Is the OB class doomed?

Hi:
Yes... it's true: there are fewer and fewer drivers competing in this category... however, nobody, NOBODY gets rid of their Tunnels boats; NOBODY throws them into the garbage container. They stay there and sleep for a while... some Spanish and Portuguese people (many of whom participate in this forum) have decided to recover this beautiful category and, SLOWLY, step by step, we are achieving it.
Each new race the grid gets bigger... new water spaces are appearing to carry out the tests... WE ARE NOT GIVING UP!!

Yes! Keep running those O/B tunnels! I see a few that came from Deatsville Alabama in that line up! I hear there were some very fast tunnels at the Nationals in Huntsville. I heard that Mike Z was there. Maybe he can post some pictures of that race?

ONE NAME.. JOEY JONES!

I would list him as a Huntsville (SUPER CLUB MEMBER) he was there as much as he could to help AND.. he is your IMPBA National Champion in Sport Tunnel. Lynx hull, OS motor and Grimracer Prop.

Truth is the entire club did a nice job with the race.

GOOD PEOPLE and good weather make a race like the internats so much fun!

We had a nice time.. I took VERY few pictures.. we missed ya Carl!

Joey is one O/B tunnel loving guy! YES he was on cloud #10 for sure. I have always enjoyed his willing to help and be a team player! All I could do is send some hit men up there. LOL I heard that the old cliche "My name is Mudd" wasn't such a bad name to have either. LOL! Now that I'm retired I will make it out a little more often.

Y'all missed me? You have forgotten what a pain in the A I can be...LOL.
Thanks!
