How many racers were there last year? Any spectator traffic?

[properchopper]

By the power vested in me (by me) I hereby offer SoCal FE's sponsorship of any class deemed appropriate.

Put me down for :

P-Offshore ()
P-Ltd Mono
P-Sport Hydro

P-Ltd Offshore
P-Ltd Cat
LSH
P-Mono
Jersey Skiff ( Oh wait )

[D. Newland]

Thanks for the SoCal sponsorship!

Skiffs and Crackerbox didn't make the list this year because of the limited #'s we've had in the past and I wanted to make room for P-Ltd Cat. However, we'll add them if we get 3 racers that want to run them. We've always been flexible at this event.

I think we had 20 racers last year...? Spectators-yes. Our pond is part of the Scottsdale parks system, complete with a concrete walkway/bike path and a frisbee course next to the pond.

Jersey Skiff ( Oh wait )

T-

You and me, baby!
I can count as two racers, but if it's three boats that are required, I can drive mine so it looks like two boats....

Bro, I'll bring my JS and we can have a lunchtime JS "exhibition" race / buoy-cutting extravaganza for comic relief :

[D. Newland]

We won't repeat last years mistake. If 3 "P-Ltd Jersey Skiff's" show up, we'll get it on the roster.

It was a hoot, though!

[madmikepags]

Dave I'm coming just to whoop ur but!!!! No BUBBLEGUM
Happy thanksgiving!!!

[D. Newland]

If you don't make it, I'm taking your name off of my P Mono!

[madmikepags]

ok i'll come only if you run Q offshore!!!

[madmikepags]

and I'll sponsor the race!!!

[photohoward1]

[D. Newland]

Nice, H! I've got no time to build one, so my Insane will be running another season. I talked to Pags last night. Lock down the flight, Mike!

Due to a recent office move and a host of household items that needed my attention, I've neglected keeping this thread updated like in years past. I'll get on it in December. Have no worry, though. My fleet is as strong as ever. I left the '12 Nat's with barely a scratch and a bent pushrod. Also, the Az competition keeps getting better.

I will say this, our 2013 race will be our best yet. I've fielded calls/texts from guys that haven't been to our race before. The planets will align for WW 9!

If anyone has any questions, please let me know.

If you're on the fence, make the commitment. You won't regret it.

[madmikepags]

Let me get the format straight:
friday: 3 rounds of
P-OFF
P-ltd MONO
P-sport
P-ltd Hydro

sat/sun all other classes 3 rounds each day, (total 6) but none of the stuff from friday right? they just run 3 rounds?
Are you gonna have a high points award?

[photohoward1]

Put me in!

P Offshore
P-Ltd Mono
P-Limited Hydro

Saturday/Sunday:

P-Limited Offshore
P-Limited Catamaran
P-Ltd OPC
LSH

[madmikepags]

I'm not gonna race P-Mono either, just so Dave can finally win it!!!!! LOL

[D. Newland]

I chatted with my P mono and we are both in agreement that no more races will be lost. Please bring yours so I can see if mine is being honest with me, or if it's FOS.

Oh, we do have a high points award, too.

[namba688]

Dave,
I guess jim and I shouldn't even show up for P mono as
we don't stand a chance! LOL
Ted

[properchopper]

David, don't get too cocky. Once I get a few minor bugs worked out of my mono, you're in big trouble
