LA SAW Update...

[Doozie870]

38 in lso! thats flying man!! thanks for the update.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Darin big time Darin for all the work you have put info spreading the word!!

I don't want to seem like a jerk from this next statement, but we donated to this event. I will be asking future event runners to forward me info on the event asap, instead of guys like Darin having to go out of their way to have to quote and post the info. But of course we also want to hear from any one that has any info.

I don't see that as asking to much in return for our sponsorship. As far as I'm concerned, if I donate, we all donate. We should be informed of the happenings. In defense of this and past sponsorships, I never asked. So I dropped the ball in that respect. No ones fault but mine here.

I couldn't agree more... Whoever is running this event should have a direct line to guys like Steven and whoever else is supporting the event to provide blow by blow coverage...

Maybe I'll work on getting that to happen as my next trip down the whipping line! :D

[Eodman]

Steven no fault found ---- Thanks for a great site for my son & I to learn this sport from!

For the rest of the people well f*%K em ............ go make trouble elsewhere!

If it weren't for the guys on this site we(Doug & I) wouldn't have a Traxxas, 2 Supervees, 1 Mono hull with a Neu 1515.1D in it and of course the Group 44 Cat!!!!

Thanks Guys!!!!!

I just read that Brian ran a backed up 105mph P-Hydro run, with a one-way pass of 114mph!! HOLY MOLY!!

Wilmer upped the N2-Mono record to 59... (we'll never hear the end of this... Good Job Willie... )

Steve, Mark F is one pooped cookie when I left the lake tonight. He ran around all three days making sure that everything went well, and still managed to set a few records himself. IMO it is pretty pointless for the event organizer to give hourly updates since things change so quickly. How would brandX motor maker feel if he was told at 10AM at his motor held a new record, spread the word to all the people he knew - then find out that at 4PM the record went to brandZ?

I'm certain that Mark will get the info to you as soon as he gets some rest. He deserves a lot of props for his work on this event, which was a bit more challenging than most have been.

Jay I wasn't looking for someone to jump on to the forum. I have been to races and realize the hectic pace and long days. But I will trade phone numbers next time.

It would really be like any other live event. Ups and downs are part of the mix.

The OSE crew may be happy to learn that the motor which set the LSO/SAW record of 42.7 mph was a 700SC! Jim tried several SS-1 motors in his H&M catamaran but found they could not pull the high pitch props needed to run that fast. This mirrors my own experience with both LSH and LSO oval setups, there is no reason to mourn the passing of the SS-1.

Thats great news about the 700SC Steve V. sure deserves it!! Seeing this record makes me love the 700 classes even more. :D

[sjslhill]

Cool stuff, congrats to all the record holders and racers!

Good to hear Jay. I have to give credit where credits do, Chris had the winning formula. I just found something that spec'd close to what he offered.
