                              Race and Rules Update

                              Hey Guys,
                              We have finally posted the additional spec class rules and P-Spec Power rules on the web site.
                              Go to Waveblasters.org (see the "News & Updates" tab)
                              Also as mentioned we are adding P-Spec Hydro to our race schedule.

                              We would ask if you already know that you are attending please send the attached application info to: [email protected]
                              We definitely need the entries so that we can better plan the race schedule.
                              Your help would be greatly appreciated as we do know many definite racers yet to sign up. We have had tremendous interest so far, also lake will be open all day Saturday for practice. There are already a gang of us planning to attend that practice day. Should be a lot of fun swapping FE stories, and tuning in our boats. By the way the recent weather has been great, 70-80 degrees, thats Florida !
                              "DON'T FORGET WE NEED YOUR ENTRY INFO"

                                Latest Update

                                We have 10 racers signed up already, with a total of 30 boats entered so far. If our count is right about racers who already told us verbally that they were racing we should have at least of 20 racers. So far 4 racers outside our club have signed up: Ray Rankl, Mike Harvey, Don & Donnie Wollard. Mike Pags has made his flight reservations, and the latest news is that Doug Twaits Jr. is coming. There have been some other notable racers inquire that are still strongly considering attending. Guys even if you don't have your boats ready this is starting to shape up as an event not to miss.
                                The now scheduled Saturday practice should be a great chance to meet and talk to some really good racers. Also if your not from Florida and have not noticed the weather it's been in the low 80's with very little humidity perfect chamber of Commerce weather. Check out the web-site if your still debating on signing up.
