Mid Atlantic Boaters, lets break the FE barrier in IMPBA D12

[Chilli]

Chuck, Your avatars crack me up.

Are you Scotch? You seem a little too mellow......

My wife is Scotch/German

[egneg]

No !!!

Doby didn't like my Green Bay Packer avatar and said he would rather see a picture of Douggie.

[Chilli]

I'm not going to touch that one....

There is going to be a one day D12 Fun Run at the Delmarva Pond in Queenstown, MD on Sunday November 1. Gas, Nitro and me as usual. Actually, I asked if I can run with the B-mono's since it's a fun run. If they say yes, I will probably be there. I'll post any further details as I get them. Kent, drop by if your not doing anything.

Hey Mike!

Thanks for the news on that! I will try to clear my plans (if any) that day. Sounds pretty good! It would be great to meet you there!

egneg...will you be there as well?

Keep your eye on "The Dock" post about the D12 Fun Run Doug". It might get ugly. I'm starting to loose my patience!!!! I sent a email to all D12 club and district officers a few weeks ago about including a FE class to fliers next year. Offered 5 new IMPBA members. I only got two positive responses from the Old Dominion Club. The one club I didnt think would swing our way. The rest did not even respond. Four emails in the last year to Don and not one response.

[Chilli]

Just got a email from my club VP. He said I have his support and would talk to the Club pres to get a final okay. I'm feeling a little better now. That was timely.

I will not make it to Maryland but I do plan to attend the Chesapeake Time Trials next weekend and hopefully the SAW event in Elizabeth City in 3 weeks.

[HOTWATER]

Wow! The SAW event... now that would be cool to see! I'll have to see how far that is away from me...do you have an address and date/ time for that event?

-Kent

[Chilli]

Guys. If you go to either of the events, do me a big favor and see if you can find Preston Hall and/or Timothy Jones. They are the President and VP of ODMBA.

It looks like they are going to let me and John run with the nitro's at the fun run in a few weeks.
John is going to be runing in a "20 Tunnel, 20 hydro, RTR, FE Hydro" class. I'll be running in OPEN NITRO MONO

Should be interesting!!! I have a Hydra 240 on order...

For anyone that want to join us racing next year. The 2010 IMPBA membership application is available on www.impba.net On the upper left corner you'll see "Current Info". Click on "Roostertails". "Click on "September 2009" and you can find it on page 75.

Also, the latest FE classes and rules are in the December 2008 edition of Roostertails starting on page 10.

If you become a new IMPBA member or are an existing IMPBA/NAMBA member who would like to join us for a race (especially you Jersey and Keystone State boys), please let me know so we can show D12 we are committed to racing next year and get some FE classes on the schdule for the first time in 2010.

The Hagerstown, MD race is 17 miles south of the Mason/Dixon Line, SW of Harrisburg, PA. Our race on the Eastern Shore of Maryland (Queenstown) is about 70 miles from the Delaware Memorial Bridge.

Thanks!

Hey Mike!

I tried to click on "Roostertails" and then "September 2009" went down to page 75 and nothing was there...even after I waited for something to pop up...so I just clicked on "Voting/ Forms" and it gave me the IMPBA 2010 Application form.

-Kent

[Chilli]

Thanks Kent. Last time I checked the Forms section (a week or two ago) the 2010 application wasnt on it yet. I should of checked again before I made the last post.

Are you getting any of the pages when you click on Roostertails? If so, it's probably just taking a while to download.
