June Fun Run

[wswatzell]

Hey Ron, No problem. Always glad to make you feel welcome!! LOL!!!! :lol:

Bob, that defently sounds like a good reason to travel! really hope to see you there.

 

[Ron Olson]

I got a call today from the DNR at work. I went up there on Tuesday and put in an application for the Regatta. It was Okayed and I will be getting a copy of the permit any day now in the mail.

I called the Parks and Recreation office and asked for more picnic tables. No such luck. We'll have to move any in the area ourselves or bring your own if you have one.

 

[nitrotoys]

[Ron Olson]

Brenda, Karen Kensill (?), Dave Lamb from another site, John Dole from Extreme Hobbies and maybe some others from Indiana. Dave Homer is a maybe plus some other locals.

I put on the application 30 people but that was just a guesstimate.

 

[nitrotoys]

Juice i beleive is comming with dale and son.

For some reason, It seemed like more people were going to come out.

Steve and Heip Have to come NEW TOY TIME. For one of them.

LOL Steve, You going to chase it when he flips it? Make sure he pushes trigger forward to kill engine and keep water out of engine, dont want to HYDROLOCK IT.

Now steve, I did run it, knock on wood (without fliping it)

The prop is a good prop for it, dont JUMP Out of the hole, and dont over rev the engine. I have ran this prop on this boat even with stock engine. Once engine breaks in more and leaned out, it will be a good all around prop.

I ran it rich, about a 2 bags now run through the engine 1000ml.

Its set alittle wet at slow speeds but has a good attuide at full speed.

So basicly its set to go.

Tom

[SColby]

Sounds good Tom. As I have mentioned to you before I really appreciate you doing everything you have done. Heip is excited to come. New toy for Heip and for me I HOPE. The cat hull is almost done. Needs paint. I am also hoping to have my tunnel running good by then.

 

[CySlyde]

Heip is excited to come. New toy for Heip and for me I HOPE. The cat hull is almost done.

hehe everytime i see that i think your mispelling my last name... just be carefull shouting that.. yuou might get my attention too

still tryin to talk christy into driving a boat this time

 

[SColby]

I tried to get my wife to say she will come and try runnning one of my boats with no luck. It is not that she won't she just has no interest. Maybe I can get her to try it at the lake before hand and that will get her to want to come along.

Anyone in GR Area-

I talked with Wade about going to the lake before the Fun Run and we are going to try to plan the weekend before (June 5th or 6th). I have to check to make sure it is open first. I will post later when I know for sure. Just trying to see if there is any interest in joining us again. I need to finish dialing in my boats before the trip to K-Zoo.

 

[wswatzell]

You need to finish dialing yours in, & I just need to finish mine!!

 

[nitrotoys]

Dale, NEW M&D Motors???????????????????????

Makes the INSANES do funny things.

What happened with your other motors?

Whats nice, mine start in about a half a pull once choked.

Tom

 

[Ron Olson]

You need to finish a boat? I'm starting on one tonight! I had my Sis cut me some more pieces last night so that I can assemble another HH.12 . I'm going to try a few mods on this one to see how things work, one is a different motor mount setup. Otherwise it'll look pretty much like #1. A tub mounted turn fin might go on it also if I have enough Carbon Fiber angle stock to do it.

BTW Wade, I have some new decals also in gold and flourescent orange in a different font. If you want some I'll send them to you.

Steve, if your wife or any other wives want to try their hand at driving, we can give them the lake for themselves so that they won't be intimidated.

 

[Toledo tunnel Man]

Power is just not there to us , so we ordered something different, its only money 56 mph I want 60eeeeeeeeesssss atleast.Iv got props from proppworks so i know there good,Hows yours running?

 

[nitrotoys]

Mine had a airleak around carb spacer, I think i got that problem taken care of.

WIll test it out tommorow.

Props works props are great on the cat,

Been back and forth with the ones for the rigger.

Been experminting myself, found a few that work well.

Tom

 

[ScottVanSlooten]

AQs big as this looks like it is getting has anyone thought about a Freq. board with clips or a radio inpound so nothing happens like having some one turn on a radio why'll some else is on the water. just a thought ... Scott

 

[Ron Olson]

Got it Scott. I got some clothes pins from the Dollar Store and had some plastic that I cut into squares. Now I have to find something to put the clips on at the pond.

Are you and your son coming again this year?

 

[wswatzell]

3 Short weeks left!! Is every one going to have there boats ready? I think I am going to be pushing it, but I should make it

 

[MarkScott]

I'm pushing it! Hopefully the rain will stop on my days off of work and might see if anything will start up..

Mark.
