Great to see you will run a P-Spec crackerbox class! I'm trying to get our club amped for them but so far no interest because nobody makes a reasonable size cracker! We need a 28-30" fiberglass cracker hull!

There is a FG one coming out and also some wood kits in the very near future.
There has been a lot of work getting done for the FE Nationals. Things are starting to fall in place but a lot still needs to be done. We have sponsors for nearly 1/2 of the classes. And the schedule is Pretty much in place. As we had a lot of racers coming in for just the weeks end races we have decided to flip thursday and fridays race schedule, all Off Shore classes will be raced on Thursday and all of the classes that would have been ran on Thursday will now be on Friday we simply changed the 2 days with each others schedule. Please try to register as early as possible as somethings need to be ordered ahead of the race. Its shaping up to be a great race. Hope to see you all there! :http://www.2010fenambanats.com/index.html
The Namba 2010 Fe Nats would like to extend a big thanks to Don Wollard and Doug Twaits of Rum Runner Racing and Rum Runner Hobbies. They are going to sponsor the pit tent area. The tent cost is a big expense and they' re sponsoring it which lifts a large financial load from the event, Thanks Guy. This is a great Help. This is shaping up to be a great Nats!!!
We have hit the 90 day mark we have less then 90 Days to go, We are getting entries from coast to coast and some very good racers are planning the trip. If you are still on the fence, it is coming together to be a great race!!!
I might have missed it Rod, but which lake is it going to be? (edit Sanborn Park, just saw it) I see that it's in Greeley? That makes it more doable for me for sure - cuts it down to a 9hr drive instead of 12+...

Thing are stating to come together for the 2010 FE nats, We are receiving race entries from coast to coast, with the confirmations and entries I have received to date we are pushing 100 boat entries with over 2 months till race day. It is shaping up to be a great race!!! I'm sure a lot of guys are on the fence. So if you might want to go to the Electric nats here is a great chance!! We have entries and confirmations from some of the best guys in FE racing today.
Mailing my entry today. There looks to be 4-5 of us from the Wisconsin/Minnesota club coming.

Good deal, Happy you are coming and looking forward to seeing you guys again !!! Things are coming together pretty well, wow only around 8 more weeks, were did those 8 months go? s
I sent my registration off today. I registered for...
P-mono
P-offshore
LSH
P-sport hydro
I didn't register for p-spec hydro as I wasn't sure if it would be ready by then. Is it possible to register for an additional class the day before the race if I get it done by then?
