Might be poking my head into some 3.5 tunnel tents to see what some setups are. Got my project happening after the winter spec.

Spent about 3 hours wading in lake looking for your boat without any luck. Lake was just low enough to wear waders. When the water gets warm enough to swim in we will have another look.

The only good news is that the lake gods coughed up Darren Laurie's A mono and Andrew Young's C hydro(well the expensive half that sank when it broke in half). Boats had been down since 24th April, but after a spray of contact cleaner all servos are still working. Motors need new bearings and they will be fine. Even the flex shafts are OK.

Some cool racing today....

Lynx wins 1st ever running of A O/B tunnel at the Winter Spectacular with a perfect score and fastest heat time for class.

A Big thanks to MJ for allowing me to drive this awesome little boat, and to Salisbury Power Pipes for sponsoring the class at the event, and to the competitors who made the race what it was! I have won a nationals in this class before, but this event was a sweeter victory than that!

I have to say, the level of racing in the class was just plain awesome. The scores don't really reflect it, but I had to fight hard for the result. Murph and I fought out a few heats, Dion drove really well and pushed me all the way, Greg M drove to his usual high standard on the Sunday (imagine how he would have faired if he could have been there on the Saturday....), Kris was very consistent, as was David Kingston for a nitro rookie!

As for Paul's Nemesis and MJ's Shaman - man they were both seriously fast but it just wasn't their weekend! We are going to have to lift our game if these guys get their boats finishing more heats!

Tim.
