A couple of more nitro boats would help some classes. We know they're out there. Just saw them in Rochester.

3 days until open water! Team USA is looking pretty strong this year!

The NLMBC beaver should be nervous, very nervous!

 

[Terry Keeley]

As our NLMBC member Phil says: "FEAR the BEAVER"!

This one not so much...

 

[TOM DRIVER]

To the NLMBC watch what you say. The beaver is in danger. GO USA!

 

[Matt Schofield]

The Mounties are headed to Stoney Creek to guard our precious "Barner the Beaver".

We don't want any more kidnappings or ransoms (in US dollars)!

 

[Jim Recker Jr.]

So let's see.. ( calculating ) Canada 2 USA 0. Better bring it this year kids! We got some new Canadian talent this year. Maybe Butch Laporte helps us make it a 3 peat.

[Matt Smith]

[Jim Recker Jr.]

[ButchLaPorte]

This one is ready to win. Lol

 

[Jim Recker Jr.]

We ran 70 heats today. Cookin'!

More fun to come tomorrow.

 

[Terry Keeley]

I'm extremely proud of our Northern Lights MBC members and their families for working their tails off to host another great event for our guests. We ran about 120 heats in fifteen hours of racing which is 8 hts/hr, only a well oiled, cohesive group could do that.

For the third year in a row Team Canada prevailed winning the "Can-Am Cup" with total 9900 points over Team USA's 9288.

Team USA came "locked and loaded" though, ready to do damage:

Our beloved mascot "Barney the Beaver" went missing once again, but this time there was no ransom (in US dollars):

Instead he was found stripped naked and being dragged behind a truck!

Like a good Canadian he apologized for being so careless and was eventually returned, his clothes were later recovered after more apologizing:

Once again our own Randy Rapedius took the Oneida Cup with perfect scores in Cracker Box and LSG Sport Hydro. Todd Fleury also posted perfect scores in P & T Sport Hydro but the number of boats ran broke the tie in Randy's favour.

Again thank you to everyone who came to make our "Can-Am" another huge success and we hope to see you again next year!

Look for a complete write up in the IMPBA September "Roostertail", results are also posted to http://www.rcracingevents.com/cgi-bin/raceresults.pl?action=list_events&club=Northern%20Lights%20Model%20Boat%20Club

Thanks to all of the NLMBC members for another great Can Am weekend. All of the club members work hard to make the race run flawlessly. Looking forward to next year!

Tom & Cindy
