You can also place that in the Upcoming Events calendar on this site if you already haven't done so.
Go to the toolbar at the top and hover over the RC Community and a drop down menu will come up then you'll see where you can put it in.

I ended up taking 3rd place overall in open g hydro in my first event this weekend. Got to meet some guys from Dallas and Amarillo. Tim Martin and Duane Oldfield (great guys) along with Buckshot, Jerry Wright and a few members from Wichita, Kansas. I ran side by side with Tim in open g hydro at one point. He took 1st overall out of 4 boats in the class. On the 4th heat, his whip flamed out on the back straight, the water was racing us as it was pretty rough with winds gusting 25+mph which makes are pond here in Oklahoma very rough on the back straight. I was coming up on his dead boat trying to hold it tight on the inside of the course and swore I ran him over, lol. But, when we talked after the fact, his boat showed no signs from me possibly hitting him. It was a great day and I also got some sun, lol.

Here's a couple shots I took of 2 racers from Wichita, KS. These are coming out of turn 4.

I met Tim and Duane at the 2011 IMPBA Gas Nat's. They're crazy but some of the nicest guys around. Tim was buying rounds at the banquet, walking around with fistfuls of drink tokens. He called me about a month ago and we shot the beeze for a while.

I had a couple with him and Duane, lol. It was nice to put a face to the names rather than always reading what they type on a thread. I look forward to racing more in the future.

Tim's always armed with beer or Wild Turkey! He helped me out a lot with my Rampage when I first got it.

Tim got a shot of you yesterday.

Hydro51

Lol! He told me he got a few pics and was gna put em on facebook. That pic was during open water testing Friday afternoon. I'm not on facebook, he also got a couple pics of my boat on the water Friday. You get that pic from facebook Ron?

Ron Olson

My Feedback: (1)

Yes. He's got lots of them posted.

Hydro51

Would you mind posting the one he got of mine on the water? I'd like to save it. If he's got it posted that is.

OK, let's try it again. This site is being a PITA tonight.

Hydro51

Thank's! I decided to join facebook after a long time. Mainly just to try and keep up with JRCBD and get some of the photos Tim got.

Tim's got the pix posted under his name, Timothy Martin or under Jims RC Boat Dock (no apostrophe). You can then check out the friends list in those groups and ask to be friends with them. After a while Facebook will suggest friends for you. I'm on there right now and I should be able to let you in the door if you need approval.

Hydro51

I sent you a request, along with Tim and requested to be a member on the JRCBD page.

So you thought I was going to wet my pants huh? LOL!!

Man I wish we had a fresh water Pond like that close to my house. All we have is Saltwater and it's getting old to where I'm thinking about selling my Stuff.

Yup!
There's a lot of good people in this hobby/sport, many who will do anything that they can to help you out. Broke your boat? Here comes a crowd to get you back on the water. I've seen it, have helped as my trailer and toolboxes are open and if I have something that'll get you back out there, it's yours. I've also had racers come to my aid. I know some of the best racers around in gas and nitro and it's been an honor to know them. Most (not all as there's always a few of them) don't let it go to their heads.
