D14 High Points Series

[Samuel Hagan JR]

Hey GUY's and Gal's

I have taken over the D14 High Points Series.

Along with taking home the awesome travelling trophies and the end of the year. I feel in my opinion that you also should receive something to keep for your hard work and dedication to the series and I feel that the 2nd and 3rd place guys and gals, should be rewarded as well. that being said what I got is some really nice trophies for 1-3 in the 6 classes. If you haven't seen them yet they are on the IMPBA D14 page on facebook. Just ignore the spelling, That's being fixed. LOL. The awards Dennis and Aaron had for us last year where nice and good motivation to keep it going.

There is no points fee this year except 1/8th Scale. The purpose of the fee last year was to help stimulate money for rewards but it didn't work as well as we hoped. You'd be amazed at how many people will spend 1,000's of dollars on boats but cant spend 10 bucks to help with trophies.

We also have some class sponsors for Sport 40 and 1/8th Scale.

The High Points Classes are

1/8th Scale

Sport 40

Sport 20

Thunderboat

B Sport Tunnel

RTR

I have a wedding this year so I will do my best get everything posted quickly.

Thanks for letting me do this and lets have a great 2015 Season.

Here's a picture of what the trophies will look like

 

[David Swisher]

Maybe the District can vote on adding some more High Points Trophy Classes. Gas Sport Hydro is one I would like to see. Gas Cat is also. Just gotta make it LSG30. Since the District is no really specific.

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

All the trophies are done.

Hopefully this will motivate some guys that normally don't go to all theraces to try too. It will help all the clubs out in our district in the long run. Thanks.

 

[David Swisher]

I think gas sport hydro and gas cat + crackerbox/jersey skiff all should be considered, the problem comes with IMPBA rule change on motor requirements for stock motors only!!!! Cannot combine boats in a class to make a class when short on enough to make class!

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

I think cracker box is a couple years away from getting a good decent group together. There is a crackerbox trial rule. I haven't read it yet. Most crackerboxes are stock Zenoah anyways.

 

[David Boley]

So you are going to track gas sport hydro?

 

[David Boley]

I know it's too late for trophies, but are you going to at least have certificates for top three?

 

[David Swisher]

I agree top 3 should definitely get a certificate in a frame,only a couple of dollars but greatly appreciated!

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

For Gas Sport Hydro if you guys would like something for High Points I can see what I can do.

 

[David Boley]

LSG30?

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

Yes David LSG 30.

There are not seperations between LSG27 and LSG30 in our district so that will be what it is.

This conversation is also on IMPBA D14 facebook page.

I know what you mean by LSG 30, as in up to 30cc, but it's not really an official classification. There is LSG 27 & LSG 36. This made it a tough call when we made the flyers for Evansville this year. We changed the gas classes from Gas Sport Hydro to LSG27-36 Sport Hydro to be more inline with the IMPBA classes, but really what we want is it the same class we have been running, allowing 26cc motors that are fully modified and stroked out to a higher displacement.

 

[Ken Hildreth]

Sam, I will set up the scales and my sport 40 for the points when you come to Mt. Vernon.

Thanks, Ken

Sorry I meant LSG 36. Thanks for the correction.
