Ty was in his room reading the NAMBA rule book. He comes out and says "there's nothing in there about how old you have to be to CD a race". Busted. Had to tell him it was my rule.
Guys, again, read your rule book. Don't let a 15 yo know more than you do.Noisy personComment

From Mikes build thread..................
That's just local. There are more in the district. 2 in OH that I'm aware of but I doubt they'll come up for club racing. Then Tom from the Transom Twisters has one too so that's 8 potential. Now I wouldn't push the club to make a change to accommodate boats we've not seen at the pond but the Q's have outgrown our pond too. Even P sport has gotten sketchy.
It's a delicate balance kinda thing. We certainly could move to a bigger body of water but not if it costs us bodies. If guys suddenly don't want to participate because of a drive for instance. Burton for example is beautiful....... but it's way the heck up in Burton. Can't leave a course in. Ackkkk. It also needs to be possible/manageable for the guys that do the grunt work to do that grunting. If it's a journey to the center of the earth it wont get done. Done it that way before too.
I've watched ponds for years that just haven't panned out. There's a killer pond at 21 mile road and M53 that I can't find the right people to ask about access. The Lions have a pavilion right there that will cover 60 people easy. There's even a vending booth that has stainless counters like a kitchen. But they don't own the pond. It belongs to some state agency. Everybody always says "oh, that's the state". That's like saying "just place a call to Washington"
I still want to look at that Messina pond. I can't figure out why they aren't already hosting races there instead of Spencer. They're only a couple miles apart. Has to be a reason. Have to track Burt down on that location. Mike and I may be meeting with that club to talk about possibilities. I can ask then.Noisy personComment

Terry,
I know I live quite a distance from the club area, but would be more than glad to do some leg work / research on various pond that you guys are looking at. Tracking down owners, access possibilities etc. Just let me know if you need some help in that area.
