    A round of P mono that eventually wound up with three boats being rescued by the recovery boat and one by fishing pole. I got the “last man standing” win.

      P Twins. Brian went upside down early, I did the submarine maneuver at 1:01 but came back up right side up. Scott got too eager to lap me and wound up upside down at 1:34. We sent out the recovery boat for mine shortly after the 2:50 mark. Did I mention this was not a good day for small boats?

        The day just wouldn’t be complete without a little LSO action. Brian’s Motley Crew against Scott’s Miss Geico. Any wagers on how many laps these guys completed?





        That's it for recorded runs today. Special thanks to Chris & Scott for being auxilary camera operators. Seems like as long as we're not all in the same class we manage to get a pretty good sampling of what we did today.

              We love Ackerman. It's great for practicing in race chop even when your's is the only boat on the water.

                  Encore RV Park

                  A handful of us (Hugh, Chris, Ted and I) went out to Encore RV park today as BG’s guest to check the lake for possible use as a running site for New Years day. We do like the big lake at Ackerman but thought it might be nice to turn it into a cookout to celebrate the new year. Bad side of Ackerman is that we’d have to transport in a grill and there are no “facilities” in the event of a call from mother nature.

                  That said here’s today’s 1st clip. Hugh’s mean machine LSO running with Brian’s tenshock cat. Wait… where is the chop? This doesn’t look right. I’m scared.

                    Hugh with his whip and Chris with his stealth for some LSH action. I was really wishing I had brought a boat but my even being there was an afterthought after my flying buddy wimped out on me this morning due to the breeze. Needless to say I didn’t have anything prepped to run and no packs charged. Probably just as well. Water that smooth can promote running too long and melting the solder joints on the motor to esc. Right Chris?

                      Here ya go Ron. This is what you were wanting to see. Hugh’s PS295 tunnel off on a solo run. I think this might be it’s 1st ever run on a flat surface.

                          Last one for today. Teddy and his Insane mono “P” boat. Still some dialing in to do on this one.

                            Great job again Bill, thanks for posting the vids. My boats didn't know what to think none had to be rescued today.

                              A handful of us did New Years Day at Encore RV Park today. A grill to do lunch and bathrooms made it a good choice for spending a day of playing boats and bs’ing with friends. The mirror like lake was a little scary though.
                              Didn’t get a lot of video (compared to how many runs we did) but we did have a good time, ate some good food and came home really tired.
                              1st up is Dan’s (eagle) big mono with Castle 2028. This boat still needs a bit of setup work done to it.

                                Next up Chris, Hugh, Larry & Brian G in a round of LSH. I was running camera and got too confused to tell who won the heat. One of y’all can declare yourself the winner.
