Delmarva Boat Modelers Gas Boat Event
Here in Maryland, Queenstown....
Was able to stop in a while and see some of this action. Got there a little late, but saw enough to make the trip worth while. Here's a few shots from the event. LOTS of great racing and the rescue boats were very busy. Weather coulden't have been any better.

I did to many people. Problem was I arrived there late Sunday and there were only 4 more heat races left. With the storm coming, most people were packing up rather quickly and didn't want to be a bother. That was the 1'st event there and I'm definately headed back again. Only a 40 minute drive for me so hopefully I'll see you sometime!

Scott,
That was the 1st Chesapeake Gas Clash Event held at Delmarva. Earl, Mike, Trent , John C, Danny, Ivan Ondrea, etc, etc, etc run there almost every weekend. The club host's a District event as well. I have gone there for the past 3 years and have had a great time every time. Delmarva Model Boaters club is part of IMPBA D12 (VA, NC,DE,MD)
Our district is currently in the middle of the D12 Race Season with 2 races left. the next high points race will be August 22-24 in Chesapeake, VA. hosted by Old Dominion Model Boat Association (ODMBA), then R/C Model Boaters of Baltimore September 26-28, 2008 Hagerstown, Maryland.
Everyone is welcome.
As far as getting there late, and only 4 heats left,,,you got to see the Trophy Dash's then. Top 6 Drivers from Sport Hydro, Mono, Cat, and Rigger...... 6 laps,,,winner takes all.
I have some really great pictures and some not so great as well as a video of the AeroMarine Turbine Cat boat, driven by John Finch.
I will try to upload to some the photos and video.

I've seen Remy's turbine cat at their shop, he showed it to me early this year. Looks amazing, of coarse wouldent let me take a picture of it, but hey, the memory is still there. Please post a link to that video, we would all love to see it!
