For me personally I would hate to see racing of any sort in club events even though I have the fastest lobster boat at present. When competition is introduced the fun and good times disappear and it comes down to who can spend the most money to get the best performance. Doesn't matter whether it is boats , cars, or whatever.
Also it would turn away those members from the club sailings that don't have one of those boats where now there are many different boats at the pond on any given Sunday including a few sail boats lately. These are the kinds of things that should be brought up and discussed at meetings rather than on this forum. Just my opinion although no one asked for it. Bill |

The problem with racing is this, we use to race years ago and all the boats were built the same and it was fun until some members upgraded their motors. About 5 years ago most members of the club went out and bought the same speed boat and we all had problems with it and said no more. The battery only lasted 10 minutes or less and we all agreed that it wasen't worth it,. We always tell everybody you want to run your speed boat do it when the scale boats are out of the water and have all the fun you want ! This is for speed boats only. |

hey guys I think you are taking what rich said a little bit to real I think what means is just for fun once in a while not for compitition and we would ownly do this once and a while not all the time its just for fun not to see who has the fastest boat its just to make people laugh and have a good time and we would not have any speed boats plus we would only do this once a year
