4th heat of Q-Sport. Finally uploading some stuff.

Again I start last because i'm unsure of speed and staging for 1st place can cause carnage. The esc was not programmed to what I wanted and the boat isn't even close to dialed in yet.
That's almost 8 laps including the mill. Last to leave, last to come back to dock. Can you hear Al Waters saying, "slow down Ray, you're done..." LOL...

Nice, thanks Ray, one day there will be enough Q Sports out here to have a race. Only one so far, mine. :)
But there are some scales in the works. Heading to WA for the NAMBA Nats today so I'll get a chance to see some FE 1/8th scales there.

nice job ray..what place did u come in in that heat...looked like you were really flying the last two or three laps.....

I want to post the Top 10 High Points drivers, as they really did a fantastic job at this event.

1. David Newland 127 pts
2. Doug Twaits, Jr 125 pts
3. Ken Haines 106 pts
4. Mike Ball 78 pts
5. Tyler Garrard 74 pts
6. Fred Siewert 73 pts wins tie
7. Tom Castellani 73 pts
8. Ray Schrauwen 71 pts
9. John Einstein 67 pts
10. Terry Davis 62 pts


For High Points, each driver was allowed their 8 highest point classes towards their High Point total. 8 is the average boat count per driver @ the sign up deadline. You score points based off of entrants for any particular class. For instance, if there are 12 entrants in P Mono, then the winner of P Mono gets 12 points. 2nd place gets 11 points, etc. Obviously, you are rewarded highly for solid placement in the more popular classes. And, this type of calculation allows for the Offshore classes to be included as well.

One notable item. Jason Simms, who has won this before, tied for 11th this year. And, he only ran 5 classes. He was mostly Haines' and Pags' hired pitman for the event. If he would have signed up for just 3 more classes (and popular ones), he would have been right in there at the top. Oh the sacrifices he makes for his friends!

Great job, guys!

4 guys from MMEU in the top 10. Not too shabby.

I keep telling our gang that they can hang with anybody. Maybe they'll believe me now.

[Doby]

[T.S.Davis]
