RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
Everyone that wants to go to the meeting or wants to be informed on what happened, send a PM to Cindy with your e-mail address. She'll update you on any meeting info through e-mail. Jan 6th sounds good.
Also think about any responsibilities you might want to take on for the races. I took on trophies. I've been looking for good and inexpensive trophies and hope to have a sample to share on January 6th. I have decided to offer trophies depending on class size. This is something that has been done in SCCA Solo racing for a long time with good results. It reduces the trophy cost per entry, allowing nicer trophies. It makes getting a trophy actually something to be proud about. No third place trophies for someone with 25 points in a class of three boats. With large classes, you can actually get a trophy for 4th or 5th place. This is good because placing 4th out of 10 drivers is something to be pround of. This will be done on a trial basis for the 2013 season. I hope no one has a problem with it, because I kinda made the decision on my own.
But it has worked very well for the SCCA Solo races that I have helped organize. The break down is shown below.
1 trophy for 1 - 3 boats
2 trophies for 4 - 6 boats
3 trophies for 7 - 9 boats
4 trophies for 10 - 13 boats
5 trophies for 14 - 17 boats
6 trophies for 18 - 21 boats
and so on.....
We will clearly state this on our race flyer and on our website.

Craig - great idea on the trophies. Meaningless trouphies are just that!
Neal, count us in for a case of 50% - like Techology brand.

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
Neil...Promise me you will NOT buy that hydro!! The bid at $7.50 is already too high!! The Pro-Boat Miss Bud's are one of me least favorite boats. I have had to work on many as they came in for repair at Dan's a lot when they first came out. On some, the inside of the radio box compartment was not watertight so it didn't matter if you got the lid taped on correctly or not. Many hulls just cracked from the vibration or simply by picking them up by the sponsons. Some of my buddies tried to put .21's in them which just made all of the hull issues even worse. The later versions with the flex shaft were a little better on quality, but performance wise they were limited. My 2 Cents!! RC

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
Just a little elbow grease and she's a queen Roger
OK what do they use to cut the nitro down to say 50% if I were to buy VPfuel it's 99.9% nitro how do you get it down to the lower amount? The oils added will bring it down some how do you measure % total volume? If I started with 5 gal of 99.9% nitro added 10% oils = 90% yes?

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
Neil...If you were making a 50% nitro blend using 99.9% nitro, you would add equal amounts of menthanol and the nitro. For boat fuel around 18-19% is oil by volume. So if you were making a gallon of 50% nitro fuel... 24oz would be oil, 52oz would be methanol and 52oz would be Nitro...128oz= 1 gallon. A gallon of 40% would have the same 24oz of oil, 62oz of methanol and 42oz of nitro. I will add that the guys who do their own mixing can get good quality methanol (not all menthanol is just methanol) and nitro (VP99.9 is about as good as it gets) as well as an oil with good quality additives...usually with a synthetic blend of castor oil. Then you need a safe place to do it and make sure any moisture is kept out. This is why we usually have Fuel Tecnologies or Red Max do it for us. If you want to try mixing some on your own, I suggest you get a hold of a local drag racer that runs a fuel car and see what they do. They would not typically be adding oil, but they probably have some process for storing and mixing the nitro and methanol. BTW... someone should check my math!! Roger C.

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
I really like the X-Force 26cc engines.
I am slightly biased though...
Why not come to the meeting on the 6th with your new EV and we can look it over for you?
-
Neil with a twin! Yikes! That could make national news...
I will bring whatever you need to the meeting. Just let me know.

Here is the X-Force....
http://zippkits.com/~zippkits/index....roducts_id=400
Neil, You could put a single .90 in the new Zippkit JAE 45 twin as well. I'm pretty sure the designers tested the hull with both a single .90 and twin .45's. Put a CMB .91 VAC in the hull and have fun lapping the gas riggers!

I purchased a x-force from joe @zippkits (use blackouts link..) the price is right.. the zenoah is more expensive,however the x-force not allowed in the thunderboats for races... not sure about mono class or if you plan to race... these guys are very helpful from Stoney Pond Boat Club... been great to me getting back into hobby after 10yrs out(been flying till i found some crazt boaters...lol) dont be shy ask questions and if you like message tom about meeting in jan. (gassertom).. welcoming new members and will guarantee you wont find a nicer group and place to run around here... meeting in henriatta so may be a cruse from geveva, but i am sure craig or i or someone from this area would be happy to carpool!!! keep in touch cause this club is going places!!!
