• For
“drag racing”
place the buoys similar to the above sketch.
•For
“oval racing”
place the buoys similar to the above
sketch.
NOTE:
The above patterns are not based on any sort
of official standards; therefore, you may set up racecourses
any way you desire, using your imagination to make the races
more interesting. Usually the smaller courses will provide
more action and excitement.
The length of the races can be determined by a set number of
laps
around the buoys (for example, the first boat to complete
5 laps is the winner); or by
time
(for example, whoever is
leading at the end of two minutes is the winner).
The Waiting Game
If your Nitro Hammer should happen to stall or capsize, water
currents will
slowly
carry it to shore. The bad news is that the boat
could be carried to the opposite shore. When surveying areas to
run your Nitro Hammer, keep in mind things like wind direction,
size of the lake, strength of river currents, etc.
HELPFUL TIP:
Use
a fishing rod with at least 12lb. line and a tennis ball tied to the
end to retrieve a stalled or capsized model boat.
GOOD LUCK AND GREAT BOATING!
