NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

[sailr]

Rick, can you bring ANYTHING showing you applied for the NAMBA membership? It took a while for me to get mine too a few months back. We'll poll the other members there about your situation and see what we can work out. Look forward to seeing you and your guest!

Our website is up and running. Not much there yet. You can check it out at:

Jim is Herb still planning to come down with you on sunday? He mentioned to me on Wed that he was going to ride down with you and bring his trailer. if not let me know. I don't want to bring the Gheenoe unless I have to. I will still plan to have my generator again.

[sailr]

Not sure Jeff. I'll call him tonight or tomorrow and try to get an answer for sure.

[sailr]

Tried to call him. His cell phone voice mail box is full and he doesn't answer his land line. I'll keep trying.

How many guys are coming this time so far, and what are they running. I will be there with the p-mono and LSH.

[hebner]

I will be there with Q offshore, Spec Tunnel, Spec Rigger & SV27.

[sailr]

Hugh, no LSH?

I'll be there. Bringing Spec CAT, LSH and a couple other little guys. Didn't get my spec rigger or P rigger done! Waiting for ESC for my P mono.

Not sure my back will be up to running but I'm gonna give it a try!

Jeff,
Sorry, but you better bring the Gheenoe. I can't get in touch with Herb. His voice mail box is full and he doesn't answer his land line.

I need another UL1 motor & esc. I took one out of LSH and put in Spec Rigger, my other UL1 motor & esc is in Spec Tunnel

I'll be there with the Super V, and I think one other potential newby with the same...

Thanks to Ray and Jeff ( workhorse) for putting on another fun event. Major props to Jim for all of the background Club effort. We need another young guy member to relieve some of Jeffs effort.. He changed 12 props on my OPC in a record 7.5 minutes, paddled the retrieve boat every heat, brought the generator, gheenoe and supported us semi-old timers every chance he could. Thanks again .

[obrien]

Glad to help! I need to pick up a couple of new props to start reworking. I would have liked to have seen the last prop run, I think it would have finally been one to work a bit. hopefully next time I won't be retrieving my upside down boats.

It was a great day of racing but we're gonna wear Jeff out! He is really a trooper and we really appreciate all his efforts. A lot of people in the club have put forth a lot of effort in one fashion or another but Jeff does all the physical work! THANKS JEFF!

I love setting up clubs and events and doing the paperwork, the organizing, etc. It's the stuff most people hate doing! It's what I did in my professional life as a Parks and Recreation Director and it gives me a lot of satisfaction. My greatest satisfaction in life has always been to help others have fun! Of course since my back is so crapped out, anything I can do sitting down is welcome too! haha.

I actually ran a couple of boats today for the first time in a while. My back surgery didn't work out and the Doc says I have to learn to live with the pain so I figured I might as well grin and bear it. OUCH!

Hey Rick,
It was great to have your friend run his supervee today. Super nice guy and will be a great addition to the club.

Sure is nice to see some new people turning out. We had several visitors to the lake today and hope to soon sign them up. A number of our regular members were missing. One couldn't make it because it was his Anniversary! He can be forgiven! Haha. Where were the rest of you guys! Sarasota really isn't that far! I can drive it from North Land O' Lakes from my door to the lake in 1 hour! No biggie!
