The Fall Nationals race has been completed, and wow, what an intense 3 days of racing from all classes. We had the best weather in several years and the competition level was outstanding. The CMB club graciously thanks all racers that came to the race. The Saturday evening meal hosted by the CMB club and Joe Tumbleston, the property owner and CMB member, for all racers and families, along with the huge bonfire was incredible. If you missed this race you missed a truly outstanding race.
The race results are posted to rcracingevents under the Race Results for the Charleston Model Boaters, 2014 Fall Nationals. We offered and ran 26 classes, more than another race offered by any other club.
Of special note is Jerry Crowther of Seaducer Boats. He won the B, D, E & F Mono classes. He also finished 2nd in the Classic Thunderboat and 3rd in the LSG Mono classes. He placed in all 6 classes he entered. A truly dominant performance. In addition he provided a new 20/B Mono for the raffle and the CMB club greatly appreciates his kindness.
The CMB club sponsors a Twin Rigger Shootout Championship as a feature race. It is normally comprised of the top 3 finishers from the Twin Nitro Rigger and the Twin Gas Rigger classes. This year only 1 gas boat was going into the Shootout so we pulled the top 5 from the Nitro class. The qualifiers were:
Don Ferrette, who won the Twin Nitro class
Tom Foley
Larry Beals
Mark Bullard
Charlie Siler, who traveled from Alaska to race
David Showers Sr, with the only gas entry.
Tom Foley won the Shootout Championship for his first time.
Congratulations to all winners and racers.
The CMB will be hosting the IMPBA Nitro Nationals June 24-27, 2015. We will be using the established National Championship format which consists of 4 days of heat racing only followed by a banquet on Saturday evening. 5 rounds are expected to be run. We hope that MANY will be coming to one of the top 2 premier IMPBA National races each year.
