RACING
Although it is very enjoyable to go out and run the Miss
Vegas Deuce by yourself, the real fun and excitement of
R/C boating is experienced when you get involved in racing.
Racing against other boats is much different than running
your boat alone. The following suggestions will provide
helpful strategies when racing a model boat.
A good set-up for running alone may not be the best for
racing conditions. Race water conditions create challenges
different from running alone. Five or six boats racing against
one another will create rough water conditions on the race
course and to successfully compete in racing situations, it
may be necessary to “tighten” the ride characteristics.
Wakes caused by other boats can upset the balance and
ride characteristics of even a well trimmed model boat. When
running down the straight-aways, don’t follow in another
boat’s wake. Wakes generated by other boats while entering
and negotiating a corner are especially dangerous.
Racing other boats through a corner presents possibly the
greatest challenge. The fi rst corner after the start of a race can
be especially challenging. The boat entering the corner fi rst has
the task of holding its position (often called “holding your lane”)
through the corner and following boats must then attempt to
hold their lanes. Changing lanes and crossing a wake to gain
position in a turn can have disastrous results. Executing a good
start in the inside lane is one key to successful racing.
Avoid beating yourself. In any type of racing, there are some
situations you can control and other situations that you
cannot
control. The ability to set the needle-valve on the
engine so it runs the entire race without stopping, checking
the linkages, fasteners, fuel tubing, amount of fuel, glow
plug, and radio system are conditions/situations that can be
dealt with prior to the start of a race. During the race, making
a good start and driving defensively are controllable actions.
By focusing on tasks and actions that can be controlled,
successful racing outcomes can be achieved.
