Sounds good Skully!!

For those in the know about the City of Waco, can you tell me where is a good place to stay and places to avoid ?
Im guessing Skully would have me check in at a room at the Branch Davidian Hotel and Bible College !!

There are three hotels close to the field I will check them out and see if I can get us a deal on them.

Say it aint so and lets hope its just a rumor going around.
I just ordered me 5 of the 'SkullyCrusher' type of speed props . Maybe that will help me to overtake him on the 1st lap of the race?

You have to get off the ground and to the first pylon, before trying to run me down. You can ask most here in Texas, I'm pretty good at getting the jump on starts, after that is where i suck!!

We'll all still have fun regardless.
Is the runway there grass or asphalt?
I need to know whether to install my skyraider tundra tires or the Talladega racing slicks

You can check to see who is regestered by going to www.c40nats.com      or www.club40nats.com
 and then clicking on regestration then event club 40

The runway is 75 by 800 paved and the polls are set up like they should be with poll #1 about 100 feet south of the start line and poll #2 300 feet north of the start line.

The polls are much closer to the runway than they were in Alabama and calling should be much easer

Yes the field will be open all week, if you arive and find the field gate locked call me I will leave my number on the gate and I will open it up for you.  The polls are easy to set up and take down.

This is my thinking: If you fly good all weekend and have a perfect score,you shouldnt have to fly another heat race and take the chance of losing an airplane,the race,( a muffler) lol.....racers should be rewarded for their heat races. We do the a b c mains locally and I dont mind. A championship race should be a minimum 8 rounds and fly-off ties. Just my two cents

Status: offline 		Here's a suggestion. Finish the contest up with all places determined in the regulation heat races. Then make the A, B, and C Main's like a Trophy dash. It would be optional. The A Main would be the top 4 finishers. The B and C main's would be made up of the 8 fastest times outside of the top 4. This would keep some people from dropping out if they had a bad day Saturday. Over the years this has been done at a number of other races. It could even be a Calcutta event where everyone threw in $10.00 or $20.00, and the winner takes all? A variation would be to only 'seed' the top 3 flyers in the A, and B Main, and let the winners of the C Main and B Main move up. Greg

Most every race it is stated that you have to go around the pylon on the first turn, but in reality it seldom happens. Unless each pilot is below the top of the pylon,

the cut judge can only see that you broke the plane. ( no pun intended). A second, vectored judge would be needed to verify that the pilot went around.

I stay low on the start and go around the pylon. It makes me lose a little bit, but I hate cuts.

Here is a list of those regestered for the Club 40 Nats, If your name is not on it you are not regestered. At this time there are only 25 pilots regestered and at least one of these has said they were doubtful if they would make it due to work.

If the numbers do not improve the race may be canceled. I need to know by this weekend and will make the decision Monday.

Why would you cancel the race???? Even if we have 25 we still have a good race. I would like to have 100 entries but know its not gonna happen. I know of at least 6 people that arent on that list that have told me personally they will try to make it.

If you don't cancel, I'll see you friday afternoon on the 12th.

I will get them on the list.  I was hoping to see Randy Ritch and Dub Jett on the list
