2014 Herb Stewart Challange - Round III

[Kris Flynn]

Entry's have doubled, 50 boats now! How about it northerner's? The weather should still be in the 80's, it would be a good break from the cold.

WOW

 

[HTV Boats]

Well what a difference a couple days make! We should have a couple more boats coming from down here. I know the program for RCracingevents has a simple preset for the number of boats and B sport and B mod are just about to the 16 boat limit. Some other classes may not make the 3 boat cut so can we open up the limits on the "B" classes. Could have 3 heats in each very easily. This is not a large event that needs to limit any classes.

Race entry stil won't work for me. Under organization, the only choice is namba. Tried choosing it, just to get entered, no go without namba id #. Now, this morning, "stock"/sport b tunnel has filled since yesterday. I can't go if i can't enter, & i DAMN sure ain't driving 2600 miles to run just 2 classes......this filling up while i can't enter won't fly!!!

 

[Mike Culhane]

All taken care of. Anything else Robin you GF'er?

 

[moparbarn]

Yeah, get me in b"stock"/sport tunnel, ya GF'er (bakatcha).

 

[moparbarn]

Ok, i see you opened up more entries in b "stock"/sport, thanx. But you're still a GF'er!! Nobody down there in the self appointed "center of rc ob's" runs ob rigger??? Ya'll scared of truly fast ob's.........

 

[Kris Flynn]

I want to see that bad boy run in OPEN Robin!

I'll gladly run it in open, but it's not a tunnel.....not by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[vision craft boats]

57 and counting GF'ers

 

[Kris Flynn]

60 now!

So happy to see SOME of the biggest bench racers in the USA come to play at this event...SOME do not want the crown to be actually put on their head so they do not want to show their face. O WELL i say, more fun for us to have

What sort of crown are we going to put on the best performers head this year? IE best over 2-3 classes?

IE 15 boats in the class and you win, you get 15 points, second in this class gets you 14

Trophy for the most DNF's? (Jeff used to be a shoe in for this one aparently, but not this year

)

Kris,Looks to me like you chase both points and trophies after all.....lol

Nope, just drumming up some more interest...it would be silly to think I could win in the home of fast outboards on my first visit down there. Way more to racing than just sitting out in lane 10 going round and round.

Everyone enjoys the battle in a different way and that is what makes it fun. Different strategies and all...

All I really care about is make sure I beat Brad on foreign soil

Oh and getting one up on a few people in at least 1 race

Haha, you just might get lucky.

 

[vision craft boats]

73 boats!!!! That's what I'm talking about. It's going to be a awesome race. So who's in for Halloscream?

 

[Kris Flynn]

is it an all evening thing Shawn? Or just a few hours?

Is it a theme park of some sort converted to haunted houses and such?

There are some great racers entered from all over the southern east coast now

going to be an absolute BLAST!!

 

[Robert Pickard]

Kris that is at Busch Gardens

 

[vision craft boats]

Busch Gardens is a big amusement park with a bunch of roller coasters and alot of animals, but this time of year after dark everything is set up to scare the piss out of you. They usually have eight or so big buildings set up with different themes of horror, and you have to walk thru it. The walk ways between houses also have different scare zones. And all the rides are still running. It will take up the whole night.

 

[Kris Flynn]

Looks like race central will be Hampton Inn Tampa/Brandon hotel

 

[Robert Pickard]

I always stay at La Quinta close to everything and nice breakfast it is on 60 and falkenberg

 

[TUNLBOTR]

Nobody else said it- so I will.

Happy Birthday JJ (Sidewinder) Johnson- See ya at the lake in November
