Eric A's 67 rigger that was written off (by me :'( ) 10 months ago. Thus the name of the boat!

George Pile's Mac84 powered mono.

(he was reminded who paints his boats in those colours - hehehehe)

Frank Jones working on his petrol mono during practice on friday.

A hole was found in the new Zenoah crankcase :'(

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Ah Eric, subtle as ever!

Bad luck Frank! Gee, whoever heard of new motors with holes in the crank cases?

I thought it was Casting, Machining, bites.

I got reminded that the K stands for kaboom

Well I'll stick with my Old Piece of Sh@# that runs all weekend.

Grub - Who said scale boats can't finish

 

[EatMyShortsRacing]

Hmmm

Thought it was Cost More Bucks???

EMS Racing Yes I used to race them!

 

[EatMyShortsRacing]

Chenco cowl clips???? which boat are you referring to??? my 21 rigger??? hehehehe

a problem since every boat I have has different ways of holding the cowl down

EMS Racing standardisation - not

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Grub,

I thought it was Obselete Piece of Sh@#!!

Craig,

I meant your 45 SG. Bits of angle over the side, just squeeze the cowl to put it on!

Nitrocrazed racing: Oops, there goes the rod.

 

[TimD]

Grub's boat went very well with that motor in it

I wonder if his opinion of it will change when he has some serious competiton

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Hehe,

I LIKE OPS motors! ;D The 45's, 67's and 80's in particular still go very well! I even have on old 45 tucked away for special occasions... 8)

Don't have to go fast in 1/8th Scale, just have to finish. ;D ;D ;D

Grub - When's the Winter Spectacular in Sydney?

You know, I was thinking the same thing as I was typing the last post.

For the others who wonder what we are going on about - we hold this little race every year called the hydro shootout - and there is a perpetual trophy for scale called the silver cup. The race format dictates that there is a final and the winner of the final takes the trophy. This year we had 6 boats in the final and not 1 of them finished the race! And the conditions were perfect!

 

[Ian Inverarity]

The most common class in which 'no contests' (ie no finisher's) occur in our club is 1/8th scale. I dont really know why? ???

Nitrocrazed racing: The sounds of silence. Must be 1/8th scale again....

 

[TimD]

OK roll call,

Who's going to the Nationals in Adelaide this year?

I booked my seat yesterday ;D

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Well, I'll be there... ;D And I think you can pretty much count on most of the rest of the Adelaide club as well!

Nitrocrazed racing: I think I'll stay at home this year....

 

[Mike G]

Free T-shirt, I'm going!

Just remember I drive on the right and we will be friends. ;D

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Hey Mike,

You had better drive here on the left or you might not make it over....

Maybe you should get Pete to drive instead!

Nitrocrazed racing: Mike DOES talk funny!

 

[Ozzy]
