RE: The third CAROLINA SPEED RALLY IS ON!!
Well Vic i got some bad news today. I am going to be unable to make it this year. My boss just informed me I have to work saturday. So i guess I will have to make sure I get my vacation time next year for the event. Maybe next year I can go kidnap Bob27 and drag him down. 
Hopefully some of you guys can get some video for those of us that could not make it.

Shorts for sure! It was 98 over the weekend. It'll be pretty hot up here too.

Got a nice package in the mail today from Jett Engineering of some really great pilot prizes.
I wish all you guys making the long trips a safe, enjoyable, and relaxing ride tomorrow. We will have a great time Saturday!

Man was it a scorcher!!!
With that in mind best wishes to Lee Reeves, he had a little incident with the heat. All the first responders etc doubled the attendance for a while.
Records are meant to be broken and they indeed were. From slowest to fastest we were all over. We even had an 85 mph heli go for it. I'll post more stuff as it becomes available but it was a super fun day.
Thanks to John and best wishes for Full Throttle Jets, Dub Jett and Jett Engineering, and Eddie's Planes and Trains for the support and pilot prizes for this event!
Those in my club and family who helped, you made this a super smooth event, thank you as well.

RE: The third CAROLINA SPEED RALLY IS ON!!
Hope you guys had a great day of speeding. I'm sorry we didn't make it down after all, myself and Rvman bailed on poor MJD[&o], I think he was pretty disappointed because he's been trying to get down there for a couple of years now, but he's been sick and wasn't willing to take the drive on his own which is understandable.
With my wife's new business of wedding decorating (which she has done for years but recently decided to go out on her own), its been kaos around here and I wasn't realistically able to take off for three or 4 days and leave her with my two boys by herself with three weddings to decorate for this weekend.[
] But anyways I hope all went well and I hope to take a whole week off next year and do some camping on the way down and back from the speed rally and make a holiday out of it, less rush if you know what I mean.
Cheers
Sorry Vic, I know you were looking forward to meeting us crazy canucks.

RE: The third CAROLINA SPEED RALLY IS ON!!
Thanks for sharing Electric Delta.!!
Some juicy Rpm's ripping there.
No west50v1 or 52v2 on the magnum for any of the speed trials?
Any body pull out any electric missles?
Or SD's?

RE: The third CAROLINA SPEED RALLY IS ON!!
vicman,
Sheila and I are home safe and sound. We had a great time and want to thank you and all of the members and their wives/girlfriends for that famous southern hospitality. You all made us feel welcome and at home. You can save us a spot next year for sure. I'm off to the house for a cocktail and some much needed rest. Again, thanks to all of you for a great event and a fun day and we'll talk to you soon. [8D]

RE: The third CAROLINA SPEED RALLY IS ON!!
Thanks for sharing E-Delta . . . I am glad I saw 211 mph in person, but the video is the next best thing. I'm impressed you did a great job following the planes with the camera.
