I am going to go up to Brandon on Saturday as well. Haven't seen Smock in ages. They will have some amazing scales in attendance.

What time are you going up there Ray

Sweet! It will be great to see you Ray! Looking forward to meeting some new folks as well.

My intention is to try to stay out of trouble with Rick's boats and have some fun!
Kind of looking forward to having Jerry Crowther, Tom Foley & co. hand me my butt in F Mono, I've never raced the class! May or may not have a shot at Scale & Sport 40, but gonna have fun trying!

See you guys at the pond!!

I wish I was gonna be here, I'd go on Saturday. But I'll be on the flight to Denver, then a rental car to Florissant. It was 11deg. there yesterday morning with almost 4ft of snow on the ground!!

I hope Brandon is better sheltered from the winds than Ackerman is. It may be more about surviving than racing otherwise. http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/laun...=KSRQ&state=FL

I plan on being there, with a guest.

Bill - I hope it looks better for us on Sunday.

Hey Bill,

Man I hope that isn't the case. I've never been to this pond so I don't know what to expect.

Larry, looking forward to meeting you.

Guys,

The folks running the Atlanta Spring Nats have now opened up a couple more classes for electric. P-Mono, P-Ltd Sport Hydro and the Open Offshore classes.

The Brandon pond is much better protected than Ackerman, but with 25mph winds, even that pond is going to be nasty.

I just checked again and it shows dropping off to around 9 mph at 1:00 AM Sunday morning. That's as far as the chert goes right now.

[rdcracer]

Their pond is north- south and pretty much protected from wind on all sides. Ive raced there when it was blowing pretty good and it stays drivable.

[RayR]

What time are you going up there Ray

Rich,

I was planning to get there around 10:00.

[RCKong]

The weather doesn't look too bad for Sun. It'll be chilly with wind 5 to 10 mph until afternoon. http://www.wunderground.com/weather-...:34230.1.99999

[rdcracer]

Ok Ray I was planning on getting there about 8:00. I will probably be hanging out with Rod Hedricks and The Guys from the Tampa club. See ya there.

[bill34207]

The aviation site pretty much agrees Brian. Sunday is looking totally do-able. I'm hoping I'll have time to prep and charge packs for at least one boat (gotta make a trip to Lakeland on Saturday) but will be there to socialize regardless.
Let's see... where did I put my thermals....

[TRUCKPULL]

Sun. morning says 4 to 7 mph. from 7:00 AM to noon

Looks OK
