    The entry list has been updated on post #31 above. One month to go. Get those entries in to Dick and Carol!!!

    I've been busy working on the tunnel the last two weeks . I found the battery/electronics box that the boat came with was just too small. So I fabricated a new one. The boat is all sealed up, the steering system and outdrive are installed. I'll post some pics in a day or two.

    Chuck, Mike, & Jason, good luck at the ODMBA club race this weekend.





    PS-Here's a pic of my gas DF Sniper taken at the last race.

      Thanks Mike, I will be turning in my entry form on Sunday as well for P-mono, 20 P spec hydro,
      and of course the 180 shootout.

      I am still undecided as to what I will use in the shootout though.

        Ye of so little faith. Have nothing race worthy, but I'll bring my pom-poms, and be the ugliest cheer leader you ever saw.

          The message is too short???

            Where is a good place for Mrs. Smock and I to spend the night?

            Mrs. Runz & I have a HUGE bedroom, and private bath upstairs. Free WI-FI, and cable TV. Alas, it is an hours drive to the race site, (Williamsburg). Also, there is a smaller bedroom, with a trundle bed upstairs as well.

                well I got off work but I dont think I am going to be racing. I just dont think my first race should be a district race I would hate to be an obstacle my first time out when points are so important.

                  Don't sweat district points Jason. Just take is slow, take the turns wide and don't get too aggresive.

                  Do novice class and the Shootout if you want. I raced novice all last year and thats what the class is there for.

                  Please get out there and race!!!

                  You will not regret it!!!

                      Yep! If you show up at the race without your boats you will probably regret it. Oh yeah, by the way...my first race was a district points race...

                      Don't worry about anything...come race with us!

                        This is Kent - Chuck - Mike having fun at the races...

                        This is Jason showing up at the race without his boats -

                        Seriously, it would be cool if you just showed up, but would be excellent if you raced!

                              Don't worry about your couplers not showing up...I have a few brand new ones you can use

                                Entry list is updated.

                                I see Kent finally got his entry in.

                                Two weeks to entry cutoff.
