2017 NAMBA Nationals Las Vegas SUPERNATS

[Rokieboater]

Glad to hear you guys are coming on out. I'll still mill slow just to get in your head..... Hahahahahaha

Looking forward to seeing you guys in Vegas.

Was a little bummed out that the trip wasn't going to work out this year but it all came together in the eleventh hour, mailed my registration last week. Not certain of the exact number from D16, but at last count I believe there was 7 or 8 of us making the trip. Can't wait 32 more sleeps! I would expect that over the course of the next week your registrants for Nitro will swell to some healthy levels. No gimmies, going to have to race hard which is the way it should be.

Watch out dudes, the Canadians are on their way!

Oh ya, Robert, we still don't do trolling starts, if you find yourself in the middle of some D16 racers you might want to rethink that strategy, might be a little stressful for you having us blow by you at top speed!!!

Nationals Update !

As of today 91 racers and 499 boats entered with more still coming in....

 

[David Bryant]

Excellent! I would hope this NAMBA "Super NAT's" race can become an annual October event. The Las Vegas location makes it desireable as a "vacation get-away" trip for everyone. Why not?

The entrant list just keeps piling up, so very cool to see a race this size happening. It's going to be some big fun, just imagine when the story telling starts, which will be the most exciting part, the actual racing or the lies we tell about how awesome we were in that last

heat.

Not many sleeps now!
