Ron,
Do you have that 20 mono back together properly yet?

 

[Norm Doerr]

I see this is a NAMBA D3 High Pointes Race? or is this an IMPBA Sanctioned contest? The classes offered for entry on RC Racing Events are IMPBA classes.

 

[Greg Rowe]

HI Norm ,I made the mistake and Bill us trying to fix it ,but may not be able.
This is a NAMBA D3 High Points Race.
Sorry about the confusion but we are going to move forward as it stands unless Bill works some magic
Thanks Greg

Any chance of adding Q tunnel?

Not yet but will have soon!!!!!

Might be a good time to combine Q/limited and 45 nitro tunnels for a day

 

[obrien]

I’d be happy to get my q limited tunnel racing again

 

[DON MAHER]

Greg,I see you have scheduled your race on the same weekend as the NAMBA nationals, not sure but I think that is a no no?

 

[Ron Drake]

Any chance of adding Q tunnel?

Do you think you can round up 5 contestants?

 

[vision craft boats]

Yes, probably more.

These dates are schedule by the district

Let's go ahead and add the Q tunnel

Maybe the district should review the NAMBA rule book

T

Maybe the district should review the NAMBA rule book

The way I read it in the rule book is, the district director or club requests the sanction (race dates) through the board of directors, the board can approve or disapprove these dates.
I'm sure it was just an oversight by the NAMBA office/board of directors.
I'm sure a district race held on the southwest coast of Florida will not take away too many entries from the NAMBA Nats held in Seaside California.
In my years of model boating, I can only remember one person/family making the trip out west from Florida for the NAMBA Nats.
And I really don't think there's anyone out your way pissed because now they can't make the Brandon race.

There has not been a "NAMBA NATS" for any of us Florida members to attend in well over 10 years that has been within reasonable mileage for a group of us to participate. Most are west of the Mississippi and too far for anything but a well to do boater to attend; We have 330 something Florida Namba 2022 members I believe the largest district in Namba and we have little chance of ever going to a Nationals. So if our local district race upsets a California race 3000 miles away then were in the wrong organization.
