1/8 Scale racing venues

[T.S.Davis]

Just noticed. References the NAMBA roster. Weird.

[Todd Fleury]

Yep, They use the NAMBA MHR for their record

[Todd Fleury]

One is nitro, so guess I need to enter more races

[Doby]

I still think 6S and open motors would be viable...

Is running 1/8th scale (FE) a dying breed, am about to finish mine up in the next couple of weeks but want to race it next year. I live out here in Las Vegas but figure I'll have to travel to arizona or california to compete. They race gassers out here at sunset park so that's out. I don't have a problem with traveling to race but after reading some threads, doesn't seem like there's but a few people who show up to races with FE's. Any info would be greatly appreciated as I'd like to run a full season next year.

There were 4 entries in FE 1/8th Scale at the 2017 NAMBA Nats in Las Vegas. By comparison, there were 5 entries in Gas Scale, and only 4 in Nitro 1/8th Scale.

Coming soon U-31 Miller High Life

I'm building another 8th scale almost halfway done w/construction. I need to get a build thread going! Debut scheduled for Mi Cup so count me in!

We need to get word out if they need to be IMPBA registered!!!!!!!!!!

[Todd Fleury]

Ken,
Reach out to Terry. I sent him the registration form for 1/8 scale in our district.

[T.S.Davis]

Yeah, it's the wrong form though according to Joe. Haven't seen the new one yet. I'll probably just make the form myself so we can use it in the future. Get it to Joe after. It ain't rocket science.

It's an IMPBA national event. They must be registered. There's no "if". They also must have one of the motors from the list. Also not negotiable.

Ken makes 4 for the Cup. 2 more to go.

Anybody heard from Baffer? His scale is stupid fast too.
Didn't see Smock on there yet either. Hope he can make it.
Missing Snaer too. Just texted him. He's running. Just hasn't registered yet. That boat is so pretty.

Should make the bubble.

[Todd Fleury]

I will change it. Going to use last years form and change it to 2018.

[T.S.Davis]

Cool beans Todd. Already forwarded it to the guys I knew were looking for it.

[Todd Fleury]

Sent my 3 forms

[rayzerdesigns]

Leonard in la at Legg Lake has a scale club.. not sure how many they get.. I’m actually building one but prob won’t race it until nats in Dallas if I go..

[Doby]

What exactly is the point of the registration?

[worthing3104]

Been talking to Leonard, they have I think 3 fulltime racers with a 4th here and there, I'll be going to the club's 1st race on March 24th I believe at Legg Lake

What exactly is the point of the registration?

Nobody knows. I think once upon a time the idea was to keep from having multiple copies of the same boat in the same district. Some think its to ensure that the boats are truly scale. However, the national chair nor the district chair inspects the boat in person. You just send the form and a pic of the real boat so it can't be that.

I do know this. If you want to piss off the fuel scale guys......just suggest the registration serves no purpose.
