Our group did well at the Waveblasters event. We had a 2nd and 4th in LSH, a 2nd in P-Mono, and a 3rd in Q-Offshore. Those are finals after three heats. We had three podium finishes against some very good competition. I earned the P finish, the Q finish was basically a result of attrition and not many entries. I hope we can encourage more of ya'll to participate in the next event . The Waveblasters were excellent hosts and have an awesome facility.

I just wanted to say that the electric guys put on a decent showing today I think. we had a good variety of boats running today. I had my delta, Jim had his delta, hugh brought his big cat, and the other 2 gents ran aeromarine titans. I was able to hold off Hugh in both heats, but he as coming hard, and was almost able to catch me.
The tampa club has a nice new site. It also seems like we will be able to continue running with the guys more and more.

I agree. The Tampa Model Boaters ran the first event ever at their new lake and there was an incredible turnout. 74 heats!

We got a lot of interest from everyone there and some good comments like "wow, I didn't know electrics were so fast".

I feel really good about the respect we were shown. A lot of the nitro boys are starting to show some interest in electrics or at least like what they see. Several comments about our "figure 9" start method. It just blew them away that we could just drive out to turn 5 and sit there waiting for the start countdown.

The weather was diabolical with rain and wind. The sun finally came out about 2 or 3 oclock but the wind switched to come out of the north and put some pretty nasty chop on the lake. Our last heat nobody could run at more than about 1/2 throttle.

All in all a very productive day for promoting Fast Electric and it's always fun to be with Jeff and Hugh!! My Delta still isn't ready for prime time though. Needs lots more testing and tweaking and then of course there's the problem of my cutting at least one buoy in every race!
