Thanks, Dan. Sorry for the smudges in the frames, everyone. I tried to clean the lenses and the internal mirror, but my efforts made no difference. It must be something else internal. I will have to get the camera professionally serviced and cleaned before next season.

Regarding results . . . I checked on the Sacramento Area Modelers' website, too; and no updates there yet, either. JR worked his butt off, so he probably needs a week of down-time just to recuperate. I know I'm still nowhere near caught-up on chores, and all I had to do was fly! I know it is important to him - he'll get them posted as soon as he is able to.


To JR and all our sponsors, guests, workers, and fellow pilots: "Thank you" for a truly outstanding weekend. Little else compares to being with all of you!

(And, It is always a longer winter in the absence of so many of you.)

Luckily, we still have the "Two-Minute Tango" in October. Hope to see you there.

Originally, I had uploaded the pictures I took on Day 1 (Saturday) to PicasaWeb. I have since deleted my Google account, and my albums on that Google-controlled site have all been deleted. However, today I opened an imgur account, and the images for this race are now viewable from this link:

I hope you enjoy them. I have now posted those taken on Day 2 (Sunday), as well. Thanks again to TommyGun for manning my camera and getting many shots of my Fw190 in action, as well. (I rarely get to see pictures of my own airplanes in action, as I am more often than not the one taking the pictures.)

The race was a success with the help of all the workers and sponsors. All the workers volunteered their own time to come help put on the race for all the pilots. If you see the people that helped, please shake their hand and say Thank You!!!!! The races would not get off the ground without them!!!! I like to give special Thanks to Jim Smith (Skids) for all the help prior and day(s) of the race. He has been a huge help to get the race going and to be a success. Bottom line is that it took a group effort to make it a very successful and fun race.

I had a lot of help from Sponsors. Special Thanks our huge sponsors – YS Engines, APC Props, JR America Radios, Gold Country Ace Hardware and Hobbys, and B.J. Healis. Also Special Thanks to all of our other sponsors - RC Country, Great Planes, Servo City, World Models, RTL Fasteners, BSI Adhesives, RC-Lights, Sig MFG, Tree Topper Tree Service, Jim Smith, Peg Sweeny, Mike Smith, and Sergio Varo. Please remember to support our sponsors as they support us!!!!

We had 3 heats on Saturday and 2 heats and mains on Sunday. The weather was awesome and lots of great racing with very low percentage of loss planes. We had a great lunch time show put on by Chip Hyde and Shawn Berkheimer, Thank You to the both of you for showing us that awesome flying!!! There were pilots from all over like Nevada, Oregon, and all over California. There also was a pilot (Marty Flood) that came from Utah and 1 pilot flew in from Japan (Tetsuo Yamada). Thanks to all the pilots that came and entered because if it was not for you, there would be no races.

This two day race is getting bigger and bigger each year and looking forward to the future to see what the Trashman & YS Classic Warbird Race can bring.

You can go to our website (www.sacramento-rc-flyers.org) to see all the results for this race and the final year results.

JR,

You missed thanks to perhaps the most important person who worked at this race, Yourself, I hope I can speak for everyone at the race when I say thank you for all that you do. Without your tireless work we would not get to have our fun. Thank you for all you do, I can't wait to come fly with you all again and to race again next year.
