have boats for 5 classes ready to race, a 6th class boat off the board just waiting on a warm day for paint, and a 7th half finished on the building board, pretty silly as its too stressful running more than 3 classes per race and doing duties, if this winters builds work well I want to try not to build any more race boats for the next couple of years.
                          Not that it will slow me down much as I have plans for 2 new SAWs boats and a drag boat and I already want to make new sponsons for 2 of my race boats.

                          I also want to learn how to weld aluminium.

                          Oh and hitting less buoys would be good too.

                            Get more FE's to race in D12.

                            Get my Woodstuff tunnel handling like it should.

                            Be more aggresive at race starts instead of hanging back.

                            Increase Doug Smocks work load as IMPBA records director.

                            Bust chops untill we get a few FE classes in all our IMPBA Nationals that run both Nitro and Gas.
