The World Cup 2014 is going to be held in the USA. Does anybody know if class 8 is also going to be there?

I hadn't even thought about that. Will have to try to find out. And if not, why

WHAT? More info

Yes! Where and when................. well, and how?

It is supposed to be in Smith creek Nevada.
I have recieved emails asking if class 8 will also be particapating or will it just be sails?

So this is a landsailer thing.

Class 8 belongs to Fisly, so the WC usually happens all together. At least that is how it works in Europe.
It would be really cool to run class 8 in the USA, but I am sure it is going to be very hard to do.
If anyone has any info please let me know.

Hi all,
I am not involved in, but I could be able to ask FISLY how they manage to get classe 8 on WC in Smith Creek !
In Cherrueix 2 weeks ago classe 8 pilots represented 1/4th of the pilots participating, this should be important !!

I would be happy to see this event (class 8 WC in the USA), and if necessary, I would like to help as race-master !

The only thing would be to know do the buggy club of the US want to get this WC, and be part of the organisation ?

Oooopppsss:wee:

Obviously I can't speak for the club, but as a member of NAPKA I would most definitely like for this to happen. I say let's do it.

Well if you need help let me know, I will help however I can!

Sounds like there is interest in getting class 8 World Cup Racing to North America

The real question is how many pilots from this side of the pond will compete?

No point in having all these world class pilots come over and just compete against each other like they could back home

~2 years to get it together... should be doable:wee:

Let's pretend I know but am asking for the benefit of others................ What is "class 8"? :duh::duh:

FISLY is land yahting. Class 8 is basically a kite buggy class

In the FISLY organisation (as for ISAF for sailing) it is organised with class (less or more specific).

The 2 classes the most important on last WC, and for practice is : mini-yacht (include blokart and so on) and class 8 which mean kite-buggy, kite-bike, ....

Most important do not mean that representation in the political council is on the same level.

Wow, how is this coming about? Who is the North American contact?

Smith Creek Nevada ???? What is there ?

Do the Euro's know what a pathetic race scene we have here? Are they coming all this way to teach us? :dunno:

Like Eli says !

BBob, it was clear to me you knew what class 8 was when you said it is a land sailor thing ! ;-)

I wondered if Class 8 was just yet another landsailer thing. You know, big ones, little ones, and medium sized ones.

I have been corresponding with tototo via email and he has passed along my contact info to the FISLY council so that we can possibly get some info here. It does look like there will be Class 8 races. Once I get some info, I will pass it on.

sahweeet!!!

:puzzled:

so....original thread post is about land sailers coming as part of FISLY and asking if kite buggying( class 8) will be a part of event...

...races w buggys?

any more information available?
