East Coast S.A.W's Are Rocking The Book

[shoboat]

Boaters,

I have some reports of some very fast Electric and Nitro boats

out on the East Coast. Examples below:

90+ electric scale boat

90+ 12 Kzam Hydro

OB electrics off the charts

Electric hydros 120+

12 and 45 SAW still to be determined

many more working on new chapters for the record books.

Should be some impressive video out of Elizabeth City this weekend.

Thanks For Reading,

Mark Sholund

talked to dick loeb/moonlighter112 this morning. the TBM no longer holds the p spec tunnel record. he's gonna try to push it out of reach today, using the "small" motor. says he has a better legal motor in the trailer, but doesn't need it h34r: !!

Heard Ferrette put some sort of rocket assist in his scale boat.

Damb he's fast!!!!!

Good weather and Fast boat. I heard 12 records was set on Friday, Elec, Nitro, and Gas. I'm sure we will hear more from them when they have time.

Actually there is not an official P-Spec class in the IMPBA Robin. It's just P Outboard Tunnel. The Class does not have any motor restrictions.

7 FE records set yesterday. Mr Doug Smock broke the 80 MPH Mono barrier for IMPBA FE's with his T-mono. Also I believe Don Ferrette ran 89 in his FE 1/8th scale.

Man, that East Coast water is FAST !! Cograt's Doug, Mike, Chris & everyone else. LA SAW's next weekend. Looks like we have our work cut out for us .

 

[Chilli]

We switch over to ovals next weekend Tony. I'm expecting a half dozen to run FE's.

It should be Insane...... :lol:

We didn't think it would stand long. There was a lot left in the boat but we ran out of weather in Huntsville. I'm just a noob at FE, Dick and Doug both helped me to get it as far as I did. I consider myself lucky to just be able to say I held a record at all.

Congrats to Dick Loeb!

 

[Luca Gray]

Congrats to all, awesome effet.

I also heard Aaron made couple pass's in the 125mph range with his F hydro,

cheers Luca

 

[Terry Keeley]

Looks like good conditions tomorrow too...

Guy's

having an awesome time in the U.S, after my boat box got lost and only got my boats back at 10pm night before the

start of the records trials,(thank god)

Some very fast boats here on the East coast, and seeing KP's little .12 go 90mph+ was awesome.

tomorrow is looking at our best day of the event, fingers crossed, should see a few more records fall.

have heaps of video of the event that i will post when i get back.

regards Aaron

[Mike Luszcz]

Yeah, its sitting next to me right now, temps were 98 on the motor, esc was 105, and the batteries were 111. I had the pleasure of being the tech witness. This guy really knows his stuff. Probably the most innovative design work I have ever seen. Come on wind please lay back down. Bout two hours till dark. Mike

PLEEEEASE keep us posted-

Chris has worked long and hard for this number, I hope the weather gods treat him well , he deserves it

I was lucky enough to check it out @ Sowega at the end of last season, and I couldnt agree more Mike

[Rigged]

Thats rollin. Did the boat exceed 140? Joerg got some competition with the electric riggers.

 

[Don Ferrette]

The 2 runs Chris made were AMAZING and he just barely missed the 140 mark!! I unfortunately busted up my T FE rigger on a pass that was definitely looking alot faster than the 118 I did earlier so I was done for the rest of the weekend with that one. Chris and I had set a mutual goal together to both get over 130 so John Equi (IMPBA Secretary) would have to order new speed patches as they currently don't go over 125, LOL!! I'm really happy for Chris and we had a blast, he is a class act for sure. Can't wait for oval trials this coming weekend!
