A good time was had by all who attended.
The Gas and Nitro guys were very impressed with our FE boats, we may even have a few converts for next year.
Thanks, Ken

Thanks agen Steve and ose for always helping out

[Steven Vaccaro]

Glad I could help out.

Did the nitro guys like the speed of the p monos? How do they compare to 21 nitro mono classes?

[Ken Haines]

Hey Steve,
All the FE classes were very fast, notably the Spec riggers for their small size.
The best of the P-mono's were capable of 60+
These guys had good gas and nitro boats too.
The P's appeared faster, although their boats were great in race water conditions.
It would be interesting for some crossover racing.
At Doug Smock's club their IMPBA rules allow them to run open mono & open Hydro.
Thats a blast but the big FE boats are sure expensive.
I hope to race those open classes again in a few weeks.
Thanks, Ken

Thanks for the info Ken. Reason I asked is that I will be running at a nitro pond this summer.

Ken-this may be a tall order, but at some point do you think you can get the heat times for A mono, B mono and P mono from the race organizers?

Some race organization software will print off a page of every racer in each class, along with their fastest heat time. Or just get the winner, or top 3...anything really. I bet it would be telling information.

A-rigger and P-Limited rigger would also be good to see...

[Ken Haines]

Hey Dave,
I'm not sure that they took any times, but I will ask.
Good thoughts, we will see.
Ken
