There are many racers and at the last race it was right in the middle of a small town and many people were watching. There are many classes, both Gas and Nitro. No electrics yet. You have to be a member of NAMBA to race. You might be able to get a "One Day Memebership" at the race. But, I'm not sure. There are entry fees usually 10 bucks for first boat and 6 bucks for every other boat. It is fun to watch!
