    Random thoughts

    I already sent Brian a message asking to get on the list for a CB, but that isn't our main priority at this point.

    We do need more members. I have committed on our behalf to have a race at our site in 2010 as part of a central Florida series. I forwarded some of ya'll my correspondence with Ken regarding that matter. We can discuss further Sunday.

    I have left several messages with Kent without response. Accordingly, I assume he is not interested.

    I don't have Ricks number. If Someone does - please call him as he does not always check here.

    I think the flyers are a great idea. Lets do it.

    Wasn't RRR going to give us a club listing??

    Jim, I will remind you to put the sign in your car.

    I will call Grauuunt.

    Isn't there an Orlando contingent? If anyone knows them..give 'em a call. Maybe they would be interested in making the drive to our monthly events.

    Are any of the Dover guys interested in FE after the showing you guys made?

    See you Sunday.

        Hey guys! As soon as I can get a job I will be participating quite regularly. After a phone call yesterday, that may be sooner than later.

        Ive got a SV27 and I have a 32" cat w/ BJ26 motor. I HAD the Proboat ESC and will soon be running it w/ an Etti 150. Not sure if there is a class for that hull/ setup but Id love to run it. If it needs to go back to the PB ESC, I can do that.

          You can run that cat with the BJ motor and what ever esc you want in the LSO class that we are starting to run. But you will have to run it on a 4s setup. If Rick, and his buddy show up, that will be 2 more SV's to run.

            Jeff and Ray,

            I misunderstood your comment. I thought you were making that comment in response to my saying we need more members! Didn't even think about a new class in the context of your message.

            Sorry about that!

Once we grow some more, then we can look at more classes. There is no reason not to build one if you feel like it, but I do agree with Ray, lets get better participation in our current classes so that we can have some better racing. I have finished my tunnel, and next I have to build another LSH.

              Can you copy me on the correspondence with Ken?

              Thanks for the heads up about the signs! I'll put 'em in my van tomorrow!

                  Take I-75 south to the Fruitville (Sarasota) exit 210. Go east to Apex Road (Ackerman park, frst road on right) follow it around the S bend and you will see a somewhat large rectangular pond on the right.

                        club boat

                        Good job today guys. Ray....I heard you got a 4.9 from the Russian judge.

                        Anyway, a special thanks to the gentleman who drove all the way from Tavares county. I regret that I don't remember his name.

                        I put together a club boat that I am donating to the club for visitors to run. It would compete favorably with any SV. I do need a esc. So, if anyone has one to donate, that would be helpful.

                        We had a lot of visitors today and it would have been good to have a boat for them to run ( we do now) . The airplane guys figured this out a long time ago with a trainer and a buddy cord. It will be all set up..plug and play for anyone who is not tied-up, to spend a little time with visitors and let them run a fast boat.

                        Thoughts?

                              I sure am glad that Ray provided the highlight of the day because my boats all sucked the big one! Nothing was going right and then Kerplunk! Thanks Ray!

                              BTW, did your cell phone recover?

                                Good idea Mike. What would you consider a good boat for visitors to run? I have a bunch of NiMh packs that could be used in the 'visitor boat'.

                                Tom, I hope you enjoyed yourself yesterday. That was a long drive for you! We certainly enjoyed meeting you.
