NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

[sailr]

Will the Brandon race offer electric classes? I really don't want to do the ONE 'open' class again. Sit around all day/weekend for a few heats. Thoughts?

[obrien]

Will will have to talk with them. Usually they will allow us to run a class as long as we have alteast 3 boats in the class. I will see if I can get ahold of someone to find out.

[hebner]

I agree with Jim, not worth my time for one class.

[obrien]

I spoke with Don Riek of the Brandon club, and he is willing to let us run 3 classes if we can show enough support. Basically we need to get as many boats as possible to run each class to make it worth while. He willing to drop a small gas class with only a couple of boats if we can make a good showing.

I suggest p-mono, LSH, and a spec class that we can get the SV's, cats, and other v bottoms to run in. Let me know what you guys think.

[hebner]

I could go for that P-Mono, LSH and in open class my Spec Tunnel, would be nice to finalize details in next couple days so we can get our on line race entrys into the Brandon club this week.

[obrien]

I spoke with Jim, Mike, and Hugh tonight. I left Ray a message. Hopefully we can get Rick and his buddy (sorry can't remember his name right now) to join in the Spec open class with their SV's. I left Ray a message so hopefully I will hear back from him soon. IT would be great to have 5 or so boats per class, which will be no problem in LSH. Mike will hopefully know later this week if he can make it.

Would be a shame if we can't field 3 OPC boats at the "Herb Stewart Memorial" race. I can put mine together, it won't be competitive, but I can round out the class if necessary.

I'll do P-Mono and P-Spec Sport Hydro (psuedo LSH).

I will start a thread for this race both here and on RumRunner.

Remember, this is a D3 race. Radio Impound! No Parking at the tent, etc.

Count me in for LSH, the open class with my spec cat. Not sure about my P mono. Got problems with it. If I can get it fixed, count me in for that class as well. I'm working on an OPC spec boat. Not sure it will be ready in time.

I can only make it if they allow me to park my van in what has always been the handicapped area. Last time I was there, they ran me off even though I had a handicap tag. I was parked next to Herb!

[sailr]

I just went to rcracingevents.com. they only have OPEN ELECTRIC so I paid three times as I intend to enter three classes of electrics. LSH, OPEN (spec cat), and if possible, P mono OR spec OPC

[sailr]

We need to get rid of the extraneous other thread.

[sailr]

I'm working on a tunnel now. Hope to be able to run it.

I wouldn't pay yet, until we are going to do for sure.

[sailr]

I already paid. I just talked to the webmaster. He has set up LSH spec Hydro, P electric Mono, Open electric, and OPC electric tunnel so you can sign up.

Come on guys, let's do it. It is the Herb Stewart memorial race!

[obrien]

Is Don going to let us run 4 classes? I don't want to get ahead of ourselves here. Lets get a confirmation on who can run and what classes we would like to run before we carried away. I will call Don tomorrow to see how many boats we can run per heat.
