Way to go guys! Another records event!

 

[Lamar_Huff]

Glad to see thier is some excitement for the event! IMPBA National Records Director Doug Smock was instrumental in garnering support within the club to host the event. It is certainly a LOT less work than the Spring Nats!!!

Hope to see you guys there!

Thanks,

Lamar

Gents,

If you plan on running @ the Atlanta record trials PLEASE pre-register with Norman.

Contact : CD: Norman Morton (404) 761-3775 email: [email protected]

This way Norman can start the log with names, classes, and times to beat. It will greatly speed up the process come time for the event. We will have everything already filled out and ready to go and we won't have to be trashing through the record books trying to get everything in order.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Lamar

AWSOME! Any pix or vid would greatly help boost the morale for those of us still living with HWS (Hard Water Syndrome)!

 

[Lamar_Huff]

I am whipped... I made enough strut, prop, & pipe adjustments over the past two days to last me for the rest of the year! Not to mention the number of buoys I either cut or ran OVER!

Thanks to all who attended the event & to the Atlanta crew for putting on the event.

Congrats to the new record holders!

Later,

Lamar

Nice going guys. Maybe I can make it next year.

Atlanta has great conditions for oval trials. Lake is protected from the wind for the most part and the drivers stand is high above the water. And for this past weekend the weather was Pefect!

Nice job, Guys.

Way to go, Mr. Reed Eagle! Now, go do the updates to the hull on that mono I suggested and watch those times drop further!

 

[ZZ RACING]

Congrats to the Atlanta club on their first record trials. It looks like you guys did a bang up job. And congrats to all the record holders. Those times are just smokin.

Some great times, congrats all!
