2018 Namba Lone Star Nationals - Oct. 20th to Oct. 27th

[oscarel]

The 2018 NAMBA Lone Star Nationals will be hosted by the Dallas RC Thunderboats from Oct. 20th to Oct. 27th! We have a great race site at McInnish Park in Carrollton, TX. This Nationals event will follow the previous year's format by offering gas, nitro and electric classes.

Our race site is located approx. 15 miles from Dallas Love Field airport and 13 miles from DFW airport. Six Flags, ATT stadium and downtown Dallas are all within 25 miles, downtown Ft. Worth is approx 35 miles and Winstar Casino is 65 miles. The Texas State Fair will also be open until Oct. 21st and there is a DART train station located 3 miles that will drop you off right at the entrance gates.

Since we are located in a city park, the City will be allowing us to use 2 large parking lots for RV's, but you must be self contained. For those that are not self contained, Sandy Lake RV park is within 1 mile of the park.

Three of the fastest growing classes in District 7 will also be offered as exhibition classes, Sportsman Mono, Gas Outboard Tunnel and LoneStar Enduro. Electric 1/8th Scale Unlimited Hydroplane is also a fast growing class and will be offered following NAMBA rules.

Round 2 will be set by how you finished in round 1
Round 3 will be set by how you finished in round 2
Round 4 will be set by how you finished in round 3
