This race was put on by nitro racers, but they kindly asked us to participate. We only ran the "short course" for one heat, due to very rough water on the back straight. But half way into that heat the CD decided to have us run the full course, which worked great once everyone got the message. All the boats were running UL/LiPo power combos. Apparently years of sniffing nitro fumes has addled the brains of the nitro guys - they can no longer count backwards....
