July 2:nd we raced our 3:rd Swedish FSR-H (Outrigger hydros) and OTA (Stock outboard .21 tunnels) nats at a new race place just north of Örebro in the small "town" of Frövi.
Unfortunately there where not that many racers attending so the H15 and H27 class was canceled. That meant the race was run on one day.
The weather forecast for the weekend was far from good but the rain blew away at about 10 in the morning and just got better and better.
FSR-H3.5 - Top 3:
Mattias Bengtsson - 1500 p - Kep's 21 - NR - Futaba
Mr. Sunken - 1250 p - Kep's T2 - TecnoPower M03 - Futaba
The 3.5 class is by far the most popular heat racing class in Sweden and the one with the most competitive boats. Booth me and Mattias ended up with 1500 points after 5 heats so we had a run off for the win! I blew it by making a faulty start... Mattias was fast in my old Kep's rigger so I could only make up for half a lap but then his engine stopped 5 meters from the finish line but slowly moved over the line before I got by... ;)
In the 45 class I switched engine in my Kep's T2 .21 boat to a TecnoPower .23 motor and raced against the fast .45 boats... I made a couple of really good starts and held off for like 3 laps until the water went a little bit to rough for my 1.6 kg ".21" boat. I ended up in third place though! :)
