All,

The Texas City Radio Control Club will be hosting its annual Mark Weiss Memorial Club 40 Race on October 8th. Registration will begin at 9 am and racing should begin about 10:30. I hope to see you all there. Attached is the flier for the race with all the details. Please let me know if you plan to attend in order that I can properly plan for the race.

Thanks

Currently I only have one firm comittment for the race and one if he's not working. At this point I am planning on cancelling the race if more people do not commit. I will leave it open for a couple more days to see if interest picks up.

Status: offline 		Don, this is strange. There should be enough guys just in the Alvin and Texas City clubs to put on a race. I hope the Club 40 event isn’t dying; just when I’m at the top of my game. There must be a lot of young guys out there that can’t wait to beat this old guy, but on the other hand, there may be some that are afraid of being beat by an old man.

If you must cancel the event, just send me the 1st, 2nd and third place trophies. Don’t save them for another event because thumb suckers don’t deserve trophies.

From Georgetown you will have Ken Hopson, Gary Fisher, Mike Fisher and me. I think several of the Waco guys are planning to be there. But they will have to speak for themselves.

I’m as frustrated as you are, because I’ve been burning a lot of practice fuel.

Bob

One will be out of town and the other does not have a plane to race. I have not heard from any of the Alvin guys. I will wait a couple of days to make my decision.

Lets all not forget, it wont be long until winter comes and then we will have to wait until the spring thaw next year to race again, so you'd better get your Club40 swerve on while you can!!
Ante up and yall put on a good show!!!!
If I was closer I would certainly come out and get it on with all of yall.

I'll ask at the field on Saturday, the normal club racers will be there at our Warbird FlyIn.  I'm uncommmited at this point for personal reasons, but will try to make it, if things work out.

We are looking good for a race next Saturday. I just needed to make sure we had enough competitors. Sounds like at least 4 from the Georgetown area and 4 or 5 from the Waco area. With the Texas City guys and the Alvin guys, we should be in good shape. Looking forward to good weather and good competition.

Don

Bob is going to get..........by me . Pylon racing is strong in Waco and I would hate to miss it.

Well I took the blade out of and old Kitchenaid blender, and now the engine is at 28k, plus it eats balsa like a fat kid at a cake buffet. This is gonna be "Death Race 2011"

And I just got my e "stock" engine back from Vipper products and it is supposed to be able to turn a 10.5 X 4.5 at 28,000 RPM.

Both of us are having trouble with flutter and the covering staying on.

I doubt Skully will let us use his Sky Blender before the race starts. There's a chance it will be available after the first heat though.

Is your weather man mostly correct or mostly wrong? Do we stay home; or drive for four hours with the possibility of either sitting around and talking or racing. I will feel good with whatever decision you make.
