well that sucks..80% of my boats are spec
you mean P-limited? This past year we've run a variety of motors and we've found that there isn't a motor that out performs all the others. One of the best motors was the Dynamite 1500. Your "spec" boats (as you call them) are fast enough to compete/beat most boats in the spec classes. I wouldn't worry about the spec motor rules just
Come to Michigan and have fun at the 2018 IMPBA FE Nats

Totally misunderstood the question Ray. Not sure about the rules and titles and such. The BOD did approve the list and the classes were proposed despite the concept being absolutely hated by some.
I get it. "National Champion" of nonexistent classes does smack weird don't it? I'll have to look into that.

Guys, All of the classes offered by the MMEU for the 2018 IMPBA Fast Electric Nationals are "National Championship" classes.
A 36" sail boat class with a maximum sail area of 1.75 square feet would be eligible for "National Championship" if approved by the BOD.
Happy New Year fellas!!

1.75 square feet and 36".....hmmmm
any hull, are hydra foils legal ?
And does it have to resemble an actually
race sail boat like similar to the sport hydra rules ?
Terry, what do you think.....could we figure out
some cheater equipment for this new class that Doug just thought of.....lol

Thank you Chris! You've always been a great supporter or MMEU events. The greatest of appreciations to you and your awesome props.
I will be heading of the the raffle organization this this year, and will be in touch. Thanks for reaching out first. Shows how much you care and give to this hobby.
Have fun with that....
Let the Sign-ups begin .
www.rcracingevents.com
There will be a Friday night Meet and Greet Fish Fry at the Elks Lodge and there is an option to have that as part of your sign up (Just so we can give the people at the Elks a # so they can prepare for it).

Yikes. 87 entries in about 18 hours. Sweet!

Anybody that is planning on coming to this event better sign quick.
With only 10 racers registered to this point.
Some classes are starting to fill up already.
"P" Mono is down to only 4 spots left open.
"Q" Offshore is down to 6 spots left open.

Signed up for Thursday and Friday. Would love to see a few big boat classes either Thursday or Friday. Open Mono Maybe?
I obviously agree with the T-Mono thoughts.......
Just thinking that maybe Q-Hydro will not make the minimum ?
Would it make sense depending on the sign-ups to simply make
that class T-Hydro which in my case is the same boat, but allows
other possible hydro's Q, S, & T to enter to make the class minimum.
Just a thought.....not trying to where you MMEU guys out with this.

Tom and I already talked about when to look at options/shifting. I think it was a couple weeks prior to the race. We'll pin that time frame down. Likely will be dictated by the trophy people. If a class clearly doesn't have the numbers we'll discuss it with the racers and maybe swap something around.
Just to give you guys some number knowledge......
If we sold out every space available the entry count is 300 at this point.
Heat counts with those number would be 57,57,54. Not horrible. We could do more probably but FE guys tend to not be able to go any faster. Well, they can but they wont. hahaha A laid back pace seems to be more enjoyable anyway.
There are classes on each day that I don't personally believe will make. I've been wrong before though. If they don't we'll discuss options.

Why did we have to pick a frequency for the Friday Fish Fry meet and greet? Interference with the deep fryer?

We should all wear aluminum foil deflector beanies (look it up) for the fish fry.

Hey fellas,
I moved the motor discussion to https://forums.offshoreelectrics.com...tor-discussion in order to keep the this thread clean.
Terry, Tom if something changes in regards to the race of course post in this thread.
Any further motor discussion needs to go in the new thread please.
Thanks guys,

What hull will Tyler be running in spec Hydro? The ML kit I'm building?
Hopefully things go well that I make it. I'm prepping to go and going to book the hotel tomorrow.
I'm actually building stuff thiswinter.
If I don't build I'll never come out.
New spec cat is built except for cooling and batt trays.
Last year for my Q sport, maybe. Riggers pack smaller. Should have learned from when Brian mentioned that in 2014.
Building a new charge case etc...
One day and one drop of glue at a time.

Good to hear Ray.
Cheers, Jay.
Ray, Ty's Stealth is still not perfect but really close. A larger factor is that the little turd won't give you any place to run. You have to go around the outside or fergit it. For that you need a bunch o' speed.
