    Valdosta SAW

    Ok guys, it's back!!!

    The SAW Time Trial in Valdosta Ga, will be held Sept. 9-11-2011.

    Keep in mind the new "Stock and "Super Stock" classes are now in the books and all the records are open. Stock can use any 27 turn 24 degree stock can motor or the 17.5 brushless stock motors and N power parameter(2s). Super Stock can use any 19 turn 24 degree can motor or the 13.5 turn brushless stock motors and N power parameter (2s).
    There is no paralleling allowed in these classes.
    These classes are meant as a replacement for the old
    N-1 and O-1. So break out those old hulls and power them up with he latest Stock motor technology and Li-po and lettem RIP!!!

    Please see the Master Race Schedule page in the latest "Roostertail" at: www.impba.net for more details about the race.

    Hope to see you there,

    Chris

    Important info

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Ok guys,
    Our event is fast approaching so I want make sure there are no surprises for anyone who is coming.

    This is an IMPBA sanctioned event so to participate you will need to be an IMPBA member. The fee after September 1st is $30.00 for the remainder of the year. I will have applications with me so you can sign up there if that is easier. Some have asked about single event coverage. That can be done if you already have a memebership with another Org. i.e. (NAMBA) However,
    under the single event coverage you are not eligable for records so it's just better to pay the extra $20.00.

    I'm trying to negotiate a group rate with the Quality Inn South I will know more next week and I will post the info here.

      Ok, I was able to work out a deal for a special rate at the Quality Inn South
      The rooms will be 49.95 per night available for the nights of Sept.8,9 and 10.
      Their phone # is 229-244-4520 and tell them you are with the "Valdosta Model Boaters" for the boat race. If there is any problem ask for Simon the mgr.

      For those of you who haven't stayed here it is a nice clean place and very close to many retaurants. They also have a continental breakfast.

      See ya there,
      Chris

                              Duh G (Doug), Roughly how many unloaded RPM's does the average SAW boat turn? I have never seen a "how to build" tread on a SAW boat.
