Thank you Dick (you're the man!) and Carol (mmm...cookies) and everyone else who made the race happen! Even though I scratched out on B-Hydro (after my mishap with poor Chuck's UL-1....sorry Chuck... ) and also scratched in B-Mono (mystery smoke on friday's run), I still had a great time just hanging out, pitting and meeting a bunch of people. Mike L. ...your tunnels are outstanding and you did beautiful work on your 1/8 scaler!!! Congrats on the best of show award!! You are very cool and it was a pleasure to meet you as well as Doug Smock (thank you for helping me with the Mono), Paul Rollins,Tim Jones, Kentley Porter (smokin' fast...****!) and the rest of the VA. FE gang!!!

I still like watching Don Ferrette and John Finch run...very fast stuff guys!!

I loved seeing the rudder stuck into Carol's cowling...that just does not always happen...LOL! :lol:

Chilli...What can I say...you are my Bro!

5 hour trip to Chesapeake = Priceless!

Anyone on Facebook, the ODMBA fan page is/has been under construction - I work on it as I have time however I did post a bunch of pics I took over the weekend if you are interested. I do post the newsletter on there and am getting some IT help on posting scores and such.

Had a blast - seeing electrics was a first for me that was so cool! Tommy had a great time as well. Hope to see you all next year! Christi

It was great seeing the future of model boat racing with all the electric stuff. I still think the electric boats need a baseball card on the prop to help with the motor sounds.

It was great meeting all you electric guys. Putting faces to names is always good. Even better when the faces have a good sense of humor. Hope to run into you guys again soon!

The electric boats are fast, but I have to agree John, you need noise. The sound of the engines gets my blood pumpin'! :lol: :lol: :lol: Carol

 

[Don Ferrette]

Wow, we sure lucked out on the weather, low to mid 80's for 3 days and now it's darn near 100 here in Virginia. :blink: I really enjoyed watching the FE boats and even though I was already in the planning stage of my first FE it really "amped up" my motivation to get my FE rigger done even sooner, hopefully before the boats get put up for the season. Was really glad to see Anthony Black and his sons Josh and Alex make the trip up again, always fun to hang with them. And Doug Smock, dude it was a blast as we now even have a new phrase for talkin' trash- "SmockSmack". :lol: Look forward to seeing everyone in Hagerstown for the last D12 points race but for now it's time to get ready for the IndyMasters in Hobart.

[Mike Luszcz]

I really appreciate all the kind words from the guys that posted above. The feelings are mutual! You don't know how much it means it me to be accepted by people that do what I have come to enjoy and love. Being around you guys, learning from your experience and hearing about your past; weather its racing, woodworking, machining, etc. it makes me a better person, and that is all I can ask for! I have had more fun and learned more the last 3 years than the 10 years I built performance cars. Hope to see yall again soon! Mike

 

[Ray Sametz]

A big thanks to the young lady that took the photos and sold the DVD's. Wow 3500 great pics for 5 bucks. Sorry I didn't get your name, but you were under our tent for a while shooting pics. Thanks again, ==={}

 

[rigger champ]

Man - what a fun time that was - as always. Dick - thanks for letting me rape your trailer for wheel bearing parts. Made it home without any further issues. Wouldn't have happened without your generous "donation". The boys never even made it to school on Monday. At least their priorities are in the right place! Good to see all of you again. Ant

 

[Doug Smock]

Ok so tell me. What's the best thing to use to get nitro by products off of a boat.

I'm not sure how many times Kentley lapped my JAE 21 FE P-Limited Hydro over the weekend, (the race is just a blur now) but I figure I must have at least 5 coats on this thing. :huh: :lol:

I'm not even sure I can tape the hatch down.

now you know how the rest of us up here in D-12 feel, doug . btw, denatured alcohol.......

 

[Chilli]

KP's roostertail washed the nitro right off my boat. All you have to do is spray down your hull with a little Simple Green before the heat. We get a district discount.

BTW Doug, After I got home and had a good nights sleep, I calibrated that CC240 to my radio in about two minutes. After spending Friday trying to get that tunnel running right and the Titan 29 fiasco, my brain just wasnt right . On Sunday, every time I smelled nitro fumes while plugging in a pack I thought I was fying another controller. :blink:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[John Knight]

Doug,

Any orange citrus cleaner works very well. BTW, your boat is BEGGING to get nitro as the power fuel. You have FE and gas, maybe one day NITRO!

 

[Doug Smock]

I'll have to make sure I have some Simple Green next year Mike. I'll wait and pick it up there so I get the discount. LOL

John,

The Mrs. had some Orange Clean under the sink, worked great.

Thanks guys!
