2012 NAMBA FE Nat's sign ups

Nat's link


Reminder: Paid signup deadline is May 19th. Any class with less than 4 paid entries will be cut. We will accept late signups for those classes that "made it" by the May 19th deadline. For more information, please refer to the link.

For those that have signed up, you should have received an email from me with a formal sign up letter. If you have not received it, please let me know.

For those who have not signed up, please do so! Make a post on the above link stating the classes you would like to run. I will then email you the formal sign up letter.

The banquet price is $35 and shirt pricing has been finalized at $20. Please plan on both! You won't be disappointed.

Thanks to Mark Grim, a special 2-Lap event has been added for Sunday, following our event. Plan on staying 1 more day if you want to run. You'll have so much practice running the course for 4 days that you'll be able to run the 2-lap lights with your eyes closed.

Lastly, for anyone that is driving, please let me know if you need power. It will be provided for those who need it, but I need to know who needs it for proper amp distribution. For those flying in, I've already planned for you. I know how difficult it is to fly with a Honda 2000.

Thanks, guys! There has been a ton of work behind the scenes from District 19 members, SoCal FE and Scottsdale Model Boaters and this event organization has been like clock-work. It will be more of the same when the start clock goes to :30. If you have any questions, please let me know.

For those out-of-town racers attending that may have need for lakeside support stuff, contact SoCal FE at [email protected]. We'll do our best with what we have.

Signups are looking fantastic. Check out the 1st 2 posts on the Nat's thread. It's being continually updated with racer entry information.

If you want to attend, just make your intentions known on the thread or PM me. I will then forward you a formal Welcome Letter with detailed race information.

Why don't you stop joking around on the forums and commit to the 2012 National event? What are you, scared?

Dave,wish I could make it. I was not able to get the time off from work.
Oh well.

Did you want a blonde, brunette, or redhead ?

Sean, I was just getting ready to email you! That's too bad...but I understand. We've got a good group attending and you'll be missed.

LOL... Sorry Dude, I already have a smoking hot Red Head! LOL and she is a 'hot mess' My father-in-law keeps telling me they are saving a spot me for me (and him) in heaven!


LOL

Later,

Final class list has been updated. The following classes have been cut:

T Hydro

N-1 Mono

Jersey Skiff

Q Sport

Refunds will be sent to those that have paid for these classes (Garrard, Jordan, Buaas). I'll wait a few days to see if you want to make changes before sending it out.

June 1st is the firm "no refund" cut off date. Final race fees will be tabulated on this date, according to the sign ups on the first 2 posts of this thread. Any drops after this date will not be refunded, with the exception of non-attendance due to an emergency.

Sign ups are still open for those classes that have made it.


Just a few random comments regarding some questions I have fielded the past few weeks (and the post above):

Not sure what brought up the questions about NAMBA #'s on boats...but, yes, boats need to be identified. Don't get hung up on the precise measurement of the numbers.

Legg Lake is a 1/6th mile course and we will be using the full mill. More information will be shared at the Drivers Meeting.

We will be using a computer-aided lap counter that your pitman controls. It is a trigger button that is pushed at the finish of each legal lap. It keeps track of lap and heat times. Remember this: EACH LEGAL LAP. More will be discussed at the Drivers Meeting.

Lunch and drinks will be provided for a nominal fee each race day. Tuesday's Open Water: Racers are on their own. Kim Grim will be doing 2 days worth of her famous race cooking on Thursday and Friday, and Jeff Michaud will be doing something scrumptious on Saturday.

Please email me if you require power, a table, chair, or an EZ UP. I will send out a specific email to those racers signed up about this as well. FYI: The pit area is fully shaded with pine trees and the Drivers Stand is shaded as well. I am working on the assumption that those driving are self-sufficient in this regard, unless they have notified me of their specific needs.

If there are any questions, please let me know! I was at Legg Lake last weekend at a district race and the course and site are in fantastic shape.
