IMPBA District 12 Race #5 - Centreville, Virginia August 26th-28th 2011.

[Chilli]

The Capitol RC Model Boat Club will be hosting District 12 race #5 in less than four weeks in our club pond in Northern Virginia. We had a nice turn our for our race in June and hope to have an even bigger crowd for the last district race of the season.

As always, we're happy to have racers from outside the district join us. That goes for our NAMBA brothers also. Accomodations are plentyfull in the area. We have camp sites and camping cabins in nearby Bull Run park, budget hotels a few mintes from the site and upscale (yet very reasonably priced) hotels 10 minutes away.

We'll be cranking up the barbecue for lunch on Saturday, grilling dogs and burger.

We thank the Old Dominion Club and Don for the opportunity to host this race. As always, we'll do our best to put on a great show.

We have had tremendous growth in FE participation this year in D12 with a half dozen new racers taking the plunge. I would love to end the season with our best turn out ever. I'm expecting two first time FE racers and I hoping we can get at least 10 racers running FE classes.

Lets start getting those entries in to Carl. If anyone has any question, feel free to post them here.

I know I will be running open FE mono, but not sure of the other classes I want to run yet.

Got to make up my mind here soon.

[HOTWATER]

Cool! The Loeb's and the Ron Shaw crew stayed there last time....I thought the hotel was decent.

Carl...you got a P-Spec tunnel built up?

[moonlighter112]

I wish someone would post DIST # 12 points totals this sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carlcisneros]

you have to ask Don about that Dick.

Yeah it is sort of a P spec

1900KV out runner on 4S power, UL1 esc.
VERY Cheap in price. LOL

It isn't going to be a fast boat anyways, just a fun boat.

[moonlighter112]

No one should have to ask about points its been 4 months and nothing, no other type of racing do you have to beg for POINTS to be posted, this is the Dist #12 POINTS race not just club races.Maybe it should be called Dist#12 fun runs Ican stay home and do that!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope your Tunnel runs well. Dick

It's my old Woodstuff. It was either give it to Carl or use if for firewood. I drove Johns VS1 for the first time last weekend. What a joy to drive compared to the WS!!! Makes me want to get another tunnel for myself.

[carlcisneros]
