Thanks, Doug... I signed up, but still not clear on exactly WHICH classes I'll actually run. Best Guess at this piont.

[rightturnonly]

Fred..Will do Thanks..

[rightturnonly]

Fred,
Looks good...hold off on sending my bill until I get the boys signed up...I've got to make sure what classes they'll run first.

Thanks..

200 plus boats in 8 hours. That's .........um......disturbing.

[ray schrauwen]

Would the TFL Popeye's pass for 1/10th scale? I know little about those rules? I mean if it was painted up right? It looks like a scale boat... All left hand turns correct?

[ray schrauwen]

Uh oh... better get on it...

200 plus boats in 8 hours. That's .........um......disturbing.

Ray

1/10 scale is just what it says , so sorry man but the popyes wont pass for a 1/10 but it can run in p-sport. p-limited sport and the hydro classes to

[ray schrauwen]

Yeah, thats a big kettle of fish, I'll stick to the latter.

[Darin Jordan]

200 plus boats in 8 hours. That's .........um......disturbing.

I'm not sure that's as disturbing as looking at your, and Pag's, entry list... HOLY CRAP guys! Pags... are you sure you didn't miss a class somewhere??

I am trying not to do more than 3 a day, and it needs to be stuff that can be shipped fairly easily. Going to be a bit of $$$... But I'm in!! Let's do this!

[T.S.Davis]

250 boat in under 24 hours.......that's...that's...words escape me. (shocking I know) This sucker is 8 months away too.

Darin, really wanna make you head hurt? Take me and PAGS class list and throw in our kids boats too. 13 year old kids aren't building any boats. We're lucky if they can handle plugging in the batteries. Ava is pretty good but Ty can't stand still as along as it takes to start a charger. Many times it went:

"Where is Ty? He's on deck"
"Think I saw him sharking the pool table"
"Somebody go get him please"

I'll likely shift some of my boats over to Fred and make him the victim. Our pits are going to look like a crime scene.

[fas]

I guess it helps when everyone who attended the last two events at this location keep on commenting that its a sweet race site and a very well run event. You Michigan guys should be proud (or scared) of what you have accomplished.

Still don't recall seeing Smocks name anywhere though......wait a minute...I just found him right here:

[DPeterson]

WOW! A Kevin Whitehead sighting. Or is this a different Kevin Whitehead than we raced with 10 years ago?

Doby - your going to get called to the office.

Does early sign up qualify for pit site pick'nz , i'm putting in for right beside the crime scene should be a show all on its own !! lol... just kidding yuh Terry. this is going to be a hoot. I'm pumped and the snow hasn't even started to fly!

Cheers, Jay.

[madmikepags]

I entered everything I have!!!! , the reality is I'm going to drop a few classes but i wanted to assure my spots in classes first. I think I entered 20 classes in reality i will probably run 13 or 14. but between my daughters and I it probably will end up being 25!!!!

Ted, go to www.rcracingevents.com and sign up for each day. Make Dave do it if the site is giving you fits. haha

[D. Newland]

Ted's signed up. I texted back/forth with Kevin back in May. He's still up there.

[RHDWA]

I will be there.

Any chance of opening up more entries for P sport hydro?

Tyler

Tyler,

If more slots don't open, you can have mine... I probably can't compete in this class anyhow...

[ron1950]

hey a question was raised over on intl waters about non namba members and the 10 dollars insurance fee (guess that's what its for) anyway...is it 10 dollars one time for the entire event or each day of the event?

[T.S.Davis]

304 bahaha

The plan is to open up more entries in February if another class won't run due to lack of participation like for instance N1 MONO. Otherwise no. The entry numbers are what they are.

This is going to likely be the biggest race most FE racers will have ever seen. In the states that is. We'll have to limit entries somewhere or it will get out of hand. Fred tells me that on paper we have allowed for 630 bouts PR something.

[T.S.Davis]

Its single "event" insurance.

It is for a one time event. If you want to run another Namba event you must pay the balance of the membership.

THAT'S IT! I currently own three, but now I'm going to build at least one more, just because you brought that up!!

With Wilmer's inevitable "late" entry, you're likely going to be stuck with the class!

However, those of you who think it's like "watching paint dry", haven't seen one lately...

I'm going to make sure that you DO get that opportunity!!

BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA....
