Our race season is over for this year but
we can still race in specialty races. We have the Pumpkin Scramble,
Turkey Trot and the Frost Bite Follies sponsored by Puget Sound Model
Boat Club. They run Nitro and Gas but we can race our electric boats in
these events also. Next year in District 8 we will be adding a couple of
electric classes as long as enough boats show up. This could lead to
some fun racing. We'll have more on this later. Also, in November, we
will have our winter meeting to plan for next year.
This year all NAMBA members will be voting for NAMBA
President, Vice President and 3 District Directors for districts 3, 9
and 19. I will not say who to vote for, but for President it boils down
to voting for the status quo of the last 8 years or for change and new
ideas. The ballot you will or have received and the NAMBA web site have
information from each candidate and their ideas on how to run NAMBA. Be
sure to check out the differences and cast an informed vote. No matter
who you vote for be sure to vote. This is your (the members)
organization and your vote counts. In the past some of the items up for
vote have not generated much turnout or interest. This is an important
election so be sure to vote. Remember, your vote must be
postmarked no later than October 25. If you lost or
misplaced your ballot you can download another copy from the NAMBA web
site.

will not be counted unless it is sent to the new address listed here. Do
not mail to the main NAMBA office address.

I have thrown down the gauntlet before on rule changes and rewriting the
Fast Electric rule book to stand alone (rule book updating in work). Now
I urge all NAMBA members to vote whether you favor the challenge with
new ideas or what we have had for the last eight years.
