P Sport Hydro?

If you're thinking about the UL-1, it fits in the LSH class since we allow spec brushless motors.

I have been trying to figure out a way to make this race. Its the right time to make an excape from IL.

Thanks.. not sure I can make it but......

Grim

[D. Newland]

Keep us posted, Grim. FE racing in '09 is going to be right up your alley.

SV 27 can run in LSO. I didn't clarify above and now I can't edit it, but LSO is a spec brushless class just like LSH.

UL-1 can run in LSH.

I've seen a VS-1 tunnel run on P Spec power just a few weeks ago and let's just say I've got some work to do on my TS-2 to try to keep up with it.

Oh, and have Buass get you a spec rigger...

Splendiferous !! Can't wait !! Glad you got McKellips back; a superb pond. I like the class lineup; well thought out & lotsa' bang for the buck.
If anyone that likes FE is worried about attending an, "Omigosh It's an actual Race", not to worry. Show up ; this is a Fun event where everyone is welcomed, encouraged, and is guaranteed a totally "good vibe" time. Trust me on this one.
Will be looking forward to a VS-1 showdown, Mr. McD

[D. Newland]

Dates have been finalized. Mar 13th-15th, 2009. We had a bit of a scheduling conflict so we needed to push out the race 1 more weekend past our target.

If you would like to support our race with either a class sponsorship ($50) or raffle goodies, please let me know! It would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

[properchopper]

[D. Newland]

[D. Newland]

OP updated. Coffee, morning snacks, lunch and drinks will be provided each day.

The class participation looks terrific. For planning purposes, here is the daily schedule plan:

Friday: Open water from 9:00 to 1:00 minus a little time in the morning to get the course/drivers stand set up. We will probably have 5 heats per round, so we'll shoot for rounds to start at 1:00, 2:30 and 4:00. P O/S should be the only class that may have re-charging issues. If so, we will start with that class first, then move it down the class schedule for rounds 2 and 3.

Sat/Sun: Open water from 9:00 to 10:00. We should have 7 heats per round. Round start times at 10:00, 12:30 and 3:00.

We are under a noise ordinance until 9:00 each morning, so the main generator will not be on until then. There will be a smaller generator running before 9:00 if needed, but plan on bringing your cells pre warmed and charged each morning.

If there are any questions, let me know!

Thursday test pond location: Northwest corner of Indian School and Hayden in Scottsdale.
