[Ken Haines]

Hello FE Racers,
Announcing the Wave Blasters 4th Annual Spring Shoot-out.
The race will be held May 18th & 19th in Ft. Pierce at our regular
Palm Lake pond site. We just confirmed the dates today so we do
not have all of the details worked out yet,
but here is what we have so far.

We will have our annual club picnic Saturday the 18th from 11:00 to 1:00.
This means all Club Members and Shoot-out participants will have a great
"Free" picnic lunch and meet and greet.
There will be open water from 9:00 till 2:00. Heat racing from 2:00 till 5:00.
Then open water till dusk.
Tentatively here are the
Saturday Classes:
-P-Limited Offshore (4-minute offshore)
-P-Limited Catamaran (4-Minute offshore)
-Crackerbox / Jersey Skiff
-P & Q Hydro
-1/10th Modern Scale

On Sunday we will race from 9:00 till 5:00 with a drivers meeting at 8:30.
Sunday classes:
-N2-Mono
-SV Stock
-LSH (P-Limited Sport Hydro)
-P-Limited Hydro
-OPC (P-Limited Outboard tunnel)
-P-Mono
-1/10th Scale
-SV Modified
-P & Q Offshore (3 minute offshore)
-Open Mono

All classes will be 3 rounds with a minimum of 4 boats per class.
We will announce the where to sign-up next week.
Last year we were suprised to have almost 100 boats.
With any luck we will improve on that amount.
Sponsorship details also to be announced shortly.
Entry fees should be similar to last year.
Basically wanting you guys to mark your calendars, and
have you check this thread later this week for more details.
We look forward to seeing all of our old friends and meeting some new ones too,
Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ron,
Thought you might like them racing in a separate class from the mono's.
I might just get one for that race too.
We hope we get a good turnout for this cat class. Actually Tony Heller
Gave us the idea, which goes along with our club's long term emphasis
on the RTR SV classes that we race.
With any luck this may kick start this class in normal club racing.
As soon as I hear back from Bill Britton I plan to get the sign ups started
on RC Racing events.

Hi Mike, excited to hear you might atttend.
You might have noticed I added "Cat" to the Open Mono Class.
Yep.....we could have quite the race even if you insist on owning lane 1...lol

Here are the "Map Quest" Miles and times to the pond site.
I listed them from near to far:
Palm Beach Intl (pbi) = 62 miles / 1 hour 12 minutes
Melbourne Intl (mlb) = 63 miles / 1 hour 12 minutes
Ft Lauderdale (fll) = 110 miles / 2 hours 0 minutes
Orlando Intl (orl) = 119 miles / 2 hours 0 minutes
Miami Intl (mia) = 125 miles / 2 hours 15 minutes

Hope thiis helps, and might give you some more options,
Ken

Ken,

I sure would like to come, but can't this year. I was just down in Florida last week. My wife and I stayed with my brother and sister-in-law in Sebastian. Maybe next year.

Hi Jay,
It would be great to have you.
Maybe one of these years the timing will be better.
I plan on going to the Michigan race so I assume
we will have a few drinks at the Elks together.
