Herb Stewart Race

[Robert Pickard]

Jeff there are no races in November in the District be a great month with the weather and water

 

[Jeffmaturo]

That is John's thoughts as well.......hoping we hear something soon so I can help pull things together to make this a memorable race!

 

[Robert Pickard]

Great i start talking to the guys down here

 

[vision craft boats]

And yet still no news, anyone want to buy some boats?

 

[Robert Pickard]

Shawn you know how slow that park works crawls along lol

 

[HTV Boats]

Hope we get some lead time to make plans.

 

[Matt Minassian]

I do believe this race will not be held this year according to John Otto.

 

[vision craft boats]

Lame!

 

[Robert Pickard]

Mic does your club be able to do a tunnel race in Nov.

 

[HTV Boats]

Were not ready for a full race but have been thinking about an open day with maybe some timed laps and pickup grudgematch heats. Might do a RC swap meet day at the same time.

Lame!

Honestly , for what its worth-

It was WAY to late in the year to even think about properly reviving this race, John did the right thing imho.

One would think that between the people that have said their piece here and want something of its like - That maybe they would get off their hands and start planning for 2017 NOW -

Just a suggestion. The interest is there - the want is there ,

now are all the people that want it there when it comes time ?

and whos gonna step up and make it happen ?

 

[John Otto]

Lame!

It's pretty funny coming from the guy who doesn't belong to a single club in the Tampa Bay Area, who doesn't offer to help plan or put time in at a race to make a race successful, and who also complains about getting race dates but when it comes time to actually show up for a race he's a no show. If you think it's so lame, maybe you should grab the bull by the horns and run the race yourself.

I always look forward to a Brandon race best time ever up there and great guys and races

 

[Ain'tSkered racing]

I know that the Tampa electric Club got kicked out of there site. And now are at the park off furitville rd in Sarasota and nitro is allowed. It would be great to see if they would be interested on putting the race on and the funds would help build there Club. Also it is a awesome lake with easy access to it.. those of us that ran years ago in fl know what I'm talking about. Just a thought

 

[HTV Boats]

Not sure who's in charge of the FE group in Sarasota. I know we have some guys down in our area that would help out a nitro and FE event. With attendance and working. I am sure the Wave Blasters on the east coast would bring some FE's if a race sprang up.

I can ask Jeff Westbrook, he is a member of that club. They get together and run often.

 

[Ain'tSkered racing]

They have a Facebook page and say they race twice a month. And the president info is on there . They are under West florida model boat club

 

[Andy Greene]

Id be in for sure, way past due to come play tunnel boats with the best crowd around.

You got your 20 boat all tuned up Raul ?

 

[PropNut]

Guys,

I hate to pour cold water on this,but our club just came to an agreement with Sarasota county to use Ackerman two weeks ago. We are currently in a 6 month probationary trial period. Heck, we just set the course last weekend and have yet to run there ourselves. I do not wish to request any additional events until our trial period has ended.

All good Ray , thats easily understood.

Have any of you guys ever looked into Tom Bennett Park ? or possibly one of the front ponds at Nathan Benderson Park across from the mall ??

I ride by them both all the time when Im working down there and they would fit the bill really well.
