Wave Blasters Race and Test & Tune Schedule?

[Ballpeen]

Does anyone know the Wave Blasters schedule? I'd like to go check them out but would hate to drive over an hour for naught.

[Ken Haines]

Hi Dean,
I just spoke to Jeff Shipley and he and a few others plan to attend the "Test and Tune" this Sunday.
They usually meet from about 8 am to 11am. Keep in mind that we have had a lot of rain this week,
but from what I understand they plan on attending. We may not have a full size rescue boat there,
but they have a model tug set-up for the difficult retrievals.
Hope this helped,
enjoy the pond,
and thanks for the inquiries,
Ken

Sounds great, Ken. I will be there

[R.J.S]

Dean,the Wave Blasters do not have any regularly scheduled organized test and tune days.The best we can offer is open water after racing on race days and after 10am on scale boating days.A recovery boat will not be available on non race days,so bring your fishing pole!

Absolutely the best time to come check us out would be a race day.We race every other Sun at 10 am and our next race will be Jan 19.

Scale model boating has use of the pond until 10am on non race days.

I hope this helps you or anyone else planning to travel to check us out.

So what time tomorrow? 8am or 10am?

[R.J.S]

Tomorrow is scale boating until 10am,no FE boats on the pond until 10am.After 10,probably no one will be here.Like I said,it's best to visit on a race day.Next race...Jan 19,2014.

BTW,what is your interest,Scale Boating or FE?

Just trying to save you from a drive for naught!

[R.J.S]

Sun Jan 19 dawned sunny and bright...and 32 degrees...Lets Race!!! And race we did, with most of the regulars showing up,we ran a complete race program.Too much fun to be legal!

Next Sun is scale model boating 'till 10 am,then open FE water.Nothing scheduled and no rescue boat.

Next race Feb 2.

[Ballpeen]

FE.

[rdcracer]

I'd be interested in driving across the state for a race. Can I get on an e-mail list. What classes do you usually run.

[Ballpeen]

RDC,

I Just joined the club this past week and attended my 1st race Sunday as well. From what I recall, they had a stock SV27 class, a modified SV27, a stock Revolt 30, a modified Revolt 30 And some offshore class. Maybe p- limited offshore. May have been others but I don't recall.

[rdcracer]

Thanks for the reply. I need to follow the post and plan a trip over to race.

[R.J.S]

I see the rcracing site has the spring shootout listed but doesent let u into regester......

[Ken Haines]

Hey Guys,
Had a small problem with the sign-up site, but thanks
to Fred Siewart it is now all up and running.

So go to:
www.RCRacingEvents.com
and sign up as soon as you can for our annual race.
See the attached Flyer and also the RCRacing events
on Line Race Entry tab for all the details.
Hope to see a good crowd again this year.
Thanks, Ken

Here is the actual live link:

I just tried to sign up and the site is not adding up the dollar amount for the number of races I entered correctly. I'll check back later.

[ron1950]

day 2 isn't working at all for me

[Ken Haines]

Made some corrections....
Both days are now working.
Seems as though very slight deviations lock the program up.
We also changed the first boat / registration fee to $5 additional
dollars rather than $10. Having this posted as a 2 separate day event
would cause that charge to be $20 total instead of the $10 as it has been for the past years. So making it $10 per day remedies this problem.
We have posted it as 2 separate 1 day events to keep the heat sheets better for each day. It makes sense if you were there the past couple of years when the 2nd round heat numbers jump all over the place.
Let me know if anyone has any additional problems,
Thanks,
Ken
