IMPBA D12 Race #4 Chesapeake, VA

[Chilli]

Okay Guys, Here is the race flier for the ODMBA Invitational D12 race to be held in the Norfolk/ VA Beach area August 27th-29th. The race site is only 20 minutes from VA Beach and resort hotel prices drop significantly in the middle of August, so bring the family along. We're expecting the largest FE turnout of the season in D12. In addition to the regular D12 FE classes (P-Mono, P-Spec Tunnel & P-Spec Hydro), the club is also going to have a FE shootout to show the IC guys what FE's can do. It's a two heat "run what you brung" FE class. Only one rule. 180 Amp speed controllers max. Thats it. Lets get as many people as possible to try and make this event. Dick Loeb the club president has gone out of his way to bring FE exposure to the District. Let's show them we're for real. Would love to see the entire Tidewater gang as well as you guys from Carolina and the NAMBA1 crew from north of the Mason/Dixon line!!!

Looking at this seriously fellas. Eight + hour drive.
Where is a good place for Mrs. Smock and I to spend the night?

Don't tease us Doug!!! Obviously, we would love to have you.

If you do a search on Google Maps and type in "Indian River High School, Chesapeake VA". Then clear the search bar and type in "hotels". There are a bunch of places to stay a few minutes from the pond. I'm going to get a place on Virginia Beach about 25 minutes away so Mom and the kids can dip their toes in the sand. Rates drop big time after the second week in August when the kids start heading back to school.

No prob guys. I am definitely bringing the 4400 watt generator so who ever wants to can have some juice for power supplys and/or battery chargers. Bring extension chords if you want power. I have splitters.

It should be ok now - I fixed it.

[Chilli]

Thanks Chuck. I checked the prices at the Red Roof Inn and rooms were only about $80.

Breaking news: Hotwater is going to be piloting the "Dinoco" Titan 29 P-mono owned by Mikey Jr.

We have the possiblity of five P-mono's running folks.

Ah yes! I will be running P-Spec now... Very nice of you to offer that to me Mike!!! Should be a blast!!

Thats P-Mono (not a spec class). That Titan turns allot different than the JAE Kent. Better be there on Friday for open water. I'm sure you'll do fine!

Since none of us are in the points chase in B/P-mono, maybe Dick will let us run by ourselves if we have enough entries. It would be nice to be able to run wide open
