Sport 60 ???

[Andy Greene]

I see it ran at the NAMBA Nats- anyone else running this class in their Dist this year ???

Not offered in D3 <_<

I know Rick, just build it right

I was just thinking I could loose the rear wing (less headache's ) and run it in the One days as a field filler for now

Well until Don bitched anyway - - kidding Don.........

Yeh, Right

Some in our district wanted Sport-X be added also, How many of them have you seen show?

 

[Norm Doerr]

Yes... we need to add more classes, super idea :lol:

I had to say it..

 

[DON MAHER]

Here in dist 19 we have been running it (sport-60) for at least the last 5 yrs. This is my favorite class!

I have the wing assemb. off and I liked the look of it was all....

To bad it wont make something else that was wingless :huh:

How many usually show up Don ?? and what boat are you running ??

Was the class originated for those who didn't meet the purist's desire for the Scale class ? What are the major differences ?

Andy, it is Sport-40 only bigger

Sport-21 alot bigger

So basically a Scale boat with no restrictions of scheme ? or are there specific hulls designs for sport 60 ?

Scale boats, painted the way you want to,

Look at the NAMBA sport hydro section of the rule book.

You do know what that is, don't you????????????????????????

I'm getting primed for looking at pictures this evening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stand by,

None the less, knowing you, I have donned the kevlar

Sport 60 is kinda of a namba thing. It does help get the guys that go out and buy the dumas circus boat and then paint it up as some other scale or don't get around to doing a paint sceme a place to run. I only know of 2 purpose built sp60. The rest are just scales. In the past we have run this class. This year it was only run at one dist race.

I like the idea myself, only cause I'm lazy - I'm close to leaving the rear wing off, fitting the cowl - run a Picco or OPS and have some fun with it- Dont have to worry about wrecking a wing in a blow off- like that's not gonna happen

I know me .......I would be much more prone to run it harder that way anyhow (sanzs rear wing). The bottom mod is just about done and I'm pretty happy with that so far. Worse case, I run it the WCRA one days with the Scales and have fun with it- without breaking the bank.

Andy,

In dist. 19 there are 2 purpose built sport-60's that I know of, mine & Kim Grim's. I run a MTO drop sponson,CMB for power. Kim run's a Velasco cab over CMB powered hull, all the rest are normal scale built hull's...

For the most part the sport-60 class is 4-5 mph faster than the scale class!! I think this is due to not having to worrie about having to repair & repaint to scale (If needed) JUST GO FAST & TURN RIGHT!! :lol:
