I sure had a great time racing in D4 last summer. I won't be able to make it to the meeting, but I would like to make one sugestion. The guys down in Florida are having great success recently separating the gas and nitro races. Maybe it's worth a try in D4 with a few events? In any case, I plan on making the journey a few times again next summer. I will be working on the boats all winter trying to make them fast enough keep up with you guys.

 

[Dan Pralle]

Greg thanks for the idea. For clarification do you mean a gas only race event and a nitro only race event? Separate days or weekends?

 

[Rick Reisinger]

I would advise to keep it as it is >

Satisfies more diversity and attracts racer's from both side's ................

Just a hint

Greg thanks for the idea. For clarification do you mean a gas only race event and a nitro only race event? Separate days or weekends?

Yes a separate event for nitro only and a seperate event for gas only on different days/weekends. The intent would not be to be divisive, (I run both gas and nitro) but to have a couple specialty events where instead of having twenty or more classes with 3 - 7 boats in each class, there would hopefully be fewer classes with 10 to 20 boats per class.

 

[sbowden21]

I bet there would be good turnouts for both... I like this idea

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

I'm not in your district and I like that idea also.

 

[DPeterson]

Good thoughts guy's.

Unfortunately in D4, Nitro is on the decline, Gas is on the incline and Electric is on the edge of the table. A venue dedicated to one fuel type is a little hard to financially support and then the consideration of the volunteer manpower to pull it off.

With that said there will be a good discussion at the meeting about trying to get to "less classes" and "more heats" in all the fuel types.

Any results from the meeting?

District 4 - 2016 Race dates:
Badgers June 4th
Badgers July 9/10 Two day race-will be sport 20/sport 40 weekend races for the memorial cups. Not two one day races as in past.
Marquette-St. Anne July 30/31
Minute Breakers - Mendota August 20/21
Marquette-St. Anne September 24th.
Badgers Turkey Shoot October 9th.

A few more races in the works, but not definite yet.

There is going to be high points series for certain classes. Like the 1/8 scale does. I believe gas sport hydro, thunderboat, and one or two more.
We registered 7 1/8 scale boats at the meeting. 3 new racers entering scale in 2016.

1/8 Scale is going to have one throw out allowed.

Others can elaborate on the other high points series. It is going to be FUN!!!

[DPeterson]

First Badger race is June 4. Open water Friday 6/3 afternoon and again on Sunday 6/6 9:00 - 2:00.

All the other dates look correct. Oshkosh is still considering a June 18 race.
