Wanting to have a race in Folsom

[RandyatBBY]

So SV-27 w/UL-1 power would run LSO? And LSO would be limited to P-Spec motors?

"Current NAMBA LSO rules. Additionally, P-Spec Power Specifications shall apply.

Summary: Any NAMBA LSO legal hull with either 700, SV27, BJ26, Himax or AQ UL1 motor, using NAMBA P-class Power Limits (Power Limits: 10.1 to 15 Volts nominal, any chemistry. Maximum of 2 packs in parallel. Maximum capacity of 10,000 mAh.) Mono, Stepped mono, and Cat hulls are all allowed. Maximum length would be 34”."

That would be correct.

I an sorta thinking about July 17 weekend possibly.

To lessen any apprehension about official NAMBA racing rules, it's important to understand the distinction between an "official" NAMBA points race and a Club race, which the DMWB Trent Hare Classic Folsom race will likely be. NAMBA rules are rather specific, especially in LSO ; appearance, sponsor decals [2], NAMBA reg numbers , cockpit/driver location etc. Also, the number of boats to constitute a heat. If I can speak for my good buddy Randy, I'm sure the intent of this Club race is to get together some new FE'ers and get exposed to the great fun racing can be. The host club [ Devil Mountain Water Boilers] [DMWB] can alter the official rules to suit what shows up; all in the spirit of good fun/racing.
I drove 400 miles up to SF for the last THC a few years ago and only five of us showed up. We still had a blast - I got to hang out in Randy's shop, stayed at Dan Chase's house and enjoyed every minute of the whole weekend.
My advice : Go For It

I am open to the dates I want to see what would work with every one. NAMBA member ship will be required.

Hey Randy...any idea on dates for the event yet? I will be in Folsom mid Aug. visiting my dad (no.... not at the prison...LOL!)

We have a P-spec OPC and an SV-27 w/UL-1 motor. Not sure what class is for the SV-27?

The SV-27 would be best in LSO.

My prior boat building experience consists of changing a prop on a Fastech...

You would be good in P Mono or P Offshore since we do not run P mono.

For the newbies that may attend:
Typically at NAMBA sanctioned races there is a nominal "one-day" membership fee for those that don't have a membership or are unsure that they want to pony up the $40 for a full year-long membership.

Is that how you'll be running it Randy?


cheers,

Yes it a one event fee of $10.00

Yeah, I finally talked him into building another boat. He said you helped him with his last one. I work as the webmaster for his shop.

When do you think you are going to have the race? Are we going to need any memberhsips to any of the boat racing organizations?

Cool, I am not new to racing, but willing to help newbies.

I should talk to the dude in the hobby store in Reno (the big time rock crawler guy) He has always wanted to watch me run.
