You lucky dogs! We can't find even ONE lake in our area to run on! Is the pond by the flying field salt water? Looks like a canal running off of it. minicatracingusa.com/WFMBCHOME.html |

nope its fresh water and the canal just goes a few thousand feet and dead ends if we ever have big races were going to block it off with rope and pool noodles but there never boats and ya theres a flying field on the front side of the park

Yea, thats great. I might go this weekend. They also run large gas boats every sunday at the lake in front of the sheriffs office on Gladiolus, 60mph gas hydros - I'f you want to run big gas stuff thats the place to go. I'd like to find
4 - 6 people that would be interested in racing a 1/12 electric hydros. The new UL-1 from aquacraft is fast out of the box. They are smaller and more affordable, at only $300 each plus batteries. It would be a blast to race them.
