Default RE: Summer Pylon Series at Lowes Motor Speedway

Mike,

The club races that FAPA is going to have on the first Saturday's are still on. We had a long meeting on 5/3 to approve new by-laws, so I didn't try to get anybody to come. But we did fly one heat and everyone liked it. It was the first time many had seen 3 planes duking it out. The club races are low-key. These 3 race weekends will be huge with lots of spectators.

I do need help running the races. I'm not a CD. So if Jay Marsh is available, it would be great to get him to CD one or more of the events. I will still act as the event director.

One of our new diversions is float plane flying.

I created a DVD of the float plane action at Humpy Wheeler's house on 5-4-2008. I will have copies out at the fields over the next few week for a nominal charge. Probably $2.

But I have uploaded the video to YouTube in 2 parts. The links are:
