Hey Everyone,
Finally after all the meetings, forum replies, and dozens of phone calls,
we "The Wave Blasters of Florida" are now ready to officially announce the dates for the 2011 FE Nationals.
The Race will be held;
June 1st - 5th , Wednesday thru Sunday with Wednesday being the practice day.
Please do not beat us up about the dates as this was difficult enough trying to canvas the country to find the best
possible dates taking all suggestions and criticisms into consideration.
We have gotten these dates approved by the NAMBA board who checked additionally with all the District directors
and there were no objections.
Obviously there are dozens of issues that our club will deciding on in the weeks to follow. Be patient with your
questions, as we do expect there will be many. We will try to answer all of them in time.
Preliminarily we have discussed the classes and we plan to run everything requested as long as we get enough
boats to make it a class. That number still to be determined, but will most likely be either a 3 or 4 boat minimum.
We have contacted ME Time RC and hopefully we will have this event either live on the internet or at least filmed
and available on DVD.
As mentioned there are many details yet to be decided on ie; entry fees, sponsorships, race schedules, etc. we
will announce them as these details are decided on. We are all pretty excited about hosting our first Nationals,
hopefully we will have a record attendance too. By making this announcement our hope is that you can start
making your travel plans.
The following is a list of our board of directors, they are all good people and along with plenty of outside help we
all intend to make this a great and really special event.
Bill Plevik, Terry Cowger, Bud Johansen, Rick Workman, Mackey Rogers, & Ken Haines
From all of the Wave Blasters members,
we hope to see all of you in Ft Pierce, Florida at the event.
More details to follow !!
Thanks,
Ken
