Eat your heart out boys I know all you have these things


From Don Wollard, Rumrunners Racing.
FE 4 is now official. April 17 - 20th @ Valdosta Georgia

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok Gents. Looks like 2008 will be a GREAT year for FE Competition.

Got a call from Glenn Quarles last eve and FE 4 is now official. This will be a 4 day event for the electric guys. The details are still in the making but here is the basic scoop.

2 days of the event will feature " Worlds Fastest SV 27 Competition". This should be a hoot...so dust off your boats, Gents. More on this soon ...but essentially, Aquarcraft and FlightPower have team up with RumRunnerRacing.com to get a little competition going for this great boat. There will be 3 competitions (1) Box stock with Lipo's and ONLY a prop change allowed (2) Unlimited (any motor, hardware or set-up)...the original hull and original lid are required (3) Concours.

SV's will be featured on the water Friday and Sat. The event will give water time prioroity to current record holders or any boater which, in the CD opinion, is a pending record breaker. Otherwise the SV will have time on Friday and Sat....something like 9a until 4p. It will be open water with the timing lights active from 8a until dark.

All the usual classes apply. All the IMPBA rules for Lipo's / cells apply. Jason will be cooking but I don't have the days yet. Otherwise food and lodging is available nearby. Camping is permitted at lakeside. Bring your own Pop-up or tent. I suggest you bring your own power source if you have access to same.

Make those SV's pretty, boys. I hope to see 8th scale out this spring as well as perhaps a few early 'contest' 10th scale hydro's (from the coming RumRunner Build contest of 2008 season). My 10th scale will be there ..... For sure.

BIG THANKS to all the early sponsors for the SV Competition. Aquarcraft has really stepped .... wait till you guys see the raffle they have pony'd up. Flightpower will also offer there support as well as SUPER raffle prizes.

Additional sponsorships include ..... Fuller's Fast Electrics will have an upgrade hardware package with discount's for just for FE 4 competitors, OffShore Electrics will be in with 'special deals" and set-up's available, Dougie at RumRunnerHobbies will do a few special Unlimited set-up I heard and I expect several other Vendors will be joining the mix soon. You guys are the BEST ... thx for your sponsorship. Hope to see Ray, StephenV and Dougie at the event.

More soon. A sign up page and event flyer is in the making.

Taylor,

haha! I'll buy a hull is its cheap. Lob off the front half of the boat that inst in the water and trow in a NEU 1515.05Y, trim tabbs the size Texas and rudder the size of two.

That's about what I was thinking.
