    2011 FE Nationals Announcement

    "2011 NAMBA FE Nationals" Hosted by: The Wave Blasters of Florida
    Sonsored by: Offshore Electrics & Rum Runner Racing / Hobbies


    Hey Everyone,
    Finally after all the meetings, forum replies, and dozens of phone calls,
    we "The Wave Blasters of Florida" are now ready to officially announce the dates for the 2011 FE Nationals.
    The Race will be held;
    June 1st - 5th , Wednesday thru Sunday with Wednesday being the practice day.

    Please do not beat us up about the dates as this was difficult enough trying to canvas the country to find the best
    possible dates taking all suggestions and criticisms into consideration.
    We have gotten these dates approved by the NAMBA board who checked additionally with all the District directors
    and there were no objections.

    Obviously there are dozens of issues that our club will deciding on in the weeks to follow. Be patient with your
    questions, as we do expect there will be many. We will try to answer all of them in time.

    Preliminarily we have discussed the classes and we plan to run everything requested as long as we get enough
    boats to make it a class. That number still to be determined, but will most likely be either a 3 or 4 boat minimum.

    We have contacted ME Time RC and hopefully we will have this event either live on the internet or at least filmed
    and available on DVD.

    As mentioned there are many details yet to be decided on ie; entry fees, sponsorships, race schedules, etc. we
    will announce them as these details are decided on. We are all pretty excited about hosting our first Nationals,
    hopefully we will have a record attendance too. By making this announcement our hope is that you can start
    making your travel plans.

    The following is a list of our board of directors, they are all good people and along with plenty of outside help we
    all intend to make this a great and really special event.
    Bill Plevik, Terry Cowger, Bud Johansen, Rick Workman, Mackey Rogers, & Ken Haines

    From all of the Wave Blasters members,
    we hope to see all of you in Ft Pierce, Florida at the event.
    More details to follow !!
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Registration Now Open - 2011 FE Nationals

    "2011 NAMBA FE Nationals" Hosted by: The Wave Blasters of Florida
    Sonsored by: Offshore Electrics & Rum Runner Racing / Hobbies


    Hello FE Racers,
    The 2011 NMBA FE Nationals registration is now open !
    The link is;

    Online Event Registration Service For The R/C Boat Racing Community


    You will find it easy to sign up, just click on the "On-Line Race Entry" tab.
    Then click on the "2011 NAMBA FE Nationals" sign up.

    You can make your payment immediately via pay-pal thru this site,
    or mail in your payment after you have completed the on-line entry information requested.

    The early registration fee is $11 and $9 per class until March 15th.
    After March 15th it will go to the normal registration fee of $15 and $10 per class.
    Our thinking is to encourage as many early sign-ups as possible to start the snowball effect. We do realize plans can change, so to relieve any reservations about committing early, we will make refunds on all cancellations received prior to May 25th.

    If there are any classes that you do not see listed that you believe there would be enough to make a class please contact us as we are open to all class ideas.

    Contact myself or Terry Cowger Sr. for more info.

      Hotel Information

      Hey Racers,
      We did secure a very good rate on the nearby Best Western !
      It will be $59.00 per night.
      You should mention the "FE Nationals Hosted by the Wave Blasters"
      to get this rate.
      Their phone number is 772-878-7600

      They are located at:
      7900 S US Highway 1 · Port Saint Lucie, Florida

      This hotel is about 5 minutes drive from the pond site.
      It is a very nice hotel, all small suites, with a nice pool area.
      Not the Ritz-Carlton but very nice.
      Hope this helps,
      Ken

                That is fantastic, Ken! Nice work organizing this event. You're going to give Michigan a run for their money with regards to the biggest FE Nat's ever.

                    Hey Dave Newland,
                    Not sure, but I wondered if you knew the past Nat's attendance numbers.
                    I do not know how many years you would have records for, but that would be interesting information.
                    We are having a very good early start to this 2011 FE Nat's, how that will
                    all add up is just speculation at this point. As we all know until racers are
                    actually signed up and paid for you can only hope that they do.
                    We do have our collective fingers crossed, time will tell !
                    Thanks, Ken

                          Ken-I'll let Davis give the exact figures regarding the Michigan Nat's that had the highest turnout too date. Nothing compares to it at this point in time.

                          I believe the 2nd largest was Colorado last year at 34 per my sheet. Most others were in the mid 20's in attendance. Not sure on boat count.

                          You've got a tiger by the tail.

                          Put me down for an XL shirt and I'll have Dick pick it up for me at the race.
