Just wanted to give a shout out to Tom! Great job getting all the heat sheets ready on Sunday. RCRacingEvents let us down, but everything still went smooth thanks to you! A lot of last minute organization and planning there.

I hope this works...
The link below should take you to a web site that has several hi resolution pictures from yesterdays race. I know some of the pictures are out of focus, but I am very amateur with this camera. I am also sorry if I didn't get a shot of everyone boats. It's tough to get out there every race. Please let me know if the link doesn't work.

Thanks. I just like to see the races go off smoothly and try my best to get this done. I want to thank all the racers for doing a great job. Also want to send out a big Thanks to everyone that helped with set up and tear down. That is such a big help in getting things done.
Mike the link works fine and thanks for the pictures they look great.

Caution: Does not play well with others!
Yes, thanks Tom. Dedication. Shows buddy.
You guys know how weird I am about having fun...................DID! Finished one dang'd heat. Still had fun. My old friend Dan came out and appears to be completely hooked. Benjo did really well for his first race.
Some thoughts on the season thus far.
I've had a terrible season of racing. Too much experimentation. Mining for gold. The Libero is a hoot but forget about it in traffic. It's just too small. Gonna go back to N2 Sport with that. The Stealth/F16/Lamborgini/Bat boat/Millennium Falcon cat is getting closer. Few more tweaks with the rudder assembly to do and it should be drivable.
Despite my own personal results this has been the best season of racing for me in ages. A TON of fun had, some new faces, some old faces. We've also seen guys that weren't real sure they wanted to race do really well. Guys that thought they were just back pond bashers. I think when we met Pete he was more of "I don't know about racing" kind of guy. The club seems to be doing a good job working together too. With guys filling gaps and such. It ain't perfect. Never is but pretty darned tolerable. So thanks to all of you.
Most satisfying for me has been watching Ty develop into an actual racer. Many of you have played a role in that. Thank you. Sometimes he quotes Junior when he pits for me. It's a little creepy to be honest. "you want to role into the turn, then role back out" I caught myself yesterday telling him "okay, now go hunt them down". I think I can still take him but not for long. He's got all my good boats though so maybe it's already too late.

Mike, Those photos are incredible. I think I see my new avatar in there. Do you do weddings???
Terry - I STILL 'don't know about racing'. I need to get back into making upside down retrieval systems.
I'm going to throw together some dumb stuff for next month just fer fun.

Probably a wood P limited mono and maybe the old Titan for offshore. Maybe some creative gearing.
Was thinking about putting a 1527/.5y in the old lead sled for P sport. It's so rickety though.

I say after our October race we try out that pin in the front bay like we talked about. I really like that idea. Get rid of the hair pin that's in the next county. It's a fun to drive it but it costs us at least an hour a day. Freddy would put it on the other side of the road if there was water.
Dan, glad you had fun. Being border line insane to begin with helps. I knew you would fit right in. haha With this gang there can be an overwhelming load of information to absorb. You don't have to know it all right away. We'll keep you out of trouble.............fer now. Muhahahaha Let me know if you need help putting that new mono together.
Maybe I'll put an Alley cat together for next month. Found one un-joined in the basement. I own more crap......
