I know you're out there - some of us have gotten together in the past. I remember meeting a few experienced racers at get-togethers at Murrayhill Pond and Westmoreland. Several of us were members over on RRR back in it's prime. I'm in Oregon City, have quick and easy access to Westmoreland, as well as what is one of the best model boat "lakes" in the area (next to the OC Shopping Center). I'd really like to get something going for both sport boaters and racers - primarily test and tunes, hanging out running fast boats and sharing info, and maybe find a few more people that might want to head out to race with the Rose City Model Yacht Club, as I've heard they have a spec UL1 class, as well as a 1/10th scale hydro class. I don't have anything fancy at the moment - just a UL1, Revolt 30, and a Shockwave 26 brushless (bought it for the kids, more or less), but would love to build some custom boats as the local scene grows. The quarry next to the OC shopping center is probably the best place to run - it's big, smooth, has a decent amount of shoreline - you can run gas and nitro of you want. I think there are a couple of picnic tables, too. Westmoreland is great for exposure to the public - people are always commenting and asking questions.
Let me know if any of you are interested. I can usually find time to run in the evenings and weekends.
