Is This The Best & Worst of RC Boating ?

dpost — Tue, 18 May 2010 11:00:22 +0000

We are in the midst of another RC boating schedule for 2010. Having already raced 3 times this year in both IMPBA & NAMBA. That said , a few observations, “The Best Side” great racing, good people, great race sites and due to some improvements in the economy, most racers in our hobby continue to spend and travel to a lot of races. Thats the good!

Now for the “The Worst Side”
Have we as racers forgotten why we got in to this hobby? Has the need to win overridden our sense of what is right thing to do when issues arise during a race. If your involved in an heat incident , whatever that may be, then it’s time to ” Man-Up” and accept whatever the results are and move on. Can you leave a race site and feel good about your results or not. We all have had bad days, race conditons, equipement, etc. so these are things we understand. But remember this, that Trophy you won will sit somewhere and collect dust, but your racing memory and how you got it does not! Just remember this that somewhere down the road the shoe may be on the other foot!

Comments are Welcome!

RC Boating: Crisis or Crossroads?

dpost — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 13:05:19 +0000

As an avid RC Boater I often wonder where our hobby is headed? I for one enjoy running the boats for the pure enjoyment. That being said all of the people in our hobby need to remember how we arrived at this point in our hobby. There are the R& D er’s who spent countless hours perfecting and testing their products for the betterment of our hobby. The boat builders who fine tuned someones hulls, motors or countless number of parts. So now we have many great options and many great sites to race or just run boats. So now you ask where are the problems?

Just a few observations:

why do we need 2 national organizations? Can we not standardize the classes , rules, and one way of doing this hobby?How can a club lose a lake just because someone asks a lake owner and he says Ok, where are the district officers concerning this issue? Are we driving people out of our hobby by legislating only certain types of hulls or motors for certain districts within National organizations? I personally have seen racers lose finishes because a club chose to use a CD who was unaware of the rules and the incident cost a racer. You need to be able to race all over the US under a standard set of rules. One cost of dues or both organizations recognize the others card period.

Our hobby is only going to grow if theses issues are addressed at sometime in future or more , or do we as a hobby just continue to do business as usual. I hope not for the sake of our hobby? please leave a comment if feel inclined
