Wow! Now I can't get on the impba site. I tried several time and it just pops up "Page cannot be displayed".

Must be my P.O.S. computer...or owner/operator (me) failure!! LOL!

I'll keep trying...

[HOTWATER]

The site is up and running again...

I am sending my AP. in today Mike...

Thanks again

Thanks Bro. I have to send in a renewal myself. I ordered a Castle 240 and a pair of Turnigy 35C 5000's. Hope I get them in time for next Sunday. I'm interested to see how the 35C Turnigy's do. At $140 a pair,I had to give them a shot.

I think we might want to change stategies a bit for next year. Instead of asking for FE classes for all District races, ask for the ones that we have shown interest in participating. That would be the Capitol RC race, Chesapeake Race and the Delmarva Race. This way we only have to convince the individual clubs instead of the entire district to put us on the fliers. And since we already have the support of the OD and Capitol Club, we're 2/3's of the way there. How about for classes, we just do FE-Open Mono and FE-Open Hydro? This way we can include anyone that wants to run inlcuding RTR's. IMO, 2010 should be about getting as much participation as possible. If people decide the this racing thing is cool and want to continue, we can then decide on specific classes for the following year. That being said, next year I'll run my Titan in Mono and either my son or myself will run his Mean Machine in hydro. If/when we decide on specific classes the following year, I'll do either a sport hydro or rigger build. This winter I have my hands full doing a gas build for me and a FE mono build for my youger son.

Yo! Where did you buy the Turnigy's from? Did you get a deal on them?

[HOTWATER]

Great deal! Hopefully shipping didn't kill ya!

[Chilli]

Regular shipping was about $20. I paid the extra 10 to hopefully get it fast.

Time will tell whether it's a good deal.

Kent, You still plan on droping by next Sunday??

Mike I have a pair of the 4S/35C/5000 packs but haven't had a chance to try them out yet. They come with 8 awg wire and 5.5mm bullets. I will have to get the app for 2010 and send it in as it wasn't posted the last time I was at the site. I did however notice that there is an open book test and it says you need 100% score to race. Did you do this and if so can I get the answers from you.

Edit: I paid the extra as well and it took less than a week to get them.

[Chilli]

Chuck, I knew you had a set of the Turnigy's but didnt know they were the 35C's

I remember seeing something about a test on the IMPBA site but did not know it was implemented yet. We're did you read about it. I can't find it.

I guess the weather is so crappy in the Mid Atlantic and Northeast today, everyone is sitting in front of their computer.

[egneg]

Mike the test starts on page 15 and continues on page 16 of the September Roostertails. There are 26 questions in all.

[HOTWATER]

I would also like the answers Mike...J/k!! egneg you crack me up!!

Is there really a test though? I have not heard or seen anything like that...

Yup...raining here too!

Also, I'm still thinking about goin Sunday, but I will let you know for sure towards the end of the week.

Chuck, From what I read, the test is non-mandatory for now and the trial will be reviewed next year so I would just turn in my application. Personaly, I do not like the test and I think it will discourage new members from joining. No one requires a 100 on a test and the rule book is a very dry read if your a newbie. I believe the test should be required if you race, but not to join.

No big deal if you can't make it Kent. Just curious..... but we could use you to schmooze the Delmarva Club

Glad to hear that as it looks unless you know someone quite knowledgeable in the rules it could be tough to get a 100%!
