Electric Radio Controlled Unlimited
ERCU is a club that was formed in the Seattle area by a dedicated group of individuals who enjoy building and racing models of some of the great and not-so-great unlimited class hydroplanes from the past and present. All boats in the club are 1/10-scale in size, which means they are roughly three feet long and just over a foot wide. They must include all of the features that the full-size version had, including engine cowlings, exhaust stacks and windshields. The club’s race schedule usually consists of 14 races each year, with 10 events in the Puget Sound region, one in Centralia, and a handful in the Portland/Vancouver area. The schedule typically runs from the middle of April to the beginning of October, and some ERCU races are even held in conjunction with local community celebrations such as Maple Valley Days (Maple Valley, Wash.) and the Portland Rose Festival.

Rose City Model Yacht Club
1/10th scale electric unlimited hydro. When the 2010 Rose City Model Yacht Club season starts, a new addition to the race day schedule will be in place. For the first time, 1/12-scale boats will be a part of the racing schedule. Two hulls are legal for this class - the Pro Boats 1/12-scale boat, and the Aqua Craft UL-1 hydro - and both must be run out of the box, though custom props are allowed in this class. The intent of this class is to provide an opportunity for easy and inexpensive entry into fast electric hydroplane racing and Rose City Model Yacht Club.

Molalla R/C Association

Daves RC Tracks
WELCOME RACERS TO THE 2010 SEASON! The season has begun and racing is already underway! This year we are running oval under the lights on Saturday nights. Off-road racing is held two Saturdays and two Sundays a month. As the weather is still a little rainy, racing is dependent on mother nature’s cooperation. Watch the calendar or follow our thread on RCTech to get the latest on when the gates will be open. We have two exciting championship races planned this season for the off-road track as well as a "first of its kind" multi day event that is sure to be a don't miss race! For the oval we are working on a points series championship to crown the king or queen of left turning, dirt burning! We also have a new class this season for oval racing. Outlaw Sedan has been added to the lineup based on 4wd Touring Car chassis!
