I apologize for using the Beltway Bandit's forum, but it looks like there has been no activity for a few years on this site.
I'm a novice FE boater in Northern Virginia and am interested in getting into racing for fun and to learn more about the hobby. I was looking for a local club to hook up with and the only one I could find was the Capitol RC Model Boat Club which is a District 12 member of the International Model Power Boat Association. They practice/race in Centreville, VA in Fairfax County. So I do a little research on the web and noticed none of the club or district races include FE classes that are listed in the IMPBA rule book. So I shot a email at the Capital RC club asking if they had any FE's in their club. They responded they did not however they are very receptive to the idea and have no problem adding classes to their race schedule as long as we have at least three boats sign up for each class.
So, is there any interest out there in the DC Metro area and Northern VA for FE'ers to try and get together on occasion, run our boats, share our knowledge and maybe get into racing? If your interested, lets hear from you and let us know what classes you may be interested in. I currently have a Titan 33 I just finished buiding and are probably going to build a Mean Machine for my son over the winter.
