2009 WARBIRD RACING DATES - WEST COAST
Hi Guys,
Since we are moving into 2009 and club schedules are being made, can you post your clubs Warbird Races on this link if you are in Callifornia, Nevada, Arizona and Oregon.
Since I am not running any races this year, I would like to venture out and race at a couple other clubs. Also this will allow others who would like to do the same.
Thanks Kevin

The only thing different is that at Tucson, you have to run mufflers on 4 strokes due to an agreement with the land lord. You can bore out the muffler however.
The Hesperia race is at our new field. You can check it out at our website, www.vvrcf.org.

Hey, Mongo!
Put on your big boy pants and come race with us.
It's kind of like Q500 or Q40, only with a much more diverse choice of airframes, you get to use a bigger engine, can modify the engine, and can use as much nitro as you dare. Bring Presta while you're at it (tell him it's a jet rally if you must). You guys are ALWAYS a blast!
Hope to see you at Speedworld-
Tony

RE: 2009 WARBIRD RACING DATES - WEST COAST
I am looking at doing a USRA race in late Sept or early Oct. Trying to work around the TAS and other local stuff.
Last year at El Mirage we had a ton of 80" sundowners and I hope for the same. We had over 60 entries and did it all on a 2 month lead time due to many unforseen problems.
I am looking at holding this years race at Rabbit Lake Bed.
Still4givin, let me know the firm dates you choose as we will be close.
Some of your racers are also racing USRA again this year.

Mflood,
The dates above are set for the RCPRO warbird races.
I plan to run in the Sundowner class when you guys are here. I just put one together with a ST 2300. Haven't flown it yet. Rabbit Dry Lake would be a cool place to hold your event. Our club is also talking about running a Sundowner race at our field in June. I'll post something here when we get a date set.

Scott Morasci
Mark Stevenson
John Lockwood
J.D. Johnson
Jose Macias
Joey Silva
J.D. Johnson

26-27th Sacramento SAM Warbird
October:
1st Morgan Hill T-34 Race
25th Sacramento Warbird
November
7th Madera Warbird Race
If you guys decide you have a AT-6 class, I may fly as well.

Looks great
I have posted the West Coast Race Dates
Oct 15 (tech and range check) and racing starting on Oct 16 thru 18 with Sun being the Trophy Races and championship series battles.
Looks to be a great venue if the rains stay clear.
I am allowing every class with the minimal entries of 3 planes per class to start and every class to pay out.
This will be an AMA and USRA sanctioned event so AMA membership as well as USRA is mandatory.
I suspect the Sundowner class will be huge again this year as will the GT and F1 classes. There are at least 3 new Unlimited planes I know of and hopefully more making that class around a dozen as well.
I am glad our dates didnt clash. It is nearly impossible to please everyone, but I tried and I hope as many can make it as last year.
Desert Aircraft and Horizon Hobbies are our Main Sponsors for the Series and Hobby People and others are sponsoring this particular race as well, it has the makings to be the grand finale we are accustomed to. You bring that T6.
We needed one more last year to have a class and missed it by that one.

Bummer,
That is the same weekend as the final RCPRO warbird race in Phoenix. Oh well, can't win them all.
You will probably still be able to get some of the guys from our club to help. Only a few of us make the trek to Phoenix.

Kevin,
This is an awesome tool WOW!!
This post needs to be in its own thread or as a header for pylon racing. Too bad someone couldnt have a designated section just for racing where we put our dates in and it chronologically puts it where it needs to be. Moderators??????????????
Lets make racing a coomunity and not seperate islands. Please help us out??
Thx Kevin

OMG. August is a brutal month to be in the valley racing. Any month other than August!!! Last year's schedule was awesome. Please, please, please, don't put an all day race event in the hottest month of the year. Have mercy.

The date for the August race has been established as August 2nd. Not sure if they are going to call it the Big Kahuna 2 or something like the sweat fast or hot august races etc............ But the date has been approved and added to the calendar.

RE: 2009 WARBIRD RACING DATES - WEST COAST
Now that is an original paint scheme . For some reason it reminds me of a 50/50 bar (that orange ice cream pop with vanilla in the middle).Which class is that going to race in? Was that an ARF or a kit?

RE: 2009 WARBIRD RACING DATES - WEST COAST
I scratch built it from a set of ziroli plans. The paint scheme is off of the Gulfhawk 4 Bear cat, I just got tried of taping and didn't do the two pin stripes down the fuselage. This will be my first race down there but from what I've been told it should be in the silver class if I get the engine broke in in time
