You'll get a kick out of this! :)
This is a link to a race from our club last summer of a lil .12 running against .21 hydros and winning.
I was there for the race (though I dont race this class) and when the driver won, everyone in the club including me cheered him for winning. It was a great race and shows the importance of a well-set up and well driven boat competing against more powerful but less well set up & driven boats.
This lil hydro is very close to being able to run with the best of our clubs .12 riggers!
Enjoy!

NICE!! I Love to see The Underdog Win
Especially When it's "Knowledge and Ability" Winning over "Dollars $$ and Displacement"[8D]
There is Definitely NO Substitute for Proper Set Up, and knowing What Your Boat Will,, and Won't Do,, is Everything... That's what Makes Champions[8D]

""At the Edina minn. club Bill W Senior wins a B hydro race with an A scale boat....""
Seems to be a 3.5cc/.21 (A) running against 7.5cc/.45 (B), still very impressive result and reward for good preparation and driving.

The club's pond is south on Hwy 77 past the MOA @ 3 mi til you get to Hwy 13. Go East (to the left - tho you'll have to get in the right lane to catch the loop). Go the the 1st stop light. TL. Follow road til it comes to a "T"; TR and after you cross the RR tracks go about 50 yds and you'll find a fenced in pond. That is Nichol's pond and where we hold most races. We also race at a place in New Richmond called Rick's Hobby Farm; and do 1 race a yr at the Isanti County Fair. I love the particular event!!
Our club website is tcmbc.org and you can find directions, race schedule etc on there. We have about 25 or so club members but maybe 10-15 show up at any given race. Hope to meet you some time!

That .12 shovelnose is a scratchbuilt boat by a guy named Chuck Geisen over in Green Bay. The thing is a work of art in person. He & the driver, Bill Sr are good friends and Chuck built it for him last winter. Bill's running some kind of car engine in the thing (dont remember the mfr).
Chuck has built a 2nd one of the .12 shovelnoses that I know of.
Yes, that particular race was at Rick's.
But I dont know what you're asking me about the "2nd race" and a "streak of yellow"??

I know Chuck and his wife. They drove over to attend one of my Fun Run's and his wife walked away with the door prize, an Aeromarine Cat. I've got shots of them I think over on my Photobucket account.
I've seen pix of Chuck shovelnose but this is the first time that I've seen it running.
Those .21's got owned!
