Just an FYI to the group. World class tunnel racers Mic and Jay Halbraeder are starting up a new IMPBA club down in Lee County. Mic posted this on IW.

[ron1950]

you off to Colorado again?

Hi all, sorry I have been out of the club the last couple of months while I had Scott build my new P-class boat and took some well needed vacation rest (been 4 years since my last one). I am out of Cryosleep now would like to help with the club in anyway I can. Just caught up with the club thread, seems allot has been going on since the move to Bennett and Manatee county not playing ball. Chris you have been real trooper taking over as our our fearless leader

[Impulse31]

Scott, awesome job on the boat! Can't wait to run it!

Looks good Paul, and thank you I'm tryin'.

[flraptor07]

BTW guys Marcus did call me back but I missed his call, we've been playin' phone tag. But it sounds like what I thought, the grounds people at Bennett don't know what the deal is with us running there so it's just a matter of getting them cordinated with Marcus and Alan at County Parks and Recreation. We're fine at Bennett, just a little hiccup..

[Impulse31]

Guys in-case Manatee County does not want to play nice with Bennett. And this may be a far fetched idea or a long-shot but has anyone considered talking to the folks at Nathan Benderson Park about letting our club use any one of many small lakes near the University Town Center?

[Impulse31]

Good to here that it was just a hicup.

They want nothing to do with anybody but row boaters, I'm sure you could go run there but nothing organized. It's Sarasota County just like Ackerman.

Im a bit confused as always. When are we running next.

Hey Chris I just replaced the BBY hydro with an Insane FE30. Go fast is back. Also I just bought a Aeromarine Jersey Skiff. Does anyone else have one of these. I saw an old video from Ackerman of someone running one.

[bill34207]

I think that was Ron with the skiff

[bill34207]

Just for a little filler and entertainment value. The first ever video of my Boomerang Nano with me at the controls (shot yesterday)

[RayR]

Very nice Bill, did a Facebook "Like" on it!

[bill34207]

Thanks Ray.

Putting this out there just in case...
Anyone want to buy a good high quality video camera at about (less than) half price?
I've been looking at a Sony HDR-CX900 (even had in my cart) but hate to buy it not knowing what I'd do with the DEV3 (binocular)

$500 cash local pickup. Complete with the Plano hard case, 16 gig card, battery, charger, manual, etc. (I probably still have the box it came in too but will have to look)

[flraptor07]

I'm back!

[HRC]

[ron1950]

I finally talked with Marcus yesterday, He said he was going to get with the head grounds guy at Bennett and see what's going on. He's supose to get back with me as soon as he can but it doesn't look like it will be before the weekend. So we're not running this weekend plus it doesn't look like the weather is going to coopperate anyway. I'll let you guys know as soon as I know something.

Yes I am installing a Proboat 1800 spare I have for my Blackjack29. I hear these things are a blast to drive. I ran a Gas Crackerjack when I was running Gas boats. They are not the fastest but without a doubt the most fun to drive.
