RE: Northern CA racing
Good times for sure. I came into racing towards the tail end of that, but I had two good years of TONS of racing. It sure cut down the learing curve time.
Next week will be tough as usual. But I'm going to keep my head down and feet moving...
Thanks for the cheer,
RB

RE: Northern CA racing
There are AMA 424 and AMA 428 club races held at the Livermore flying field (EBRC). These races are casual in nature, however they will give you (and your caller) some on course practice. Turn lights and cut judges at pylon 1 are utilized and typically the starter will clip ya for a blatant cut at 2 or 3. No heat by heat points are kept, just bragging rights. Go to the EBRC website for the latest dates. Typically these are held the weekend prior to a LA or Medford race so us traveling folks can shake some cobwebs off. The 424 stuff does take priority over 428. Thus if they have a good 424 turnout, 428 may not be flown. New racers alway welcome.

Ecoli,
There are some warbird pylon races in SAC.
T-34 I believe, If you're into that.

RE: Northern CA racing
Thanks for all the replys. Livermore is about an hour away from me. Would I have to become a member to fly? I have flown for probably 20yrs but have never done any pylon racing. Are the guys that fly open to greenhorns?

Saturday August 12 1:00 PM is the next 424/428 race at Livermore. Don't need to be a club member, but should be a AMA member. New racers are ALWAYS welcome. This is a fun/great group of guys who will bend over backwaeds to help ya out. Come on down.
