        There will be classes for Spec Tunnel and Open Tunnel at the Tampa Model Boat Club lake on Aug. 13th. Anyone interested should go to rc racing events to sign up!

        This will be a first for them to include FE! A good turnout would be good!

          This danged heat doesn't seem to be letting up! Hopefully it will cool down a bit for our next gathering on August 14th! Speaking of which....who plans to attend? I'm not sure about myself if it's still this hot!

            Don't forget about the STORM tunnel races at the Dover lake in November! I know it seems a long way off but get signed up. We should have a large turnout!! The more electrics at these races, the better we look! More interest in FE could recruit some new members for our club as well.

              I'm already signed up for the STORM race in Nov. It's to hot for me to go to the Tampa Model Boat Club race on the 13 & 14 or to Ackerman. It's been 99 degrees almost everyday in Lakeland this week.

                I'd like to attend just to observe - no $$$ for another boat right now. Heck, I can barely drive what I have!

                And as to the 14th - as keeper of the retrieve boat, if someone wants to go, I'll be there for ya.

                          http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1478759 Kinda stalled on it right now. Waiting on a mount and cooler for the 2028 along with a few other odds n emds. Didn't do much to it last night as the a/c went down about 8:30 and probably won't do much tonight either. The a/c guy just has left and it's coolng again. It's going to take a while to get the place back to a "comfortable" level though.

                              I'm guessing with exception to offshore these are standard 6 lap heats? Do you know how many heats/class are being planned to run? And also are there any restrictions on the Open Cat class? ie single, twin, max batt ma

                                Yes, six laps to a heat. Including Offshore. This is OPEN offshore not electric offshore.

                                Open Classes are just that, open. Run whatever you want. As long as the hull type fits in the class.
