Any type of popular/growing pylon racing is helping to build a general pylon racing participation base, which is good. I feel the growing popularity of two pole racing is exposure. The Warbird "Triangle Series" held at Sacramento, Lodi, Morgan Hill are very popular two pole pylon racing programs. Why? I believe because the future "go fast turn left" pilots are only exposed to the two pole racing format. If the up and coming pylon racers were exposed to a "Basin Type" AMA 0.40 size 3 pole event they would be hooked and popularity would grow. As a "Newbie" to AMA 0.40 racing the help and mentoring at the event is excellent(Bill V. thanks for the trim setup suggestions and Gale E. thanks for the hardware loan). Some how, us three pole guys, need to spark intrest at the local flying fields. Sport fly a 428. Let the future racers see the speed, turning radius and low-speed handling characterists af these racers. Help people get a AMA 424(APRA) plane setup and drag them to a 3 pole 0.40 race.

Thanks to all the San Fernando Valley Flyers out there who helped make the Nov 17 Basin race such a success
