        ok hypothetical question

        do you club guys let newbs like me in a race with no experience?........what happens if I take everyone out in the first turn...will I get beat up or in a big lawsuit

        what class would my 41 falcon cat be with scorpion motor on 10s?

        I have a vacu pickle and a 25" df mono copy anda MM with a castle neu 2200kv

        any of this stuff qualify or will they even let newbs like me compete?

            I believe your Falcon would be a "T" class boat. No one in our group has a boat like that. Your vacu-pickle would be good to run in LSH if you have the right motor in it. We don't really have a class for your DF copy. The MM with the neu motor would be considered a p-offshore I believe, but we don't really run that either. My MM is running spec offshore since we have a couple guys with AM Tritons in the club to run against.

            Regardless of weather or not we have a specific class for your boats as they are currently built, doesn't mean you can't come out and run with us. You could run your MM against a couple of q-offshore boats, but you will be at a bit of a size disadvantage. I tried it with mine without much luck.

            Come out to our next meet and bring your boats. Don't worry about never having raced, you have to start some where like we all did.

              We will find room for you to run anything you bring. Nobody busts em up more than we do.

                        Tom,
                        Those are Whiplash hulls. Great runners. I just had one built and it was shipped on Friday. I should be able to start the hardware/motor install this week. GREAT running boats. We are running them in LSH (P Spec Hydro) with your choice of SV27, Proboat, or UL-1 motor and 4 cell lipo.

                        Hope to see you again this month!

                            This is a no pressure deal. We always set aside time for newbes and those running new boats to run and test. Racing isnt always the priority ( although there are a few of us that do enjoy the competitive nature of the hobby). Our goal is to provide an opportunity for those interested in FE to have a place to run their boats and share a common interest.

                            I understand the 'come and watch' first time deal, but usually they end up wishing they had brought their boats.......
