Status: offline 		Today in Austin, Chuck Waller threw down the gauntlet and challenged some of the Club 40 Raider pilots with his Q25 Viper/OS 25FX on a 396' 2 pole course so we could get a better idea of the comparable speeds...Result: almost IDENTICAL SPEEDS! From what I saw, the Raiders will turn a little tighter but the Q25 regains some speed in the straights.

On Saturday, March 1, 2008, we are holding a practice race on the spacious Waco, TX field...(900+ ft.. runway); this gathering is to let pilots from different clubs throughout Texas get to know each other and enjoy some low-key competition and to better understand the different classes of racing held throughout the State. Hopefully, some of the Q25 guys and Club 40 guys will mix it up during the same race to up the fun factor - Join us if you can. Map to the field is on the HotMac website (http://www.hotmacrc.org/) We'll crank it up around 9:00 a.m. BRING YOUR OWN FUEL and a HARD HAT. Even if you have never raced, please come and fly some laps and get to know some new and friendly folks! This will be more of a Fun Fly / Racing / Meet your Neighbor type of flying...emphasis on FUN!

I have flown my LA racer against the Q-25 planes last summer, but this is the first time I have flown my Q-25 viper against some of the BEST club 40 pilots Texas has to offer! Of course, that means the best club 40 pilots in the WORLD!!! The little Q-25 Viper held it's own for about 20 laps till I ran out of fuel!

Also got a chance to fly the Q-25 against a couple of 424 planes. The Q-25 did get smoked there! The 424 planes were about 15 - 20 MPH faster IMHO.

Looking forward to the practice race in Waco next week. Should be a load of fun!

Chuck

If you want something special, you might want to bring it.

Bring them over to Waco and I will accept the challenge - either way. My q-25 vs. your 'Raider or My LA Racer vs. your Q-25!

I have a feeling there will be several such challenges this weekend as we will have some of the top pilots in each class at the field at the same time!

This is going to be fun!

Status: online 		"Smack Talk" is a BIG portion of the fun at all of our events!

They often hear the call "Ya'll better move over, I'm coming through!!!"

or - "Jim still holds the record for the most cuts in a 10 lap race!"

Can't wait for Saturday! This will be the first time we have seen most of the pilots since November.
