It's my 50th B-day. Can I get a big gift if I show up!

One More Question: LSG Cat or Mono. What Motor is allowed with that?

[Terry Keeley]

P-Limited Sport Hydro's must use sport hydro hulls. P-Limited Hydro can be any hydro hull (rigger, cat, sport hydro) but most of us run riggers. P-Limited Sport Hydros can run in P-Limited Hydro but not vise versa. If you could add a P-Limited Hydro class that would be cool.... or you could just make it P-Limited Rigger since you already have Limited cat, sport hydro and tunnel classes.

Looking forward to coming up. I'm going to try to drag up some other D12 members with me.

Got it, you want a rigger class! P-Limited Hydro has been added!

Tell them all to come, we guarantee a great time, plus it's a nice get away for the whole family!

The big Five-O eh, what better gift to than to come up to a beautiful park in Canada and race toy boats with your best buds?

We don't separate the LSG classes so up to the IMPBA limit of 36cc is OK.

Howard, For the IMPBA, unless posted in the race flyer it should be any gas motor 36cc max and I didn't see anything in the race details so............but you've got to use canister muffles...

(Whoops, Terry is faster on the keyboard).


Thanks for the rigger class TK!

I was teasing about the canister exhaust. Just trying to get an early advantage. Especially since I'm going to be running my D12/13 Spec controllers in the Limited classes.

Speaking of exhaust Terry, was reading the flyer about noise. On gas boats does everyone who run tuned pipes require a muffler? Or are you referring to the nitro boats.

Hey Terry, I'm all signed up. I tried to sign up my son but RC Racing Events wont show him entered for the P-Limited Tunnel class. My guess is the web site won't let you sign up any classes that have parentheses () in them. I believe a dash - is the only symbol you can use in the class list. Ask me how I know. LOL

A few questions. How big is the P-Lim Offshore course? I've never run the FE version and was wondering what kind of run time am I going to need out of my packs.

Also, Do you guys have room for or have you ever run a Open Offshore course?

[photohoward1]

I would bet the course is set for about 4 minutes. M445 and about 8400 will get you there. You can only pull about 80 amps out of those motors for an endurance race.

Thanks Howard.

Ha, there ya go, learn something every day. It doesn't like asterisks either. Should be good to go now.

For the offshore classes we put a buoy wide (100' or so) between buoy 3 and the clock, you go around 1, 2, 3, then out to the offshore buoy, back to the entrance buoy before 4, make a left then back around 4,5, & 6. I know you usually count laps but it's better for the scoring s/w to assign places for each heat. We ran 6 laps in the past but Pags suggested 12 laps would be closer to 4 mins. so 12 laps it is.

Not sure what an Open Offshore course is?

ps: You're gonna have a blast!
