Racers,
After months of hard work and discussion by some dedicated racers we would like to introduce a new series to RC Boating that we feel will bring our hobby into the next level of racing. The RC Boat World Championship Series will initially be a five Race series that will travel from Coast to Coast with races being held in Florida, Dallas, Colorado, Houston and end in New Orleans. This is the first time RC Boaters will be offered real opportunities to become World Champions. Each one of these races will be a World Championship Series Race and at the end of the year the top point’s earners in each class will be crowned World Champions in each individual class of racing. These champions will have earned there championship crown by accumulating points from each individual Championship Race. Racers will also have a ranking each year based on points accumulated from races during the year. Even if you can only attend one or maybe two races you will have points at the end of the year that will give you a ranking for the next year. This is much different than the races we are used to in our hobby were someone can have a lucky weekend and be crowned a National Champion.

The website set up for this race series is located at www.rcbwc.com it has a forum to discuss race locations, dates, rules, points, formats and special activities that will be unique for each race. We as a collaboration will do our best to evolve the series and help it grow with the hobby and the rapidly changing technology. Club leaders will have control of things that need to be done to bring successful races to each City where races will be held. We will continue to search for locations and clubs that we feel will help the race series grow. We will be looking for locations that we feel will cater to broadest spectrum of racers across the country and welcome clubs to contact us so we can discuss options.

We have some very big name sponsors for this series that we will be announcing very soon. We already have a sponsor that has donated a $200 gas card for each Class Champion at the end of the year. We look forward to getting everyone in our hobby involved and finally having some hard working racers we can call champs. Go to the website sign up, check out the dates, sites and look over the rules and let us know what you think.

Now wait a minute here. How can you call it COAST TO COAST when the farthest WEST you come is Colorado.

I'll donate running gear for the high points winner in G1 and GX1 or equivilant in each mono class at the end of the year.

Steve,
We are still waiting to finalize whether are not the race in the far West Coast is going to happen. We are doing our best to make it happen. We are open for any clubs to host a race in that area.

Steve,
We really apreciate the donation and I will list it on the site.

Thanks from everyone.

I agree with Steve. The Northwest, Northern California, and Southern California are not included in a coast to coast series? These districts are the competitive districts on the west coast! I hope the series is able to make it over the mountains.

Guys,
We initially had a West Coast Race scheduled for the series and it has not materialized. This Series would like nothing more then to have a race on the West Coast. If you know a club that would be interested in doing this please have them get in touch with us. The offer is out there and we still have a open spot in the Series for a club on the West Coast. This is a great opportunity for boaters everywhere to be part of a new style of racing that will be good for all of us. We are not excluding anyone and look forward to hearing from representatives from the West Coast. Make the calls and send the emails and see what the clubs have to say. If we can get this done in a reasonable amount of time we can include a West Coast race in the series for this year.

Thanks
Carlo

Carlo, You have a PM.

Kevin,
You have one too.

Carlo, I am working on a batch of parts for gas mono's now. When I finish them, I'll send them to you and perhaps you'll decide you want to sell them.

My stuff is not cheap, but I think you'll like it when you see it. I'll also include a T-BAR and turn fin for each set up.

Steve,
Sounds good.

Carlo
