April Propwash 2018 web.pub

Another exciting moment for our district was being able to share in the success and FUN many of us had at this years NAMBA Nationals held in Las Vegas, Nevada hosted by the TOP notch District 19 group. It is always hard for me to wrap up an article and determine where to leave off. This year we are continuing our Tri-State Series and bringing back the Stock Mono class in hopes of providing a cost effective option for the new boaters. (Continued on page 18) racing and raffle prizes I have seen in years with the fun factor being off the charts. So I would have to say mission accomplished. We are already working on version two of the series and we are excited to see it continue to grow. I would like to invite you ALL to join us for the 2018 three race series. You can find more details at www.namba20.com or follow us on our Face Book page NAMBA District 20. 2017 Rocky Mountain Shoot Out Series Champions: A Mono: Robert Gillespie B Hydro: Chris Bopp Classic Thunderboat: Nathan Howden Open Gas Catamaran: Karl Loveless Open Gas Mono: Robert Holland P-Limited Offshore: Cade Holland Q Sport Hydro: Karl Loveless Of course we also had plenty of action in the normal district heat racing format throughout the year. Our normal racing season started in late April and finished by mid-September which creates a fast and furious schedule. I would like to thank Jim and Tracy Osborne from District 19 and Al Hobbs from District 8 for attending several of our races and always supporting our efforts.
