2015 Michigan Cup June 26,27,28

Isn't it a "one time event fee"....just pay the 15 bucks for each "event" you attend...?

Might be wrong.....

No, according to the NAMBA site I have to join since I attended the NAMBA Nitro Championship race in Brandon Fla. No biggie. Already registered online.

yes you can only do 1 provisional entry and then you have to join, it's only $45 for the year. I'm getting very excited for this race!!!!

[T.S.Davis]

NAMBA membership is 50 now. They haven't raised it in eons.

I haven't figured out what I can run for the Cup yet. Ty wants to do a cup team with me this year. That puts a kink in my think'n too.

Still haven't heard a lick from any of the the west coast guys. There once was interest in a return trip by some of them. Ray is coming but I was hoping we could get those guys to come defend their possession of our Cup.

OH! I'm also working on a special guest CD for this race. Not sure we can work it out. An eeelectrics guy. Someone very fast and well respected. Fingers crossed.

[madmikepags]

If Nayman is CD'ing I'm OUT!!!!!!!! LOL I have a stacked team for the CUP!!!! just hope I remember to RUN in the classes I entered for team pts.

Terry,
Don Huff is going to make the trip with me. We will be hard pressed to get there in time for any open water on Thurs. If that is the case is there any chance we can get in the pond prior to the drivers meeting @ 8:45 on Fri.?

Tks.

[T.S.Davis]

Yep. I'll get you on the water. The course is what you're used to size wise so shouldn't be too bad. We ran the same props at your place that we run up here.

Does Don still want to run another boat? Needs a reciever and a radio but I have a Titan 29 I could throw at him. Easy driver. It's black with hot pink graphics. Not Dons style but it works.

The water is so much different the farther north you go....I don't think you will be able to adapt.....There could still be ice on it at race day....you should stay home.

[Doug Smock]

LOL John. Can't wait to smack you around in person.

Thanks Terry.
Good to know you guys ran the same props, that helps.

I think Don is going to build a boat, (hull and all ) for P limited Mono. What's the most common set up for that class?
He's also going to see if he can pry the JAE out of Lamar's hands.

Tell us about P Limited Offshore.
We can spot a trailer down in the pits and leave it overnight correct?

Again, you're on the ball Mr. Waters! Thank you sir!

Doug, AQ2030. Prop size varies depending on weight of the boat, how wet it runs, etc. Safe place to start is 42x55.

Course is a modified M. We use the start buoy to form a slight left in the front straight. Then there is an extra pin straight in line with the back chute. Think far to the right end of the course. We'll likely go 100' instead of the 85' regulation because we can and to keep people from hitting that pin during sprints.

[T.S.Davis]

It's a 4 minute race with a 1 lap mill. Everyone takes off at about 25 seconds or so. Then you count the laps. We include 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 laps towards the total too.

[rayzerdesigns]

Is it like our course in scottsdale?
