What you people fail to understand is.... There have been several articles send in about the on road stuff happening with Port Charlotte’s Races and Forgas Races. I know for a fact that Gary has had and issue with Dawn dating back many issues about articles he has sent in.



This has nothing to do with “Off Road” the article was great, but at the same time Dave Larry send in articles about On Road and nothing was posted. This has happened several times this is why there is an issue. I’m not exactly sure how many times Dave has send articles but I am sure it’s more then once or twice.

we all know what good voting does...

What good is voting? When you vote someone in and they before taking, that job backs down. You would think the runner up would have the job.... but instead mysteriously someone else who was not even on the ballot was voted in..... seems to me like pure bull!!!

What a joke this is…. And to hear the reason why Gary wasn't given the spot is far more hilarious.

can i suggest we pay mike boylan for a whats "happening in florida r/c" web site? i do not think it would cost alot per month and we could divide up the dues....fsear,forgass,dirt oval,focar,snowbirds,stricklands,hobby world...list goes on and on...

one web site will race reports,race dates and a swap and sell area just for florida!

we submit the articles to boylan and he puts them on the site..if not boylan maybe potter?

no more rev up BS a nice easy to follow web site for florida racers to get all there info at..

no forums! just info!

Isn't that why we all post here on rc tech?

RCThunder

Yes it is. But doesn't everyone's eyes get hurt trying to find actual RC content and news and not drama and gossip?

AMEN!!!!! Mike.

rcgen

Excellant idea...a one stop website with all of Florida's r/c racing from weekly club racing, state series, pop up races. Articles even better...no hassles from bias organizations or groups. A united R/C Florida racing website. It's a win win situation for all.

Here is the race report from Race 7 at Port Charlotte:

The final race of the 2006/07 FORGASS Series was held at a new track to the series. Charlotte R/C Raceway in Punta Gorda was the location. Friday the track opened at noon as a few racers wanted to get a jump on checking out this new track. However Mother Nature had other plans. So with the afternoon rain practice was washed out.

In the 1/10th Sedan class we had 39 drivers show up to test the new asphalt. After the 4 rounds of qualifying were done there were only 2 racers to turn 21 laps. The fastest time was recorded by Robert Maestrey with 21 laps in 5:13.07. D.J. Apolaro was a close 2nd with 21 laps in 5:14.42.

With the lap times being close the mains were going to be exciting to watch. In the D-Main the race was fun to watch. With 1 racer testing the walls to make sure they were tough. After the time expired it was Denise Burton-Clarke showing the way with 61 laps in 20:12.62, in 2nd was Jack “The Wall Tester” Ross with 43 laps in 18:45.47 and 3rd was Martin Johnson with 34 laps in 12:10.76.

The bump up winner was Peter Breton with 91 laps in 25:08.91. The A-Main was expected to be a close race but 1 racer really lead from start to finish dominating the field. Danny Horta was the guy in this race. He can claim something that no one else can. He won the first A-Main at Charlotte R/C Raceway. He finished with 114 laps in 30:06.03.
