World Cup 2014 Smith Creek Nev.

shehatesmyhobbies - 23-9-2013 at 09:32 AM

Hello members, I have been in communication with Oliver Cannick, a FISLY member and interested Class 8 WC 2014 participant. He has been involved with the meetings about the upcoming WC being held at Smith Creek playa in Nevada July of next year. There are still many meetings being held about the event and the possibility of Class 8 Racing.

What is required is at least 16 racers and a minimum of 10 helpers, the helpers can be NAPKA members or race Pilots themselves. At this time I am not sure what type of roll NAPKA would play as far as governing the races, or NAPKA will just be helping the process.

If you are interested CLICK HERE so that you can get the dates and locations. Please get back to me and let me know if you are seriously interested. Meetings are still going on and they want to know if we can cover their requirements for helpers and race pilots. All Pilots do not need to be in North America, some racers are also coming from over seas as well, not sure on the amount.

who's riding for what country? USA isn't world cup, lol.

The FISLY WC is a land sailing event, they have had several buggy pilots asking if there could be a kite race at the same time for the guys and gals that do both. It would not necessarily be a WC for Class 8. I am still awaiting details.

Rich, whats your gut feeling about it really happening?
I need to save a lot of $$$$$ for a few TR's that I hope to send and compete. The sooner the better my friend.

That ideal job you said I have is not as good as you think, I still have to work and save.:P
