Georgetown will be hosting its first Club 40 racing event on Saturday March 28th for 2015. This is the first Club 40 race for central Texas for 2015. It appears the weather is looking good for that weekend but its Texas so I won't promise anything. Gary Fisher will be the CD.

Up date report on Bob Petrinec, Wednesday of this week Bob come home from his therapy from back surgery! He's got a hard painful road to recovery! I think one of these day's coming up I will see if I can get him out to the field and that will speed up that healing! :O)

Hey Scattermaster, what was that DLG you were flying at Waco last year ?

looks like the ground will be dry enough to get the pylons up on Wednesday so you guys that come in town on Friday will be able to get some laps in!

scattermaster

that was a Stobel V3.
several years ago it was the cutting edge competition glider. Not so much now, but those guys change/update their technology about as fast as computers do.
I like it. It launches high and has real long legs.

scattermaster

I'll be there on Friday for sure for the pre-race race...

Lol, I like them pre-race races....

scattermaster

Well the admiral spoke up today and it looks like I'm not leaving home till Friday evening so I'm gonna miss the pre-race.
Dang!
Hope I still know how to fly these things, I haven't been around a pylon since last year. Take it easy on me!

What a day!!. 11 planes lost, and we only had 14 pilots.
it would have been 15, but it appears Jennifer didn't give him his balls for the day.

Good job Skully.
Skully it would have been very bad for J.O. With you coming in second place he would have had a heart attack if he could even had "made it" into the mains. He must have known you were going to race
and he was a little frightened. Maybe we will see him in Waco on the 11th. Luckily for him you won't be able to attend. Second place behind Skully. I wish I had the power like you to make a racer stay at home.

I had a great time even though I broke two planes. Crazy racer mentality, I guess.

Squidman, so we have a new club (or S.I.G) the "Don't Cut Club" are you handing out member numbers?

Georgetown Club 40 race results. I would like to give special thanks to Steven Bird for bringing the scoring system down from Waco. Special thanks to Randy Rich for supplying the racing fuel, Riches Brew and also a special thank you to all the volunteers who worked as cut judges and scorers. It was very windy and the attrition rate was an all time record of 11 planes lost, mostly due to mid-airs. Race results. We had 14 pilots that started, after 5 heats, we only had enough to run the A and B main.
A-Main
1 Jim Plake - Fast time **1:32.00
2. Eric Desardi
3. Jerry Hellums
4. Jeff Large

B-Main
1. Eric Desardi
2. Jerry Stafford
3. Steve Blackwell
4. Steve Bird

Thank you all for coming. Bob Petrinec and the GAMA crew appreciates it.

Appears World Model stock will be going up. Is everybody still running Tt 40's or are we starting to see any new engines yet?

Richard Moll made up those stickers and I proudly have one on my window. Notice that it says "Don't cut", not "didn't cut".
Nothing is worst than making it to the "A" main and getting a cut to put yourself in last place. Even when your in last place.

Ken Erickson

Oldbob told me he needed to get in and do more trash talking. Being that he is a friend of mine I thought I might help out.

There was a Cub 40 race in Texas when the 14 pilots had 11 plane attrition. AND THEY LIKED IT!!!

You younger guys, under 60, might not get that. Hint: Dana Garvey as the Grumpy Old Man.

Here in Indiana, we will be able to go to the field and fly in about 3 weeks, if we wear galoshes and a heavy coat.

Your friend, Ken

We had all TT 40's the GMS 40 is a strong motor!

pylonboy26

Skully it saddens me to see that you had to have 80% of the competition crash just to get a 2nd. I also hear that you took out at least 2 planes yourself. Should we call you Kyle Busch or Juan Pablo Montoya. No wait......you are the Danica of Club 40!!!! lmao.

skull1971

At least I showed up.

skull1971

Well with Birds plane, the makes 7 kills for me now, comping up on double ace. That's ace with a "C."
