NAMBA Dist 3 Nitro / FE Series Races Florida

[Ron Drake]

NAMBA Dist. 3 will be trying something different this year for Nitro and F/E classes. There are 3 races on the schedule for 2023.
Here are the dates as follows:

May 27, 28 2023 Brandon, FL
August 12, 13 2023 Broward, FL
December 2, 3 2323 Brandon, FL

So everyone knock off the dust on the old Nitro Boats and bring them to the races.
As for the Electric guys and gals we will supply electricity at the Brandon Pond for recharging if needed.

Lets make this a great turnout for the races this year in this series. Prizes to be announced at a later date.
Depending on turnout this could be a 2 day race or they might run as a 1 day.
We will offer all Nitro classes and all F/E classes along with Open Class Nitro vs F/E so be making plans to attend as we would love to have any and everyone attend.
This also would be a great opportunity for new boaters to attend as this will be a slower paced racing events.

This is GREAT NEWS Ron! Looking forward to helping out anyway i can, and racing with everybody!

Thanks Bill as we are going to be promoting these events to give the Nitro and F/E some races in this Dist.
As we know that the Nitro classes have been suffering for a while now and the F/E has dropped off some.
But after talking with some folks and at the races it seems like this will be a great series. So everyone please come out and race and have a good time. We might even take some time to do a cookout at the race if possible.
