Where is the Ione contest being flown? any directions to the field. I hear its' between ione and jackson???? Thanks alot.. Krishlan

Krishlan,

Here are the directions...

From the Bay area get to Hwy 580 and head east through Tracy on Hwy 205, when you come to Hwy 5 turn north toward Stockton. Take Hwy 4 East to Hwy 99 - go north and make the Hwy 88 turnoff at the Waterloo exit and drive east. Stay on this road for approximately 45 minutes and you will come to the Ione turnoff and there will be a sign there and you will come to downtown Ione ( don't blink ) or you will miss it. Turn left at the stop sign and follow the road out of town. and this will be Hwy 104. Approximately 5 miles out of town you will come to a fork in the road and stay right. This is Ione Michigan bar road and it goes toward Sacramento. A few miles down the road you will come to Carbondale road and turn right. This is the road to Eagle's Nest airport. A few miles down Carbondale road it will fork to the left and this is Lambert, stay left. You will come to driveway on the left hand side of the road and this is the one you will take. Signs will direct you at this point.

If you get lost - give Dick Belden a call at 209-274-0893.

The flying site is at Eagle's Nest airport - a private airport - where at least 3 (or more) full size Reno racers are stabled.

That was fast. Thanks alot Derek. Hope to see you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!
