I want to say 19 or something like that

**Doby** · 08-25-2015, 09:33 PM

Any pics/results etc.....???

Seems to be almost no interest from the participants to report anything.

doby namba site has pics of the top 3 in each class....although they didn't have enough boats to run most classes seems if only 19 entries it was the smallest turnout in many years

Guys, a "good turnout" is being able to have a race in the first place. Let's not diminish the event or the efforts of those who managed to make the effort by worrying about who wasn't there. Those that were took the challenge and deserve the recognition. It takes a lot of time, a ton of money, and a big effort to put one of these events on, as well as to compete in one.

Darin it may take a bunch of money both for the club and the drivers but if u keep having the event in locations that no one will go to its quit a waste of time for everyone....your 2016 fe nats will probably be like a local race with a few others and might even be the biggest turnout for many years...hope so anyway

I agree, but, conversely, it's hard to get clubs to WANT to host a NATs if nobody makes the effort to go, regardless of where it is. Greely hosts Nitro-Nats all the time...

As for ours... we'll have to see. We could have just our local clubs show up and it would still end up being one of the bigger events in the country. It's a GREAT location and a really fun area... If the Seattle area can't draw a bit of a crowd, then I don't know what will...
