I'll be entering a nitro boat and was hoping to enter FE as well. If I'm only bringing one scale I'd probably bring the FE. Hopefully the clubs that do run them together will chime in with their procedures. Whatever you come up with it's going to be a great time.

Only 248 boats entered for an 8 day event? And In reality for anyone attending the entire event and travelling you would need 11 days. Really? You can do this event in 4 days?
It's roughly 200 heats, total, you can actually fit that into 3 days. I don't know, are there a lot of people on the fence for this and just haven't signed up yet?
I know a bunch of guys from our district that still haven't signed up..... So I can only guess there's others.
53 FE boats signed up. When we were awarded the Nationals I was super excited to have FE included. We did our best with the schedule separated the Scale class and will have scheduled open water for the FE guys.
If your on the fence or your coming and haven't signed up please do! Vegas in October is perfect and we will put on the best race possible!
I always see you Pags at The Winter Warm Ups, are coming to the Nats or just making an observation.... I hope you do make it to Vegas!
Might be coming to watch :spy: :bounce:
How do you handle logistics crossing the border? Do you drive or fly?Quote:

Just mailed my entry, 6 boats, 3 nitro and 3 electric including 2 scales, we'll be driving in our motorhome loaded to the gills lol. There's at least 8 going from our club so hopefully I can get some help carrying gear.Quote:

Sorry, Guys. I'm not going to be able to make this one. Had our Septic Field fail about a month ago and just had to pay to have a new one installed. That was an expense this year I wasn't planning for and wipes us out. That and the "group trip" that was planned has dwindled down to just me, so...
Just not in the cards again this year.
There has to be something wrong with that racer page. Sport 40 and 10th scale have just 2 entries each. Of the 248, 8% are just one guy running 20 classes. That can't be right.Quote:

Hopefully the trip relieves stress and doesn't add more than what I'm barely handling right now.
Really want to see some of you guys. It will have been over a decade since I've seen some of y'all.
Awesome, look for the Maple leafs flying in the pits :).

418 Boats / 75 Racers
The attendance is starting to shape up into a big event.
Don't be left out.....the entry cut-off is tommorrow Sept 23rd.
Getting excited for this one !
Hope to see you there,
Ken :bounce:

The lake is only 5 to 10 minutes from the strip. If you don't have a car then use Uber.

Ray, try the hotel shuttle. Might be further than they want to go but they may make an exception for you.
Thanks guys. Flight and hotel booked. Looking forward to seeing you guys, direct marketing conferences, not so much. Gotta take the good with the bad.
Maybe next year I can do some running if the logistics go well this time.
-----------------------
Try to make it an even 420 boats.... Vegas made that stuff legal in some ways. :bounce:
You'll have to harass Ken and Fede. I wont be there. It will be a light schedule for him compared to most every other time you've seen him so maybe he'll get a chance to string together more than 3 words in a row.Quote:

There are lots of people for me to meet. Just went over the roster.
I'm squirming around trying to think of a way to maybe run a boat but, it's not necessary. There will be lots to look at and talk about.
I could also just pay the registration fee to go to the banquet and other related events. That would be fun from what I've read.
459 Boats / 84 Racers
Wow !!

Nationals Update !
As of today 91 racers and 499 boats entered with more still coming in....
Mojo Racing is singed up and committed to 6 FE classes. Should be fun!
