Guys, this will be my first trip to Brandon, what is the favorite hotel there? Are there options? Is there a pond address so I can check out the surrounding area, ie
restaurants? Looks like about a 10 hour drive from here, no big deal to spend the weekend with nitro guys. I won't miss this even if I have to walk to Florida !!!!!!!! Thanks, Mark

 

[Marty Davis]

We haven't had our orginizational meeting yet, but Jeremy set the bar HIGH for an all nitro race last year in August. Some of his ideas will most likely be used since they were so popular. Some of the things I have heard talked about are really cool ideas and I am positive that everyone will have a great time at this race.

[acaptn]

This is a race I am looking forward to!!!!!!!!!!!! Friends, Good Times and some Great Racing!!!!!

 

[vision race boats]

I am looking forward to this race as well,i think this is a great thing for nitro racing,i have nothing against gas but with so many gas boats at a race it makes for a lot of sitting around during a race weekend.

 

[Marty Davis]

Hopefully, Mike Culhane and I will have the rcracingevents.com entry up and ready to go later this evening.

 

[Robert Pickard]

OK you sport40s sign them up, what kind of format Marty this way everyone running this kind of race can user the same one

 

[Marty Davis]

RCRacingEvents.com entry form is up and ready for entries.

Be advised that there will be a meeting of the two sponsoring clubs to iron out details of the race format, event title, etc so there may be some minor changes to the entry form after this meeting.

Get entered so we can see the interest and start planning for a spectacular event.
