7 records set from the Huntsville August Records Trial

[bzubee]

One boat re-kitted by stuffing at over 90+mph. Doug Smock T Mono he and his Super Pit man ED found all of his monos pieces but I do not think they will be able to put it together again. Sort of like Humpty Dumpty that egg is broke!

Here is a clip from one of the many passes Doug made this weekend. http://home.hiwaay.net/~wintrak/RC/2/MVI_0274.mp4

He made many 90+ passes, had one at 97+ MPH but could not get the opposite run to get the new record.

Doug's boat was on fire this weekend...

Wait I think he mentioned something about not using that term with FE

I'd like to send a sincere thanks to the Huntsville model boaters for such an A+ event . Bill, David, Paul, and everyone else involved in it put on a great event.

Wish we could have been #8 but we were happy. We'll be back soon....

Another thanks to Mr. Equi for supplying is with some 40 shafts and a wealth of knowledge. Pleasure meeting you.

Congrats to D13 representing with a few records between the FE classes. Brad and Doug came with their A game.

Again thanks to everyone involved, can't wait to make it again.

As Mr. Hall said it,

I don't think I have ever agreed with the Atwells on anything,

but I agree with Brandon on the job the HMBC does on their Record Trials.

David, Bill, Paul, Rick and Kim, you guys are class act, put on a great event, and are a blast to be around. John, it was good to hang out with you again.

The Atwells.........

...........love you guys!! I hope you're hooked and have better luck next time.

Shane it was nice to meet you. Hope to see you at the races!

I'll see you guys in October! Hope to have a T Mono ready to do it again, well maybe not exactly!

Thanks again everyone!

Doug

We appreciate all you guys bringing your boats out in 95 degree and 90+ humidity weather to play boats. I think the Atwells found out how tough it is to go for a nitro record in the summer. Mitch yall get your new props worked out you should be able to push the record this winter. Yall made a few laps where the boat looked really good. It makes a huge difference when you are not trying to burn water.
