Very nice. There is a small possibility I can make it.

[Doug Smock]

We'd love to have ya Ray. It's no problem getting you on the stand.

[ray schrauwen]

I saw that too, very wheelchair friendly. If the GF is up for it we can do it but, we won't know until late feb.

I wonder if Larry Jaques might plan for this? aka Truckpull...

[Chilli]

Tell Lamar we appreciate him offering the FE Classes..... and I'm sure you also had a little something to do with it. You already know I can't make it due to family obligations. Hope you have a great turn out!!

It would be great if you and Larry could make it. Ray R. is going to check with the West Florida Model Boat Club and see if there is any interest.

We're going to miss you and John, Chilli.

Doug, if I run down will you carry me up onto the stand? I don't need help. Just wanted you to carry me.

LOL Depends, what do you weigh? Remember I just had knee surgery. How do you feel about piggyback?

[T.S.Davis]

1 metric ton........it's all muscle though.

Where is the flyer Doug?

[Todd Fleury]

I don't sign up for anything without a flyer.

[T.S.Davis]

FE classes P Mono and P Limited O/B Tunnel.

FE 1/8 Scale will run with the 60 Scales. See race flyer for details.

......and P Limited Sport and P limited offshore or mono. Just say'n.

Offshore might make the fuel guys heads explode.

4 FE classes plus some scales would make it more inviting.

Hey fellas,

The Atlanta Model Boaters President and District 13 FE Director have agreed to lift the Limited class ESC restrictions for this race.

Note: P Limited O/B Tunnel has been removed and P Limited Sport Hydro has been added.

P Limited O/B Tunnels or any legal IMPBA O/B Tunnel can run in the Open Tunnel class.

Any legal IMPBA Mono or Catamaran can run in Open Offshore. ( This is not a timed event. This is milling on the oval course and 6 laps on the offshore course.)

I have no idea how long it takes to complete this offshore course as I never run it other than messing around with my gas boats. I'll be happy to gather that info if needed.
It may be important to note that the IMPBA doesn't have capacity limits. Meet the IMPBA FE class requirements for length and max weight of 25#s RTR.

There are typically Nitro and or Gas classes that don't make the five boat minimum. If that is the case this year I will poll those already entered near the deadline for entry (April 5th) and see what class(s) you are interested in running, and we can fill.

Thanks for the interest!

Doug & the AMB

Hey fellas,

P Limited Hydro and P Limited O/B Tunnel have just been opened up.

We'd love to have some of you guys come race with us!

Doug

[T.S.Davis]

You're up to 4 classes I can run now. Sweet!

[T.S.Davis]

Doug, is there open water Friday and did you ever get a best guess on run time for that psychotic offshore course?

[Doug Smock]

Hi Terry,

There will be uncontrolled open water Thursday after 5pm., and controlled open water all day Friday.

I haven't timed the offshore but discussed it with the club president. We are estimating around 5 minutes or so is what it's taking the gas boats. Figure low to mid 50s for speed in the straightaways.

Doug, is there a smartest hotel to stay at for this? Gotta get my poop in a group if I'm coming down.

[Ken Haines]

Doug, is there a smartest hotel to stay at for this? Gotta get my poop in a group if I'm coming down.

Well of course ...."Holiday Inn Express"


Sure wish I could make this race

Hey Terry,

Sondra and I have stayed here a couple of times. The place has been clean, safe, & quiet. http://www.reservation-desk.com/hote...5-3f9a7bf299e8

Some folks stay in Peachtree City. It is a little farther from the pond but has more to offer restaurant wise. Let me find out where the "smartest hotel" is there for you. I would rather you have a choice than go on my recommendation. Don't want to hear it.

[Doug Smock]

Peachtree City. This is probably the better of the two Terry.

Hi Doug, rcracingevents.com has been down the last few days and I would like to sign up for P Mono, LSH and Open offshore. I am part of MMEU and will be coming there with Terry. I look forward to going to Atlanta and racing.

[Doug Smock]

Hi Thomas,
Really glad you guys are coming. I'm looking forward to meeting you guys.
I spoke with Bill Britton earlier in the week and he was confident that the site would be back up shortly. (They are replacing phone poles) If that doesn't happen for what ever reason we'll switch to plan B. The race will be held even if we (Lamar) has to print off heat sheets Fri.
One of us will post here when we know more.

Thank you sir!

[T.S.Davis]

Haha. Write it down with crayons.

Scrawl out a spot for me too. P limited hydro, p limited sport, p mono. If you need numbers I'll bring the tunnel and put it back together in the hotel.

[T.S.Davis]

I'll watch for the site to come back up and do it that way when possible.
