Wow, what a great looking guy!
Anyone else going to this event?
For those that don't know, there's not a strong FE presence at this event. If you have your sights set on a record, it's likely that it will be yours to get. I only know of two FE guys that will be running, so come out and give it a try!

[Mike Caruso]

I am going ...but not with a boat this year.

That is a great looking guy!.......The guy standing next to the Keith Bradley boat doesn't look too bad either...

[Mike Caruso]

Where are the records listed just wondering what speed is S-?

Can Namba guys run?

Just run for time no patchs or records.

[Chilli]

Here are the current records: http://www.impba.net/attachments/art...15June2013.pdf

[Mike Caruso]

Thank you Chilli

WOW 109 and change great job KK.

[Terry Keeley]

NAMBA members can pay the $10 "one time fee" and run but to set a record you have to be an IMPBA member.

Here's some vid of Keith's record setting run:

[Mike Caruso]

Hey thats great news I have to learn how to run SAW the only way is to get there and start learning. I can run when the IMPBA guys are not ready to run now I am pumped.
Thanks,
Mike

[Chilli]

Get in there!! A SAW's weekend is the ultimate test and tune. You'll have a great time and learn speed secrets the SAW racers won't share online.

[Doug Smock]

Say goodbye to the old Mike as you head north.

Good luck fellas!

[Cooper]

I'm putting my T cat back together, depending on how some testing goes in the next two weeks,, I don't know. And of course work, that I really don't know, I'm going to try and push some stuff so I can at least be a spectator.

[RaceMechaniX]

I am going to at least be out there Friday. Can't stay the weekend this time, but will have the Q hydro with me for shake down test.

[Terry Keeley]

Only two weeks to go!

[RaceMechaniX]

Terry, will your usual FAST cohorts be there? And what time will you start setting up on Friday? I'll be out early to help if possible.

[Terry Keeley]

Won't be long now!

[Mike Caruso]

Bringing all extra parts ESC's, motors, Radio and RX let me learn and let the parts melt Ha

[Rocstar]

Won't be long now!

See you there...

Does this mean you are going to be at the event on Saturday or Sunday Tyler?
It would be nice to see some more FE guys, and of course nice to meet you. Let me know if you need anything. I know the trip from CA is a long one, so if you need to travel light and borrow from us (generator, tools, etc.), I would be happy to help (as I'm sure the other guys would be too).

[T.S.Davis]

We have a race Sunday. I'll try to get out on Saturday to shoot some poo.

[Cooper]

Just found out that my October schedule will not allow me to get there. I wasn't really looking forward to the drive but I was really looking forward to shaking some hands and placing faces. Bummed!! Aww hope it's really windy and raining!!! Lol, no I do hope that everyone has flat water and the sun to their backs. Just don't want any T class cat to go over 115mph!!! Maybe the first of the year saw event I'll be able to attend. But to those that are going I do wish best of luck and good weather.

[thomaslambo]

Good luck guys, looking forward to the results

[RaceMechaniX]

Thanks Keith,

I will only be there Friday and unfortunately without a boat. I have been traveling for three weeks on and off and did not have time to prepare. So I will just be out there to bench race and tell Terry to squeeze the trigger for at least a full pass.

[Mike Caruso]

Good luck on your runs.
I'll be getting in late Friday night. We'll meet next time.

[Terry Keeley]

FAST member Mike Nowicki & I got the site all set up today, Mikey Ross stopped by after work. Mark Stein had to worrk too and will be here in the morning.

Weather doesn't look bad, might get some showers but no hurricane winds.

See ya in the morning!

[Doug Smock]

Good luck fellas!!

[Chilli]

Hope the weather holds off for you all. Have fun!!

[Terry Keeley]

Bit of a soggy moorning but it's clearing soon, good news is the wind is supposed to stay light.
