    Thanks for the kind words Terry.

    I see Doug Twaits has entered. It's going to be good to finally meet him.

    Sorry you can't make it John. Try again in July for Atlanta GP.

    No way! I've been saying for a while now that I would like to see Junior and Lamar race together. That will be must see RC in my opinion. Two good guys with mad skills.

    Hey Gang,

    NOTICE: Classes without 3 boats entered by 3/16/17 are subject to being cancelled (refunds will be given if your class does not make the cut). Additional classes may be added in place of those that are cancelled.

    This cancellation policy puts us 30-days out from the registration deadline. That gives anyone already signed up ample time to register for the additional classes and it also gives those classes on the cut line adequate time to round up fellow racers to meet the 3-boat minimum.

    Thanks,
    Lamar

    Hey Gang,

    We have added 4 additional classes to the roster for the 2017 Atlanta Spring Nationals!

    - Open Mono
    - Open Hydro
    - P Sport Hydro
    - Q Mono

    The Open classes are truly OPEN... Gas, Nitro, or Electric... as long as it is an IMPBA legal Mono or Hydro you are covered!

    You can enter the additional classes via www.RCRacingEvents.com (even if you have already entered the race). The first boat fee was waived this year to make adding additional classes easier. Just log-in and sign up, no need to contact me.

    This is going to be a race to remember. We have some heavy hitters coming in from all over the country this year.

    Fun times will be had by all... We appreciate your support!

    Thanks,
    Lamar

    Parts are currently being ordered for the Huff Q Mono contingent!

    I know a guy who lays up a mean 40" hull, but we need some speed controls that won't let the SMOKE out... :-)

    Later,

    The tally is up to 217 boats and counting for the 2017 Atlanta Spring Nationals. We have scratched all classes with less than 3 entries and opened up a few additional spots in some of the classes. Once the current openings are filled the race will be completely SOLD OUT. We will not be opening up any additional heats after today (unless there are additional scratches). Thanks again for your overwhelming support of the event! This is going to be a weekend to remember.

    Thanks,
    Lamar

    We don't wait... When the retrieve boat hits the dock the clock starts for the next heat! This is made crystal clear during the drivers meeting. If you are back-to-back, bring both boats to the pits when you come down.

    People usually start paying more attention once they miss a heat or two. :)

    Thanks,
    Lamar

    Hi Lamar,

    What is the format going to be for the Offshore Classes? 6 laps on the offshore course? 8 laps on the offshore course? or 4 min with lap counting on the Offshore course?

    Hey Tom,

    Lamar is on vacation with his family. The last we spoke about this it was going to be a six lap heats to keep things moving along. Besides, the score keepers dislike the lap thing, it messes with their rhythm.lol

    Counting down fellas. We'll be working on the site this weekend.

    Thanks Doug.

    I think that most of the electric guys running Offshore are accustomed to NAMBA 4 min heats. Most will make some changes to their setups if they are running 6 laps instead of 4 min. Just thought I'd bring it up now so you wouldn't get as much whining " nobody told us" at the race ....

    Thank you Tom.
    At 233 boats currently we're going to have to keep this race moving. By the time we stop, score everyone, and get the boats in, we could be well into the next heat. Tune em to run six on the full offshore course.
