    There are about 5 FE racers here in WI. 4 live in the Madison area and I live in West Bend. We have a race this Sunday in Racine if you can make it. PM me for details. The race is predominantly nitro but the FE Is growing here.

    Yep, the valley RC boat club. They run gassers and a few nitros at the county park pond.

    If you are interested in racing next year you should come to a few of our races. We have one FE race in Mazomanie... usually in July, and 5 smaller FE races combined with the nitro club in Kenosha.

    Are you interested in running with some of us at the Racine Pond? You are more than welcome to come and check it out. It is a REALLY nice private pond and some good folks. We have sport boaters and racing classes for both gas and FE classes... not too far from you either.

    I'll send you a PM with my contact info.

    I believe that they play every Saturday and Sunday starting around noon. I have not made it there yet but am going to try this weekend.

    There is also a group of us that meet at the Appleton Yacht Club on Mondays at 5:00pm. The river has been high so they have not been playing, the level is dropping so they may start soon.

    Looking for the FE boaters in the Madison area. I am on Lake Koshkanong in Edgerton. Would love to hang out and run boats if we could work something out. My neighbor and I each recently picked up some Spartans and am looking for other places to run them besides our lake. Our lake is so big, there's pretty much always some sort of chop. Makes it difiicult to really get a feel for our boats. Send me a PM. Jason

    They actually run in Mazomanie, WI. Doug Peterson is who you want to talk to. His name on here is DPeterson. Myself and the Madison(Mazomanie) guys also belong to the Badger Model Boat Club in Somers, WI. Our next race is July 16 and 17th. You should come and check it out. They run nitro, gas, and of course FE.

    Just ordered my first boat, a Aquacraft Mini RIO and I live in GB. Always had toy RCs as a kid, and my 3yo son loves RC cars; in-laws have a cabin on a lake up north and plan on taking it out for the first time this weekend. Any places in Green Bay that are conducive for putzing around with an RC boat?

    Where abouts in Kaukauna? There are plenty of nice spring fed ponds near apartment complexes but I'm sure the landlords wouldn't be thrilled to see a guy out there zooming around in the water. Oh well. This weekend I'll be testing out my rio up north.
