I hope many of you can make it out to Seville, Ohio for Thunder in the Valley this year. Race dates are September 18th with open water, 19th open water and the drivers challenge, and the 20th and 21st for heat racing. You can come for open water and racing, drivers challenge and heat racing, or just for two days of heat racing.

See you in Seville in September.

Entries are coming in and I hope to have the entry list updated on our web site soon. Remember, the deadline is September 15th, so don't miss out. Thursday is open water, Friday is open water and the Drivers Challenge (sign up that day for this event), Saturday and Sunday Heat Racing. E-mail your name, IMPBA number, classes and frequency's when you mail your entry if you like.

It will be a very competitive race and a lot of fun.

5 boats to make a class, but building 5 boat heats is always an option.

Jul,

Drivers Challenge: One boat in the water at a time, any hull any size. Drive around the normal race course starting with one warm up lap, then six laps around the race course. Each lap is timed and your fastest lap will be your best lap. Each driver is given the same amount of points for the start and then points are deducted for all laps over your best lap time. Driver who ends up with the most points at the end will be declared the winner. It’s all about consistency and driver skills. You have to make all six timed laps, so mechanical ability comes into play also.
