    Refuse the box exists!

    Mike,

    I understand your confusion after the careful review of my post above. Please do not misconstrue my statements regarding an oval time trials event as anything other than completely positive. What I was trying to communicate is that not only are we putting great efforts into straightline stuff, but also for ovals and hopefully getting heat racing events back up and running. As I recollect, there were several scheduling conflicts which led to the good decision Kentley made not to pursue the oval event this year based on a general consensus from many parties. I have nothing but respect for Kentley and he has gone way out of his way to support this district as well as other districts and members across all of IMPBA.

    I am in contact with both Kentley and Dick. The major focus for the pond is to share the common goal of not just accommodating electrics, but to make it possible for all classes to be run in a respective pond. Unfortunately for all and not a detriment propogated by any party, we have yet to be able to collectively resolve the current pond issue despite great efforts put forth by all parties. We understand we have the full support of the appointed IMPBA members and that as soon as a resolution is imminent, we will be able to move forward quickly. For that, I believe I speak for everyone to say that we are all very grateful!

    The spirit of my post above is to perpatuate the excitement felt at a local level for this upcoming year with the intent to continue to build the club and participation throughout D12 and other respective districts. It's going to be exciting and we're all looking forward to it!

      Glad to hear you all are working together!! The district race you all hold is by far the most well attended of the year. If things go well, allot of people are looking forward to coming down next year!!!

      Any particular day you guys are going to Elizabeth City?? I have all four days off work. If the weather looks okay all for days, I'll come Friday night and spend the weekend. My son wants to come down. If the weekend weather looks crappy, I'll come down Thursday/Friday by myself. A week and a half to go!!!

        Yeah, I've been working on stuff for the majority of the day. I'll be there Thursday until 2-3, Friday all day, not at all on Saturday, all day Sunday. Danny will be there Thursday only.

            Well, it appears that Thursday may be reserved for testing or those brave enough to try in the wind. With any luck, the wind will align with the trees as opposed to blowing down the course. We have an offshore class right? J/K I'm sure that we'll have fun regardless, even if Dick has to send out his electric O/B tunnel into the swells again like a few years ago!

              I'll be there Friday afternoon. Will bring a few boats to play with if it's too windy for anyone to make any record attempts. Saturday and Sunday still looking schweet!!

                Got a call from Dick Loeb today and it looks like no running tomorrow (Thursday) due to the Nor'easter brushing by North Carolina. Winds are forecast for less than 5 knots for Sat/Sun.

                  Mike, Do you know if Wilmer is still planning to come? I can't find his cell number to warn him that the course won't be setup tomorrow.

                      Thanks Kent. Batten down the hatches and be a safe.....again. You getting any snow yet???

                      Ben, I had Bill's # it but can't find it. I pm'ed him last week because Kentley wanted to know if he was still coming. Never got a response. He posted on another thread that he was considering going down to Huntsville this weekend. Huntsville may be more appealing to him because they will be running SAWs and ovals. So if he shows, he shows. He is a patient guy and waited out three days in Pittsburg till he got the water he needed. I think the water is going to be real fast this weekend. Just hoping I can get her done.
