I was hoping to get some more Michigan guys interested in this one. It will be a tough sell with only one limited class.

[Terry Keeley]

Ooooops! I'm still a little FE Class "challenged" at times.

P Limited Sport Hydro, P Limited Catamaran, P Limited Mono all added, I see P Catamaran isn't that popular so I dropped it.

P Limited rules will run as per the NAMBA Rulebook, namely:

d. P-Limited Approved Motors
i) The motors shall be used as shipped from the manufacturer, with the
exception of creating a drive shaft flat spot, adding water cooling, and
allowing the motor to be connected to the ESC by any means.

Question for our contest director.

There are a number of us that are considering bringing our FE scales out for some fun but at least two of them don't quite fit the FE scale unlimited rules for IMPBA. We just got done dancing with them at the Cup. If we contact each other and are at piece with the short comings can we still run them? Sure was fun despite them not really being exact.

Not sure exactly what the ruling would be on that, at first glance I would say if everyone that ran the class agreed to allow (not protest) the questionable boats I'd say why not. I do however know that under an IMPBA sanction any changes to the rules must be advertised on the flyer, and since the flyer has been published for months we can't really do that.

What exactly are the "shortcomings"?

[T.S.Davis]

I gotcha. We'll discuss it amongst ourselves.

[Terry Keeley]

Just had a chat with jaike5 and between the two of us we came up with a solution.

"T Sport hydro" is now added, you can enter them all in there w/o having to conform to the IMPBA "Scale FE Unlimited Hydro" rules.

[madmikepags]

Hey Terry I registered yesterday for the race and realized today that the 6th is my daughter Nina's birthday and I wont be able to attend. Sorry please delete my entries from the rcracingevents website. I'm really bummed I'm gonna miss this one again.

That works for us and takes you guys off the hook.

Bummer. Hope you can make it one of these years, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

That works for us and takes you guys off the hook.

"There are no problems, only solutions"...

[Randy Rapedius]

FE classes filling up nicely. P Sport Hydro is leading with 11 entries so far.

[jaike5]

I think you should jump in that class and broaden your horizons !!! race on

[T.S.Davis]

If mine pans out I'll be adding to the P sportage too. Should know for sure in a week or so.

Booked a room at the Quality Inn there in Hamilton if anyone wanted to know where the cool guys were staying.

[T.S.Davis]

I just noticed. FE is at 38% of the entries so far.

I'm working over two more of our guys to come along. (gonna try guilt next)

Where the heck are Mister Einstein and Mister Adams? No dedication I tell ya. (see that was shaming)

Then if we can get the Vacarro family on board we might make 50%. Come on Steve! You know you enjoyed playing toy boats. (appeal to the inner child)

Just try'n to help Randy.

[jaike5]

He plays with himself on a puddle near his house, won't come and play boats cause he's got his shorts in a not over something or other. If they didn't like me I'd come just to be a pain in the ass, like I do at the Michigan cup !!

[Randy Rapedius]

I think you should jump in that class and broaden your horizons !!! race on

You never know ...

[Randy Rapedius]

123 boats registered so far. Nice mix of FE, Gas and Nitro. It's going to be a good one!

[Terry Keeley]

If you plan on camping at the park please reserve with Kelsie at 905-643-2103 and mention "Model Boat Race".

Rates are $44 + 13%HST = $49.72/night, you have access to all the park's facilities and do not pay the daily admission fee. Great family value!

[T.S.Davis]

Wed is August 3rd buddy. We knew whatcha meant. Git off the fence and git er done.

[jaike5]

LOL, I think TK is in a funk with the request for 1/10th scale, couldn't wrap his head around so many FE boats, and then a class turning left pressure is on , with team USA making a clear run for the CanAm cup....... good luck men. Going to be a great race with Nitro/FE/Gas fuel classes represented.

Race On .

[Terry Keeley]

lol! Yup, Wed the 3rd. The race is still Sat. & Sun!

[Randy Rapedius]

Did we mention that Team Canada has won 2 years straight?
