Big September Weekend in Henderson

Posted by Ted on September 7, 2010 at 12:41 PM

ETRC Boaters,

 

We had a Huge weekend out at Lake Forest Park in Henderson.  Saturday was basically a mixed bag of boating.  Al brought out a RC Sailboat and did some manuvers with little wind.  Then the electric crew hit the water to drain some batteries.  Tommy and TJ lined up the UL-1's and had a great time.  Lots of laps were ran during the day.  Ed Sidders brought out Miss Kitty with some special Orange Fuel (top secret mix).  Miss Kitty ran flawlessly for about 10 laps of the pond, to return back to the duck walk. 

Monday again the crew showed up in force.  Ronnie, Donnie, Mike and Tommy were again doing some quality tuning at the pond.  It was also reported that there was some good racing that day.  You all can take a look at the Video Section and see for your own selfs.

 

Be extra careful not to park on the grass at the park.  We can park at the lower road, but not on the grassy area.

 

Safe boating and hope to see all out on September 25 -26 weekend.  Maybe we can make plans to set the course.  We need to do some quality practice within the confines of a regulation course.

We had agreat time on monday playing. We also had two of the officers from Henderson police out at the pond with us both were very intrested with getting into boating I tried to get them to run one of my boats they said maybe next time they even said they had a great time. I dont know when I will get to play again but when I do I will send out a note.

I was in Dallas, had a good time, worked out some bugs ,talked to some old friends and enjoyed good weather. I at least finished half my heats , so that's an improvement, but one of mt DNFs my boat did barrel roll and flip and ripped the hatch off . Hatch took some damage,so I'll need a new one. Tim Folts and I pitted for each other and he had about same luck as me,but we had a good time anyway. Kudos to the Dallas club for a well ran race.
