Yes, but not lately, and the last few times I was in his basement, I walked by a half built .21 Jaguar. Just glad to see he plans on finishing it.

Mark, just curious, why the no single event fee, This has not been the case in the past? Was there a rule change?

Thanks,

Hey guys, debating adding this race to our schedule this year. Spoke to Mark Bullard about it down in Florida a few weeks ago and I have a couple questions:

Can we camp on site (Self-contained Travel Trailer) near the waters edge? I normally setup my pit area under my camper awning.  

I know official open water starts June 8th, could we get there and set-up sooner, say June 6th? 

Based on the picture im attaching, where is the drivers stand located? Ive been racing RC boats for 20 years now all over the world, and I've NEVER been to the Huntsville pond.... 

Thanks!

The concrete pad circled is the hot pits/Drivers stand.

Drivers stand is at the back of the concrete pad and the city does not allow any camping on site. The closest camp site is at the Space and Rocket museum less than 5 minutes from the site.  As for setting up earlier you will need to talk with Rick Grim.

That is a good question as the registration site seems to interpret that single event insurance   "should"  be accepted by the host club and directs  the potential contestant to the IMPBA site for further information.

Bummer, thanks for the info. 

 

[bzubee]

No problem.

News Rick requested the City to allow RVs to stay overnight, will keep you up on the news if it changes. 

 

[topfuel443]

That’d be awesome, thanks

Let me know as well as Id like to stay onsite

 

[bzubee]

Will do Mike I would not plan on it though the city is pretty set in their ways!

 

[topfuel443]

I assume there has been no word on the camping question to the city folks?
