2021 NAMBA Nats Race Program

Also initiated in the building of the model boat driver’s stand, was a Time Capsule Raffle Program. The Time Capsule was buried in the drivers stand, along with several outstanding prizes and was opened in 2014 (25 years later). Included in the time capsule was a diamond ring and a rare coin from Hannes Tulving Rare Coin Investment Firm, just to name a few of the very outstanding prizes that were waiting for the lucky raffle prize winners from 1989! The approximate total Sponsor Donations were $19,000! Some of the raffle prizes are listed below:  Any Prather Products Deep Vee or Tunnel model boat kit. Including the Lap Cat I, 11, 111.  A Prather Products Radio Box Kit, motor mount, cable set, hatch cover and stainless steel prop.  A K&B engine to match any Prather boat kit you select.  One dozen K&B glow plugs.  A gallon of any type K&B fuel.  A pistol grip, two channel radio, Futaba or J&R. Bill Bridge - one of the raffle winners in March 1989 Tom Cinquegrani, Vince DiMatteo, Jim Osborne, and Mark Grim helping to unearth the time capsule in 2014. In 2008 the parks department approached Mark Grim who was the liaison for the model boaters and Legg Lake at the time. The park advised that they were given additional funds for the year and would the model boaters like to update the drivers stand? That was a BIG YES! Mark and Kim Grim together with the parks department, and several meetings later, designs were drawn to give the old drivers stand a new face lift. Between the Legg Lake key fund account and the parks department funding, a permanent shade cover was designed, and installed. New handicap ramps and a larger ready/backup pit area was made, along with new fencing, at a cost of $14,000, give or take a few dollars. We the model boaters of NAMBA District 19 are very happy to invite you to Legg Lake and our drivers stand in South El Monte, California, for the 2021 NAMBA Nationals!
