    We finally figured out that Wildthing for Q mono. It's at least driveable now. Looks wet by itself so should be okay with traffic.

    Our P hydro isn't that fast but it's super stable. Who knows though. They always look like snails to me.

    Just an FYI for those of you that aren't IMPBA members (you know who you are), you will have to get single event insurance IF you are a NAMBA member, if not you will have to become an IMPBA member BEFORE you are allowed to run even during Wednesday Open Water that starts at NOON.
    Caution: Does not play well with others!

    Lordy lordy lordy,

    I plan on being there throughout the races, including Wednesday. Not a member of anything, never raced (but would like to get into it, seems like fun, not as boring by yourself)

    So, what would I need to do just to try to maneuver on the course on Wednesday? $$$ just for a try out.

    Here’s what I have:
    Blackjack 29v3 stock (120amp seaking): running 4s 5200mah, 50c

    MC (burned it up trying it out with 8s) and now revamped with 120a seaking esc, sst 2075 motor (plan on running 8s not sure yet) grimracer 42x55 prop b/s. have not been out with it yet

    Zonda stock (120 seaking esc’s and amc 45dia props b/s) not tried it out yet.

    Granted I have not run the MC or the Zonda this year so could not tell you the heat yet.

    Just got out of the hospital with (you may have guessed it: Beryllium copper poisoning, look under my post under “props” about this if you so choose)

    I’m learning by mistakes (costly though)

    John

    I believe to run on Wed. during open Water, you have to be a registered racer for this event.

    You can come out and look around and ask questions, and NO charge Wed. to Sat. $.

    OK Mike, I have a couple of them so you and shooter can smoke em.

    We'll get together one evening. I'll supply the smokes so it's up to you guys to supply the brews. I like IPAs! Shooter had some killer beer last year.

    Guys, don't bring alcohol to the site! That gets the lodge in trouble with the licensing board.

    Does anybody really need that big stupid generator? That is an epic pain in the arse for me to manage.

    I would like to formally apologize to Don Huff....Don, I won't be able to pit/spot for you this year. Unfortunately you will have to put up with whoever else you can find and hope they measure up to the high standards I set a few years ago fo you

    I made the mistake of going into work this morning (should have stayed home) and staffing issues have come up again so I have to drop out

    Owning a business sucks sometimes.

    Now I have to unpack the car

    That's only because you have been building boats for the last week.

    As usual we had a great time at this year’s MI Cup and Nationals, can’t thank Terry, Tom and all the MMEU crew enough for the hospitality and well run event. Sadly, our team didn’t get to stay for the last day, we hope you all have the best of luck in the sweltering conditions.

    Meeting new people and putting faces to forum names was an absolute joy, like minded folks, great personalities, and respected racers that really put a smile on your face watching them run toy boats.

    Mike got some pictures of the winners so far, I’ll share what I have, I’m sure there will be many more once people are off the water and re-hydrated. (can't get them right side up for some reason)

    My son managed to take some video (aged 13) I will post them up, some are better than others and some contain inaccurate comments, some are bias to our team………. But figure you’ll get a flavor for the absolute speed and talent of the guys running. Everyone was giving it their all with some truly epic battles and wipe outs along the way. Sadly the videos do not do justice to the great racing and great after parties/jaw jacking.
