2012 NAMBA FE Nationals June 19th-23rd @ Legg Lake

[D. Newland]

For those racing the Phil Thomas Stealth Sport Hydro, please make sure your hull conforms to the 65% rule (bottom of transom / width between sponson planing surfaces).

The original post has also been updated with this information and it is being posted to allow as much time as possible to address this situation.

Please-no posts on this thread about this. They will be deleted. There are other threads open for discussion on this topic.

See everyone there. I will be running 1/8th scale hydro. Won't be able to fly in until the Friday though. Have to work.

[D. Newland]

Glad to hear, Todd. I am hopeful that the 1/8th scale class will make the 4 boat minimum and it's good to know you'll be there. Not many of them exist on the left coast, so you posting this early will hopefully get Naylor on board, as well as a few Az guys that (I think) have plans to build them before the Nat's.

[D. Newland]

I got word that Kim Grim is in for BBQ lunch assistance! I have often heard about it, but never tasted it.

The Ramada will be the host hotel and I will have information posted shortly. Working on the banquet and room rate details.

[Todd Fleury]

I spoke with Randy over the weekend, and he says he is in. I'm now running LSH and 1/8th.

Just when I manage to lose a little weight! You guys will not be disappointing. I've never had a meal that Kim made that wasn't fantastic.

At the last SAWs, the pulled pork was so good we couldn't get anyone to put a boat in the water during lunch (and the lake was glass smooth).

OP updated with host hotel information.

Will t-shirts be available. I had one sent to me from the 2011 FE nats and would like a 2012 if they are making them.

Being worked on as we speak. Will hold one for you for sure

[D. Newland]

Thank you MMEU for stepping up to the sponsorship plate!

[Todd Fleury]

Went to make my reservation for the hotel, and the code is not working yet - Rate NAMBA is not available for the dates you requested. Do we need to call it in to make the reservation?

[D. Newland]

Please call them directly. (626)350-9588. NAMBA may not be logged into their website. Also, I just set this deal up yesterday, but I bet if you call the front desk, they will get it done. If not, PM me and I'll get is square.

Thank you for your commitment! I will open class sign-ups Feb 1st.

[Todd Fleury]

Thanks, I tried the website and it did not work. I'll be sure to give them a call and let you know.

[D. Newland]

Thank you Aquacraft for stepping up to the plate with a very, very nice raffle donation!

Thanks Tony!

[D. Newland]

Race signups are open.

$25 first class, $10 each additional class. Payment deadline, as well as class cut off date (4 min to run) is May 19th. This also includes the banquet cost so I have an accurate head-count for the host hotel.

Banquet and shirt costs are still being finalized, but I'm shooting for $35 and $25 respectively.

OK to list post your classes here and also please PM me your email address and cell phone # if I don't have it already. If you have posted already, please re-post it after this thread.

Thank you for your consideration, gentlemen! I promise you this will be an event worth attending. If you're on the fence, make the commitment. You won't be sorry.

[Darin Jordan]

Race signups are open.

David... have you posted a link to the "Official" Nats site yet??

[D. Newland]

OSE is the official Nat's site...Are you talking about NAMBA's site? If so...yes, I'm working on that. I didn't realize it was missing until Jim called me over the weekend.
