Looked at the calandar and unfortunately I can't do it. I have six Sundays I have taken leave from work between now and the end of August and that aint one of them. Oh well, We'll have a blast at the district race.

[egneg]

Jason it was great to see you at today's race. I look forward to another FE guy running.

On a side note Dick Loeb was telling me there would be about 10 for the FE shoot out in August.

[Chilli]

We'll... How did it go today????

[egneg]

Pretty good ... nothing broke or smoked ... but I did take out buoy #6 in the 3rd heat with the mono.

Chuck, I just got the latest "ODMBA race results" email from Dick as I'm sure you did. I see your still leading the B/P-spec points chase with the UL1. I cant for the life of me figure out why the .21 monos in the district run so good and the same guys running the same type motor in riggers have so many DNFs. Are you going to run the UL1 in the District Race?

Mike,

Maybe my 20 some year description of a rigger will answer your question: Art Deco Two by Four

You are so right ... I am in the lead only because I can run longer. As for the mono I think I have most of the bugs worked out but I need to get a couple more mph out of it to be competitive. I think I will change the hull next year to a DF33. Yes. I will run the UL-1 but maybe in the shootout - I haven't decided yet. I f I get the XS2 running I may use it in the shootout.

chuck are we allowed to run riggers in the p-spec hydro class?

[D&D]

CYBERCRXT (Mike), I tried to reply to your private message but the system tells me your box is full and you cannot receive messages. But, to answer your message; the Carolina Trace is just south of Sanford, NC on RT87.

[Chilli]

How'd the club race go today guys???

[egneg]

Not so good ... besides the rain I broke a flex shaft and stuffed the UL-1.

[hazegry]

That sucks Chuck I got the stink eye from the wife this morning so I didnt go. pm me a good time to meet up and I will drop the boat off to you

[Chilli]

Ouch!!! Did you stuff it when the flex let go?? I cant believe the amount of damage. The whole darn sponson nearly tore off.

The flex broke on the mono (note: need to have a spare). The UL-1 tangled with a nitro rigger and lost!

[Chilli]

Sorry to hear that bro. Mama said there would be days like this. I do keep a spare flex for the races. After so many runs, you never know when it's going to let loose.

Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

PS- Who did you get tangled up with??? And damage to the rigger???
