Hey Gang, just a quick word regarding the Nationals Run schedule...
The way it's working, unless someone signs up for a class, the class isn't being slotted into the Day-to-Day Run Schedule.
Bottom line is that the faster you get signed up, the sooner they'll have the run schedule worked out, so please go sign up if you are attending.
Then we'll all get a peak at what days will host what events. :)

There is a calendar on the website that has what is being run on each day? Are we to assume that this calendar is NOT accurate? Please clarify this because if I am going to attend I need to know what is being run on each day. Thanks.
We call ourselves the "Q"
So who on the board is going to come out for the Nat's" Got any new boats that will be debuting?

I haven't officially signed up yet. Been trying to figure out what boats I'll actually have available for the event, but at this point, it's looking like these for sure:
N2-Offshore
P-LTD OPC Tunnel
P-LTD Mono
P-LTD Offshore
P-OPC Tunnel
P-Mono
P-Cat
P-Offshore
Q-Cat
Q-Mono
Q-Offshore
T-Cat
T-Mono
T-Offshore
Some of these depend on where they are slotted in the week. That's my biggest hold-up in finalizing signup is that I need to make some decisions based on where in the week things fall.

And possible t mono
And yes.. Need to see full schedule to see if can race all
Agreed... Need to see if I can even get the time off work during the week.
WERE I a fly on the wall, capable of providing advice that might be considered.... I'd have recommended two very reasonable things:
1) CHOOSE and OFFER a specific list of classes that you are planning on supporting. The rules don't require that ALL classes be offered. Pick those most likely to be run.
2) Put together a full race schedule based at #1
3) IF there are enough requests for some class you may have left OFF the schedule, add it. Most likely it would take the place of a scheduled class that didn't fill up.
Darin E. Jordan - Renton, WA
"Self-proclaimed skill-less leader in the hobby."
Yep, that's the right way.
I would strongly strongly suggest they produce an accurate schedule for this event. For instance, if the first day has no classes for a particular racer that frees up and entire day of travel. Same thing at the end of the race. Or pick a day to site see.
That said, unfortunately I will not be making the trip out there myself. It was our intent to make this a family vacation and spend some time in the area. My wife has a new gig and can't get the time off.
Seattle is truly a beautiful place to visit. So much to do besides toy boats.
Noisy person
I am hoping to race but it all depends on family medical issues if I can race and if I can get my my two boats done so I can get some experience turning right. I may have to just take pictures and maybe run my 1/10th scale.

Well I am registered for one class with possibility of two more classes.

Also we may be lowering the min of boats in a heat from 5 to 4 the class's. But dont let that detour you from singing up in the class you want to run. cause if you sing up now we can get more class's on the site. if you dont see it dont mean we will not run it now. more updates to the site in this week.

A few things from my last trip there:
Space Needle
Pike Street Market
International Fountain
Take a road trip to Paradise loop on Mt. Rainier
OMG.....the food! Eat some muscles!
Things I wanted to do:
Airplane museum
Hydroplane Museum
Boeing tour

I just wanted to chime in, we are going all out for this event. We want to make the 2016 NAMBA FE Nationals one to remember. We would really like to see more out of towners sign-up. We have loads of great sponsors, providing great raffle items, and want to see all serious racers from around the world get in on the fun! Be sure to visit the event site for schedules, and all the information you could want. Come on Y'all, let's go racin!
I signed up on Friday... Not sure I'll actually be ready to RACE all the classes I signed up for, but it's all been bought and paid for, so we'll see... I know a couple probably won't make the event anyhow. May add, may take away. We'll see as the time draws closer. The classes that I'm absolutely prepped for are highlighted in green...
P-LIMITED OPC
P-CAT
P-MONO
Q-MONO
P-OPC
Q-CAT
P-OFFSHORE
Q-OFFSHORE
I also have pretty much ready to race, if I decided I wanted to, the following that I COULD enter:
P-LTD HYDRO
P-LTD MONO
P-LTD OFFSHORE
P-LTD CAT
N2-OFFSHORE
N2-MONO
AND, I could run my Q-Mono or Q-Cat in the T-Classes as well...

Darin, throw your P limited in P offshore. You'll only be off the pace by a 1/4 to a 1/2 a lap. With drivers being the loose canons that we are you could easily place that way.
Noisy person
If I get it finished up in time, I actually have a pretty nice mono I'll be running in P-OFFSHORE.

Or I can run my Twin Cat...

Or.... I could really screw with people, or the rules, and run my OPC Tunnel in Offshore... I think I've found enough precedent...
