Does anybody still run Boats on the pond anymore. If so what days and time? Going to be out there sometime soon and would like to stop and check out some boats running.

Yes they do. They just had the Gas Wold Champs there a few weeks back. I was out there for the race and the city just did some remodeling, it's really nice!

Most of the guys that run there are gas enthusiasts and can be found over on Jim's boat dock pretty easily.
 
Thanks for posting that Ron. After watching the video, reading the story and all the comments - I find it hard to believe any NAMBA member would risk loosing a nice race site like Sunset park for chasing birds. I was a member of the Decker Lake club in SLC for a few years before retiring and moving to another state. The County owned the Lake and it was designated a wildlife sanctuary on the West side and R/C boating was allowed on the East side. The club would do a couple thorough clean-up's every year- and guess what- most of the trash we picked up was left by fisherman and those that fed the birds(plastic bags with bread or bait inside, Fishing line and baited hooks and other junk). Would you leave items like this around your children or pets- no.
 
I got that off Jim's RC Boat Dock. First, there is no proof so far that it has been done by boaters as no one has come forward with anything that says any RC boater is responsible for any of the ducks getting hit. The boaters arecomplaining about the very same problems that you've had, especially fishing lines.

They're none too happy either as they've used that pond for a long time for the Gas Boat Championships.
