The weather was awesome, perfect conditions.

There will be some explaining to do, how we provide to the racers a level playing field.

I for one am done. Disrespect of the highest caliber, blatant disregard for competition, total manipulation to avoid competition.

I am done being a nice boy. This one will get out, and needs to be understood.

Congratulations to all racers, good job.

Have fun.

Ok this has my attention, sounds like some things need addressing big time. HOWEVER- as this gets talked about it WILL need to remain CIVIL and FACTUAL.

I too am interested in what needs to be talked about here.

Good weather, water and competition. World Tunnels are back and thanks to the CMB crew for a super race. (Joe for the best site in rc boat racing) Otto took two crown jewel classes and Jay swept D-Sport, D & Open tunnel. I took the FE short number classes and have to thank Shawn Junker of Vision Boats for a lot of support. Other notable was Team Ugly's new engine builder and back on the drivers stand, Andy Smith. Andy knows motors and dives right in helping everyone. Have to include Henry Nelson and one of his Pylon racers and machinist, John Albritton who lives down here a couple miles from my house. So Florida has 7 1st place plaques in hand.

As for Randy's view point I agree. We could avoid runoffs and level the field by just running the top six in points together in the final heat. Not a shootout you retain earned points just no "little sisters of the poor" easy heats at the end. Actually 7-12 could group in a large class for a consolation trophy spreading the glory. Every year by the last day so many boats drop out as many just want to pack em up for the ride home as there so far out anyway. We get two boat heats and people that won't run hard against someone who has a chance to win. My 2Cents.

Had fun and showing my age driving. If I can keep Max away from some tar heel influence we will restock "Team Ugly".

They are just to young to know any better

and yaw are just to lazy to carry your own boats back to your pit area

. If you missed this race you missed the best water Charlston pond has ever had for us little guys. Randy was great on the stand and called it like he seen it. Congrats to all the winners and for the guys that came over from Finland it was really great to meet and hang out with you. There was some super fast tunnel racing all weekend. Not really sure what Randy is talking about

 

[HTV Boats]

Good boys gone bad! This is what happens when you leave children unattended.

 

[RonShaw]

Lol. One think for sure. Two fine young respectful boys and I am happy to have them as a member of our team. XS T-shirts coming soon!!!...

Jay, Mic, and Rick. You guys have done a great job with these kids. Glad to see the next generation of our hobby doing so well. I know you all are proud. My girls will be coming to another race soon!!!...

 

[Andy Greene]
