Default RE: AMA 424 Race Bloomington, IL June 20 & 21

All Ican say is WOW, what a great race venue !!! The Bloomington guys did a wonderful job in preperation of the field. This was a grass field that was mowed down and rolled like a golf course! AMAZING
Day1 was HOTHOTHOTHOTand HUMID. Racing was fantastic with several lead changes in every heat all day long. Ihad my share of "bad engine blues" do to losing half of a piston on and OLDTT40. Igot some parts from a friend and installed a new Piston and liner for day 2.
Day 2 greeted us with rain in the morning that let up around 9:30 and we started racing at 10:00 am sharp. We flew 6 rounds before the rain came back with EVERYheat being so close that you could have thrown a blanket over all 3 planes at any point. BIGFUN.
Thanks to all the course workers for sitting out in miserable heat on both days.
Great racing and great fun on both days. Ilook forward to the second race in Bloomington later this year and hope more of you can show up.
This was the first race ever forthe SIRS club..Iwould have to say..second to none, great job!
