You should expect to see a few nitro classes like A Hydro, A mono and B Mono. In the gas classes we run Riggers, Cats, Sport Hydro, Thunderboats, Monos and Crackers. Basically we will run any class with 3 or more boats registered.

Status: offline 		Well, I found a small pond today. Good size for racing. The problem is it doesn't have a name and it's not on the DEP list. So I don't know who owns it so I can't get any kind of permission to use it. I tried contacting the NAMBA to see if they could offer some advice on starting a club in my area. I haven't heard back from them.
Any help you guys could give would be great

Mike, Rich Grenier (RAGS) our District Director will be at the Mansfield race on September 6th. He can provide all the info you need regarding starting a club. It shouldn't be any more difficult than recruiting memebrs and registering the club name and a list of club officers with NAMBA.
