Congrats to Doug. I believe that is the Fastest 2 lap Mono 1/3rd in the books, Gas Nitro or FE.

Good morning from Blue Lake on day 9 of SpeedWeek! It is about 15 minutes before sunrise and we are getting ready to set the lights for the last time in 2022!

What size FE motor ? KV? How many of cell Lipo ? What size prop?

We ran a 1527 1Y (1250kv) on 8 cells and ABC 22-23-24 series props. A new Road Runner from Ralph that hit the water for the first time at Blue Lake.

Sorry for rambling. Just got around to posting. Special thanks to Glen, John Beardslee, and Jason for all their hard work to make the event a total success. It was a great group of model boaters and everyone helped each other as it should be. Loved it!

All good stuff John

A big congrats to all the record breakers and especially to Glenn, John and Donna for putting on this event. I always enjoy coming down to see friends and running at this great location. It was great to finally meet John Finch and Steve Sutton and even a special appearance by Chris Harris whom I also met for the first time. I cannot think of any other location, even Legg Lake where we get so many hours of good water to run. See you guys next year.

Late to the party here as I just got all the blood out of my eyes..LOL What a week that was!
I can't say enough about Glenn, Jason, and John. These guys were on point and hosted another first-class event! Thanks again gentlemen!
I also need thank "The Professor" John Finch, "Hackmaster" Steve Sutton, and Mark Grim. It's easy to improve on your skill set when you get to hang out with and lean on the experience (and prop box) of guys of that caliber. Thanks again fellas!
It was good to be back to Blue Lake and a Record Trial, I was gone too long.
Congratulations to all the record setters! Well done sirs!
To the guys (like me) that fell short of their goals, keep after it, you'll get it done. I'll be back after it with the SAW boat as soon as the black eye heals. lol We can't take no for an answer, there is no fun in that!

See you all back at the pond!

Just wanted to give a shoutout to Glenn, Jason and John and thank them for putting on such a world class event. I don't think these guys get enough credit for all that it takes to drive across country, set up the race site/timing equipment and then camp out, not for a weekend, but 9 days of nothing but RC boating. I'm sure everyone has experienced how long one race weekend can be let alone a full week of it. We'll 100% will be back next year and the year after as long as you guys have it. Thank you guys for all that you do.
