2012 NAMBA FE Nationals - Getting Excited about the Nats, Thread...

[D. Newland]

Yes-Offset course with a nice, long backstretch, then come around and a left turn at the start buoy.

Packed up and heading out in the morning! Yes-we'll be feeding updates daily on this thread.

See everyone in a few days! Trying to get my 1/8th scale dialed in and finalized, but it is running really quick. Was super happy about the new ESC.

I'm really missing the nats this time around. Sorry guys. Finish some laps for me too.........since I couldn't do that even if I were there.

[ron1950]

at 41 hours drive time they did pretty well.....wonder if that was stright through? we need to move texas out of the way and it would only be 24 hours lol

[T.S.Davis]

Straight through is what I heard from my grape vine.

[LuckyDuc]

I'm green with envy. Wish I could be there.

[R.J.S]

Was hoping to hear some news from Legg Lake by now!

[T.S.Davis]

I just sent a text to Newland. See if he can rattle the cage a little.

N2 mono - Newland
Q mono - Newland
P mono - Twaits

That was from Wed racing. Not much of a report but what I have.

Interesting to me......all 4 of those guys I believe have been national high points champ in their careers.

I understand that the Pacific Northwest swept P Limited Tunnel with Kylie Morana first, Brian Buaas second, and Darrin Jordan third.
Way to embarrass the boys, Kylie!!
Brian also warmed up my 20 year old Executone with a win in T Sport Hydro.

Congrats Tony!

[PatrickM]

The awards banquet was a grand finale to four days of great racing involving many interesting personalities....

Tony entertained the ladies at the banquet seniors table, as well as working the crowd before and after...

Dave Newlands banquet spiel rivaled any late night talk show host's monologue and it was all ad-lib.... fantastic entertainment!
Another great entertainer on a "salt of the earth" level was Pags, many thanks to Mike for footing the bar tab!

Trying to get unpacked, working through a haze of exhaustion , vids to upload, tons of e-mails to answer, but : Thanks all. P-Ltd Cat Sprint is such a great class - hope it gets put in the lineup officially - scuttlebutt indicates that it looks good to go through channels. So much fun and close racing in the class. Kylie's basically stock MC was rippin' fast; found some of the Legg Lake danger- water and got caught up in it. The Geico's were doing well but my over-prepped MC and Brian's driving got us going into round four with two firsts and a second place apiece. Four boat's : Stephen's Geico & Wilmers Atomic; me & Brian. Wilmer & Stephen got tangled up and were out; Brian outdrove me for the round and class win. Awesome racing-hope to see more in this category.

Tony did you wake up with that tag on you?

Woke up the morning after the banquet and found the tag on my forehead after removing the lampshade from my head

[PatrickM]

Did you remove the Annette Funicello mask before donning the lampshade? I don't remember much after the mask.....
