Want to start a club in Charlotte, NC

[skiking1739]

I agree - having a course layout would be much more fun. How many club members are required for NAMBA membership? Anyone know?

I personally don't think the Lake Norman State Park would allow us to run a bouyed course, but it never hurts to ask. Then the distance is a problem since we're so spread out. Maybe we could have more than one venue - who knows.

As a waterskier for many years on Lake Norman, we had a small club that set-up and operated a waterski slalom course for 13 years. We had the capability of lowering the course for the weekend, due to lake traffic. During those times when skiing, I would run an imaginary slalom course - much like I do now for RC boats. BUT THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE!!
Lets keep working on it.

Thanks for your input.

Hello, I just found this thread! I have been posting on the thread you started on the RRR forum in hopes of meeting up at the Pineville Lake Park. I also frequent the north part of Lake Norman in Sherrills Ford. If any of you guys want to run sometime let me know ...I just finished a DF Sniper 45 ...it's slow on 8s but check the video of it running at the Pineville pond ... http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ad.php?t=23845

I have run a few times in the pond in the university area in the middle of all the shops. Always thought that would be a good place to get folks together (other then the cement walls the boats could hit). Over the years I have seen several folks try sailing clubs there.

Hey, I just recently got back in to rc boats. Been racing 1/8 buggies for quite sometime.
I picked up a aq.hammer few weeks ago and it gave me the bug again. So I just picked up a Motley Crew. I live in New London, NC and currently am running by myself on my 3 acre pond.
Y'all guys in the Charlotte area still trying to get together?
Would love to get together and actually do some racing

D.A.V.E and jjenkins,

Welcome ....I'm running my boats at least every other week this summer ...and like the club idea. Sunday's have been a good day for everyone I have talked to ...the ideal location for a club to meet should be discussed. I personally like to run in a lake, like Norman in smooth water even though it is a far piece from Matthews, NC.

Sorry couldn't meet up with you Rip... Still in the process of moving from Cornelius to Huntersville. LKN is cool, but I like MDunhams pond a lot. Good distance from me though, there has to be a decent place to run in Uptown. I ran at Freedom Park before. It wasn't terrible. Not sure if Pineville park is still low level. Sundays around noon are without a doubt best days for me

MDunham's pond in Indian Trail is nice...not a bad drive from the University area via I-485(D.A.VE.) or Albemarle via hwy 27(jjenkins)....but I do hit turtles every time I'm out and have to straighten props and such ...also the fisherman yell and give you the one-finger salute

Got an address ? Anyone going out over the weekend?


Fixing to put down some markers in my pond. From the looks for the namba/imba courses I've got the room.

Did you mark off a race oval ....that's sounds really cool? Anyone want to get together and run on short notice this weekend? PM and we can exchange numbers and figure out a place.
