Hey Gang,

The results are in!

Follow this LINK to see results from the 2012 IMPBA Atlanta Model Boaters Spring Nationals!

BIG CONGRATS TO RALPH ALMIROLA FOR WINNING THE 8th ANNUAL SPRING NATS TWIN NITRO SHOOTOUT!!!

The weater forecast was less than promising, but mother nature decided to cooperate and let us RACE!!! Saturday was overcast but quite pleasant. Sunday was a bit cooler and very GUSTY!!! Throttle management was key on Sunday as the the water was quite rough...

Many thanks to everyone in attendance. We sincerely appreciate your support and we hope you had a great time racing with us! Speacial thanks go out to the following individuals. Without these people stepping up to the plate there would not be a race:

  • Norman Morton = CD
  • Doug Smock = CD

Doc scratched his after one heat. He was trying run to many boats and the boat was not working.

Hey Phil,,, How ya been??

Yeh,,, we had 6 sport-40's and 6 scales entered,,, I only got to "race" someone (Mike Costanzo) in one heat of scale,,,

The rest of the weekend was,,, get a start, run a lap & come in... Not the way I like to win,,Believe me,,, I think you know, I'd rather be able to race someone & loose, then rip off a lap & be done.....

Have the new Johnson sport-40 running well,, and this was to be the first opportunity to see how it act's in race conditions,,,

Same thing,,, get a start, finish a lap & come home...

Whatdaya think about applying the pressure to Johnson to go to E-ville in September???
 
Lets, Do SOME MORE OFFSHORE RACING!!!!!!!!!!
We need to either shorten the straightaway leading out to the 1st offshore buoy or put some nitro power under the hood of the Yellow fleet to stop that BLACK DEVIL of yours Mr. Warren!!! :)

Are you guys serious about wanting to run an "Unlimited" class next year? A true "run whatcha' brung" class? So long as it fits within the max weight, length, and cc limits set forth by the IMPBA you can enter the class? Hydros, Cats, Monos, Riggers, Nitro, Gas, & Electric all battling it out for the win?

Later,

Lamar

Lamar yes you should do a unlimited class (race what you brung). Any impba legal boat gas, nitro and electric.

4 rounds of racing that would be awesome to race against all boat classes. It would be great

We are Beginning to race Unlimited Class at other sites, it allows boaters that normally dont race each other to Race and Mingle. It is an Added class. It Does not replace a existing class... example: Sport hydro guys might race against the Black Mono, Or a F Single Boat might race against a Gas Twin. Lots of interesting combos....... it has been well received at other sites.

I'll talk with Doug and Norman and see if they are open to the idea. I for one think it would be a blast!

Perhaps we could do a special award for that class - a nice jacket or something...

Lamar, It lets you race against boaters you normally dont get to race against. And it is interesting the types of boats that are competing together.
