I also wanted to mention that if you are a scale boat fan, this is the race you want to attend. Very similar to the NW Scale championships that were held in the past, the scale turn out will be large. So if you want a good barometer of scale racing, this is going to be it. Just the normal club race we have 6 1/8 nitro, 3 1/8 electric, and 4 G scale heats per round. So bring them on out and lets race.
