James Clegg,

I am entering, I am just trying to figure out what classes I need to be in.

FE P-spec class I am definitely signing up for.

FE Open class...does that mean I can enter any FE powered tunnel I want..no guidelines for battery size or anything else?

Then there is the straight Open class...Can an FE tunnel enter it? Is it race what you got, no matter how crazy the setup is?

Also, do I need to become an IMPBA member BEFORE I sign up for this race?

Another question is: If the Kneeler class doesn't pick up anyone else other than Dick Loab, can me and him battle it out with mine being FE, and his doing a mod nitro setup? I built his kneeler, and talk to him daily and I know he would care less and probably have fun doing that!

Let me know James! Thanks, Mike Luszcz

 

[HTV Boats]

Ok John & James, the entry is in the mail. (famous last words) Took a while to decide who's running what but 2 mod 20's 2 mod 40's 2 mod-vp's 2 sport 40's and a open and a sport20 for 10 boats from the HTV camp.

Tuneup in Brandon (Storm #1) and on to the worlds.

Mike,

From the club standpoint, FE Open is just that, run what you brung in the FE class. Must be an OB but that is all. Open tunnel is also run what you brung. Nitro, gas or FE, any size, can compete.

As for the IMPBA membership, you can sign up at the race, however with the race being almost 3 months away. We PREFER you do it now and have it done by race time. You will get your card back usually within 3/4 weeks. It reduces the admin time we have to deal with at the race.

We'll see how the kneeler class goes between now and the race. Dick has offered to sponsor the class so we want to run it. A lot of racers have yet to enter and are coming in soon. Time will tell.

FABULOUS!! Now if we can just get the other FLA tunnel slackers to get entered. Would be a shame that PREMO would be the only TBM member to show up. He will have a hard road to hoe.

Thanks John, I will probably enter all 3, and keep an eye on the kneeler class. It would be great to run a boat I build, but I have nothing nitro anymore, so it would be hard to get just one going! Talk soon, Mike

Understood and think about it some more. Besides, between Dick and James Beasley, they have easily a half dozen spare nitro boats hanging around, and that is no joke!

 

[Mike Luszcz]

John, Dick has probably more than 2 dozen engines laying around! I was just giving him a hard time when I went up there last Friday! haha.

 

[topfuel443]

Updated the entry list as of today, Feb 11th.

Where are all those FE guys that always whine about not having classes to run??????

What about the Kneelers? The OB Hydro class is finally being offered, after much protest... where are they?

Also, **** I will be bringing flyers to the SOWEGA race next weekend****. I think there are a few FE'ers, and local tunnel guys who need to come to the big show. You can fill out the form, write me a check, and hand it all back to me. Save yourself $0.4? cents on a stamp.

Mike,

Suggest you send in your entry now anyway. If the kneeler class is cancelled, your $$$ will be refunded. We are trying, very hard, to get this class started and if several hold back, it will not go at race time. Same for the FE entries too. Guys are watching on what classes are being entered.

 

[Mike Luszcz]

John, I will send it in a week or so then. I just mailed off the IMPBA membership today, so I want it to be processed so I can give you guys my IMPBA #. Mike

 

[topfuel443]

Mike, we dont really need the number. We just need to see the card during check-in at the race. You can just put "applied" in the section on the entry form, unless you have been a IMPBA member before, then your number will be the same as the old one. Looking forward to meeting you and checking out these FE rockets in person.

~ James

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Ok cool. I will get started asap! Yeah, I am pretty excited to get down there. Never been to a race, so this should be one heck of a time! Look forward to meeting you guys too! Mike

 

[Bill Britton]

Ok, I finally got off my a$$ and filled out the entry form. It goes out in the morning..

Clogging YOUR pm inbox huh?

Do you want me to cut and paste some of your messages?

Oh yeah... Just adding to my post count. B)

Updated the entry list on the first page...

Still waiting on quite a few of the normal guys. Little birdy says that Grim and Dunny have other business commitments, I cant imagine anything more important than the World Tunnel Champs for a tunnel manufacturer....
