Hobby man. You got to be kidding. You only will run on one pond and a 20 minute drive is too far.....

were is the pond u are talking about?

[TLeyde]

Hobby man, the pond is in Eagan. It's located 5 minutes south of the Mall of America just off hwy 77. It's the only organized racing around. It's very low key, we do keep points calculated for the day/season. It's a blast, we would like to see you there. Check out our website at tcmbc.org.

What's the racing/practice schedules look like this year?

I need to dig out my boats one of these weeks and get some use out of them this year. I didn't run anything at all last year, and I don't intend to repeat that again!

[TLeyde]

This weekend we have a fun day/speed run. Everything is on the website, www.tcmbc.org. In order to race you will have to be a IMPBA member ($60 covers anywhere in Midwest and some other areas ins. for yourself and pond owner). If you want full access to the pond at anytime. You have to be a membe ($20 first yr. $40 each additional yr.). This includes use of pond, docks, drivers stand, course, and retrieve boat.

I'm on the north end of the cities in Maple Grove and yes, it does take a bit to get down to the pond, but I try not to miss a chance to get down there and race. Eagan is a short trip compared to the trips to Madison and Racine WI and Scottsdale AZ. Have really banged up the boats a couple times, but never had any regrets about going to a race. At least with the Eagan races I get to sleep at a decent hour.
If anything, stop down to the pond to see all the fun yourself.

Anyone located in Central MN?

Met someone from Royalton a while back but they ended up moving out east for work before we got a chance to do any running. I haven't run much FE the last couple years. Still have a bunch of P-Limited boats, but have transitioned over to gas. The Eagan pond has weeded over very quickly the last couple years and they've run a couple races with another club in Eau Claire. We're looking for a new pond so if you know of any options, let us know.
