I thought this was lost but I found it in the you-tube archives. Sit back and grab a cold one as this video is over an hour long -- 2007 NW Scale Champ Race --- Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur38xQupN9w&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

I was looking back at last years race and found this video of the 1/8 scale final and thought you might like to take a look - I just can't get over how this race has grown over the last eight years. The first year we had a good turnout but nothing like last years 62 scale hydros. I hope all that...

Wow-I can’t believe we are only a week away from the eighth annual NW Scale Hydroplane Championship Race- Al Waters who has CD all of them is packed and ready to come, the lake has been reserved for testing on Friday afternoon and currently the long range weather forecast is promising. The...

Just to put closure to the question of the wing on the Oly Beer boat... I spoke to Billy Schumacher at the San Diego Race and he confirmed that he chose to run the Oly boat at the Dayton race without the wing due to the short course.

Mike- No wings to ship to the NW Scale Race!!!!!! Not to late to get it boxed up Nice boat - How many in the fleet now Marty

scott... just wondering If your hulls fit into the gas scale class - below is a link to our master hull roster for the class. http://www.pnwta.org/editor_upload/File/PNWTA%20Hull%20Roster%20Website.pdf

Mike I will see what I can do. I havent seen it run in a while but I think it's in one piece...

Mike- So far the pickle forks are rear exhaust R-254 with the J/G Hemi top ends and the round nose hulls are running side exhaust motors. A lot of builders are now planning their pickle fork builds with side exhaust motors and are going to do what Phil did with a little hatch to flip up to get...

Below are links to the racing rules and Master Hull Roster we are following in the NW. The rules will be very familiar to scale racers in both IMPBA and NAMBA . The important part to me is that we all build to the same Master Hull Roster dimensions so when boats get sold and parts are...

Phil - Let me know when you have them for sale and I will spread the word- I assume that they will fit Mikes hull kits so with your cowl and Mikes 82u55 hull someone can have a fairly easy build... Heck I might have to add one to my fleet.... :)

Phill - Larry made me a driver with longer arms and a bigger bust and we used the same head. Larry's friend made the life jacket. Most in the NW think it looks scale. Take a look at the link below http://www.pnwta.org/photoalbum.php?gallery=OLY%20Beer%20Boat_1

Hi Phil - looks like Gas Scale is taking off. I get asked on a regular basis who has what cowls for sale. Are you going to be selling cowls for the 82u55. My guess is you would get quite a few orders and so would Mike for the kits. We just had 4 new hulls registered this week in the PNWTA club...

Mark- I would like to help get you qualified to race in the scale class. As a first step please go to the UNW or RCU website and download the scale racing rule book and take the time to study it during the off season - At a race or test session next season a club member will administer the...

Mark- Allowing you to launch boats last year was a mistake on my part - We always want those launching boats to have hands on scale racing experience as things happen very fast when launching and retrieving heavy scale boats. Mark- I do appreciate your passion for the sport but being a...

Mark- You are not banned from attending the race we are just asking out to stay out of the pits. Please keep in mind that the NW Scale Hydroplane Championship race is not a sanctioned NAMBA race like the Nationals. We have racers from NAMBA - IMPBA- APBA come to this race from all over the...

Hi Mike - Hope your doing well- Sorry your not going to be in San Diego I was looking forward to seeing you. Just wanted to let everyone know that the full set of rules for the GAS SCALE HYDRO class are posted on the www.pnwta.org website. We believe we have finalized the motor rules for the...

Hydro Junkie- I wanted to thank you for letting me eat steak this Saturday for dinner instead of some heart healthy meal - please let me explain why. When this thread first started I made a bet with my wife that you wouldn't be able to keep your uninformed opinions to yourself and she said no...
