March 23rd, 2014 was the last race of the season for us. What a difference a month makes regarding pond weeds. WW X was perfect, this past Sunday the pond was almost unusable. We had to set up a very short course on the north side of the pond. We had another very sunny day, with temps in the mid 80's by the end of the day. 11 of us showed up.

LSH

A bit thin in the attendance, but it was nice to have Kevin Sweat out with us now and Jim showed him around the course, but neglected to show him where the weed patch was located. His boat got stuck in the first heat. Neither did the CD. Jim's Insane 30 is running solid.

Jim O: 800 pts
Kevin: 300 pts


P-Ltd Cat

Strong attendance! 8 of the 11 racers had cats to race. Gary got himself off to a very good start, winning his first 2 heats. Ray also has a strong running GEICO, and Bruce pulled some good points early on, too.

David N: 1000 pts
Ray P: 969 pts
Gary R: 825 pts


1/10th Scale Vintage

6 boats today and still growing. Gary wins with some consistent finishes.

Gary R: 1000 pts
Ted M: 825 pts
Bruce L: 350 pts


P Mono

Let's here it for Penske! Adrien gets the class win for the day with some nice finishes

Adrien Gambino: 1100 pts
Team Osborne/Presnall doesn't need a left turnfin: 450 pts
Dick R: 300 pts


1/10th Scale Modern

Congratulations to Bruce Lewis for locking down the class win with a very consistent finish record with his Modern.

Bruce Lewis: 925 pts
Ted M: 800 pts
Dick R: 525 pts


That concludes the '13/'14 Scottsdale Model Boaters FE club race season. Stay tuned for the '14/'15 schedule, which should be out early September. Until then, stay frosty.

Sure is!! Funny that you guys don't race in summer cause it's too and we don't race in winter cause our water is solid!!

We have a race next Sunday if you are interested

I set up the '14/'15 race schedule towards the end of August.

Ray does travel quite a bit and has no issue only bringing 1 boat. He was in the Pac NW this weekend to race his new 1/10th Scale Modern, but they DQ'd him because his boat builder put in a bent driveline.

Fire him, I say.

... but they DQ'd him because his boat builder put in a bent driveline.

Uuuggh! Don't even get me started!

I am certain that, if they could get one big enough to hold up, the real Unlimited boats would run a flexcable!
