Orlando Winter Nationals

[Ken Haines]

Hey Guys,
This year the Orlando Winter Nationals is adding 3 FE classes to their race.
P-Mono
LSH
P-Spec Hydro
Mike Martin has contacted some of you in the Florida Area.
I have been contacting others from out of state.
to Date; Brian Buaas, Dougie Twaits, & Paul Pachmeyer are some of the out of state racers definetely planning on attending.
Along with 5 of the Wave Blasters Club, there is a good start on having a very good FE attendance.
Unfortunately there are alot of other FE racers in Florida who have not signed up yet. This race is a race in or district 3. If we are serious about starting a series within this state we really should have more local entries. If you are already planning on attending, but have not signed up yet, please do as soon as possible.
There is a 325 boat limit to this race, and they sell out every year.
Go to their web-site for more info:
orlandoculvertdodgers.com

You can also PM me (Ken Haines) or Mike Martin for more details.
Lets make this a good kick-off for the 2010 race season.
Thanks, Ken

There was a good time had by all.
The gas and Nitro guys were all very impressed with the speed
and handling of all the FE boats. It sounded like we may have
some additional converts from the fuel classes racing FE next year.
Check ou the archives on ME Time in about a month.
Thanks, Ken

Looking at these numbers, It looks like Terry Cowger Jr. would be overall point leader for FE in this event, good job TJ.
In case anyone is interested here's what he ran:
P mono -31" Rico
LSH - 27" WhipAss
P Hydro - TC design
We all had a really good time, thanks to the people who sponsored and run this event, it must have been very hard to do with all those classes and entries.
