It's really good to see the class growing in Victoria also guys! Great in fact! For a while there it looked like just a Sydney thing - glad it's starting to happen nationally!

Dave Hatcliffe is leading the charge to get it happening again in South Oz - with a little luck the same growth will happen there too.

It will be good to catch up with you all at a race or two in future!

Probably at the Motto - the details are on the entry form. Most of the guys stayed there at the nat's (and had a few beverages in the car park ) About 10 minutes from the pond.

The Molly Morgan is the closest to the pond - but the most expensive usually.

You can probably add 2 or 3 HV local's to that, and maybe once the TS2's start arriving there could be more. The interest is there amoungst some regular racer's.

Mark J can't make it. I'll be running his boat because he asked me to race it for him.

If Chris get's my boat done in time I think I'll be able to find someone to drive it too. That would add another person to the growing list.

Maybe we need some sort of "carrot" to bring out more O/B tunnels for this or another large event - A prize or annual class trophy or something - as long as the host club is happy for that to happen of course.

Tim.

Hi Guys

I agree with all ,was a good day,lots of fun,Paul no worries with the drive was good to watch with plenty of laughs,thanks to both Paul for helping us out and also to Richard for the 50% fuel,did that make a difference should use that more often i think.

Paul you need that Villian of yours out next time as well.

How goods this 21 Tunnel class going cant wait till we all manage to get there together.

Great to see Tim D is coming to join us again in this class good stuff mate.

Gino, do you still have the stock SS, or is it a little modded?

How fast do you think it is going?

I have mine going 44MPH and was stable with a X442 cupped reduced diam...(rod G modded) this still need plenty more testing i think 50MPH with my 'Sport' motor is within sight ;-)

Hi Kris,

No, still running box stock K&B SS. Made some subtle changes to the hull - running sufaces etc, but nothing fancy. Setup has been refined a bit too. Still running Grim 1440.

How fast do I THINK it was going - without speed measuring equipment prefer not to go there. I was very happy with the performance, BUT the HV champs is my next major race, and anything could happen between now and then.

Take care

Gino

Is that all? hehehehe.

Seriously Kris, concentrate on it being reliable and being able to turn in a cross wind without doing anything dumb rather than chasing the magic 50. HV is reasonably well sheltered but the wind usually blows across the course on a wierd angle and can make going around 4 and 5 interesting at times! Mid 40's will be hard to beat if it's very reliable. DNF's and DNS's have a far greater impact at an event like the HV champs.

To finish first, you first have to finish. Gino and Greg know this only too well B)

Hi Guy's,

looks like you all had a lot of fun running on Sunday. I wish I was there!!!!!! I'm sorry that I could not make it along.

I'll bring out the WOF next time and see just how it measures up against the rest <_< . I'm looking foward to next time .

TTYL

Chris

Tim: There will be some huge progress after this weekend with the WOF. I've got a 4 day weekend coming up.

No Hurry / pressure Chris - I can wait.

I do need a cowl - anyone heard from GTR lately or have a spare they would part with?

Tim.

 

[EatMyShortsRacing]

hmmmmm

should I get involved in this?????

I gather that stock outboard is a thing of the past so it is AAG? (almost anything goes)

EMS Racing we dont make mistakes.... we perfect them
