            Here is one of the Q Sport heats from the helmet cam. This thing works better than I thought it would. Terry Davis wins this one.....and video evidence that we WERE over!!!! Good call Mr. Waters.

                Some amazing driving, guys! Beautiful boats. GREAT site! What an amazing event. I'm very sorry I missed it.

                I also would like to apologize to my buddy, Mike Pags... I hear that things didn't go so well with my Silver N1 Mono, and I'm really sorry about that. Sounds like that wire drive just didn't work out and that sucks! Hopefully your daughter will forgive me! I lay myself at her mercy!

                  Once you guys get all settled back into your normal routines, if someone could post the heat racing official times for these heats, or maybe just the fast times, that would be great. Would be nice to see what bench-marks to strive for.

                      We'll probably do a cup race on a smaller scale than the FE nats. I would encourage everyone to hit either. FE racers are truly a special group. I consider each and every one of you friends.

                          Darin-Fred's working on getting full heat sheet data on RCRACINGEVENTS and NAMBA's site will have fast time data. Just need more time. A special thanks to David Santistevan, NAMBA's website chairman, for posting the data as if he has nothing else better to do! We'll continue to input data throughout the week.

                          What a great time, guys. Thanks for all of MMEU's efforts, as well as the Elk Lodge Members, for making this event such a success. Fred has been burning the midnight oil for months now to make sure this thing went off without a hitch. You guys would be shocked if you knew how much time he invested just in heat sheets/adds/drops/changes alone! it's a daunting task.

                          A few stand outs for me. First off, the kids. MMEU found themselves in a situation where 5 kids were actually better than the Kids R Boaters, Too class, but maybe not quite up there with the adults (well, except for Ava, as Pags mentioned-more on that later). They set up the kids with their own heats, and had the top NAMBA drivers pit for them. The expression on their face when they knew that Doug Twaits, Brian Buaas, Simms, etc would be helping them ALL WEEK was priceless. And, it paid off, too. All of them are hands down better at this hobby after 5 days of racing at this event. And, Pags is right, Ava drives better than he does. I threw everything I had at her in a P Mono heat and it was only her flipping that got me past her!

                          Marc "Hobby Master/Roll Your Own" Cerankowski is an MMEU/Elks member that is new to the hobby. He DNF'd his first heat of SV-27 and was frustrated. We talked a bit and I pitted for him the remaining 3 rounds. 1200 points later he was sitting tied for 1st with Mike Ball, and ended up beating him with fast time! Seeing his eyes light up when he realized what he can accomplish with the encouragement of an experienced pitman was a feel-good moment for me.

                          Q Offshore. 8 boat heats all day. 20 bodies up on the drivers stand. Not 1 hit. In fact, during all 5 days of racing you could count the number of hits with less than 1 hand (sadly I did one of them...sorry Mike Buck!). I've seen more carnage at a flippin' club race than what happened at this entire event. Anyway, back to Q Offshore. I've never zoned like I did on the final heat as I was on Twaits hip the entire 4 minutes. My boat had a bit more speed, but he just wouldn't give up lane 1. At the 3:55 mark, I finally broke him as he went skipping off the course and flipped at the pin. But, I couldn't grab the next 1/4 lap! We finished tied that heat, and I only had him by 1/4 lap overall. And, that's not the only offshore class that ended that close. It took me a few hours to shake that one off.

                          Watching the Q Sport Hydro heat. 7 boats? Davis sticks his so hard that 3/4 of his boat is buried in the mud 10 feet deep...maybe more. Boat is recovered by the diver, and Terry has it up and running the next round.

                          More will come to me as I find more time. Just need to get more caught up @ work.

                          Thanks again, MMEU! Rock on Rochester-North Oakland Elks #2225!

                            Hobbymaster raced with us at the 09 nats. He's into every form of RC there is. Sailboats, planes, cars. He does repair on planes for a local hobby shop.

                              Still tired. I'm typing a post in word first so I don't have so many spelling or grammar mistakes. What a week! I'm quite jazzed to get a 3rd in Q-Sport Hydro when the boat has only seen a dozen laps or more in practice before the race. That speed is crazy!

                              I feel bad that I hit Bob Zola's Q-Sport, really, really stupid... my pit man was even yelling in my ear GO WIDE!!!!!! Sorry Bob I zoned out into tunnel vision...

                              later....
