NAMBA March 2021 Web

The 50 th NAMBA Nationals is a celebration as much as it is a competition. We will celebrate our history and the people who gave their time and efforts to create this organization; an organization that has grown and adapted to changes over the past 50 years. Previous NAMBA Nationals have welcomed model boat racers from many countries around the world. Hopefully we have gained as much learning from them as we have offered in return. The 50 th NAMBA Nationals is a national race and national NAMBA rules will be in effect. You can refer to the NAMBA Rule Book at NAMBA.com . Please enter early. The entry cutoff date is June 30, 2021, with an incentive for early entry. If you enter before May 1, 2021 you will receive two free tickets for a special raffle of a Ready- To-Run gas boat. We understand that some may be hesitant to enter too early, as they are unsure if they will be able to attend until later for various reasons. To help alleviate that concern we will be offering full refunds for anyone wanting to cancel their entry up through July 31, 2021. Controlled open water will be available on Thursday September 16th starting at 12pm thru 5pm and continuing Friday September 17th from 8am through 5pm. Time permitting, non-controlled open water will be available at the end of each race day for only the classes that run the following day. No one will be allowed to bring in trailers or set up pits prior to 8:00 am on Thursday. Please do not arrive early to get in line, as that will only block the race site entrance. This will not be a first there, first choice of pit areas. You will be directed to an area for your trailer and pits. Only event staff and commercial trailers will be allowed in the drivers’ stand area. All others will be assigned a spot depending on trailer size. There is a place on the entry form where we are asking for information on your trailer, please make sure to fill it in for us to help with this planning. There will be an overnight security guard every night during the event. Please remember, overnight camping is not allowed inside the Park. There will be four separate evening social events during the race – a Welcome Party, Paddleboat Party, President’s Dinner, and the Awards Banquet/Dinner. Be certain to list how many people will attend each event - even those events with no charge, as this will help us ensure we have enough food for all that plan to attend. Remember you get one banquet ticket with your event entry, so only additional banquet tickets will need to be purchased with your entry. Event tickets will be included in your driver’s packet for the people and events you requested, these tickets will be necessary to attend the social events (no ticket - no entry). Come join us in this celebration. We look forward to seeing you at the races and at our social events.
