12th Annual Trashman & YS Classic Warbird Race (9-23-17 thru 9-24-16)
12th Annual Trashman & YS Classic Warbird Race.
9-23-17 thru 9-24-17
Please read the forum below about the changes made on 8-1-17
This race is going to be the biggest race Warbird Race ever!!! Get ready early as time flys fast and you will not want to miss this race!!!!!! Manufactures are already sending donations so they don't miss out either.
It will be a 2 day race and will be accepting 75 registrations depending on how many per class to make the matrix full with even numbers.
I will release the registrations for the Trashman & YS Classic on July 16, 2017 at 12:00 pm. I am doing this so that nobody registers to early and blocks off a spot and can not make it.
If you like to be a sponsor or part of this great race, please contact me (JR) at (916) 705-7778.

Well, I can already vouch that I can't make this race. I can't miss 2 days of work (Thursday travel/prep day, and Friday race day) with just a month into the school year. With even more racers on the field and limited pit space, people will be reserving/holding pit spots into Tuesday/Wednesday. Bummer, not trying to be a wet blanket, but I am just voicing my concerns. I love racing with everyone at the field and look forward to springtime to see all my friends, make salsa, eat food, enjoy libations from our favorite bartender, and everything else that goes with it. I will just say to the powers that be, be mindful with the future direction of the racing series. Yes there are pros to growing the race program, but also recognize the costs involved as well.

Jake,
I am sorry that you can not make it. I understand your concern but I truly believe that making this a huge race will be good for the series and will also be great for the industry. This race has seamed to catch a lot of attention of future warbird racers. I am hoping that with a 3 day race, we pull in a lot of people from other places to help this style of racing grow. You are right, we will not have enough pit tables but with our huge parking lot, there will be plenty of room for popups and portable tables like we did on the last Trashman & YS Classic.
I hope things change and you are able to make it!!!!!

Nice
I think the 3 day event is awesome and will bring in more guys from a far. I understand the logistics of the extra time off, especially for guys like Jake who run the whole year as far as the series goes. Lots of understanding there for sure. But it will help the sponsors, vendors and the club as well.
looking forward to this event, if my schedule allows it. Always a great race JR.

Well guys, after all the confusion on scheduling, this is the final date. Sorry about rescheduling and rescheduling on top of rescheduling. This year has had so many conflicts so I hope this works out for 99.9% of you. If some reason Mather Air Show changes then I will have to change it again but they said they are set on the date so we should be good to go now.

Change of Date of Racing (Please Read)
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
I talked to a lot of the racers this last Weekend. After considering people life's and circumstances, I have decided to make this race a 2 day race instead of the 3 days.
Practice will be on Friday 9-22-17
Race will be 9-23-17 thru 9-24-17
I will be running 3 heats plus part of the 4th heat on Saturday (time allowed) to cut back on some of the heats on Sunday to help everyone get our earlier on Sunday.
If you are registered for more classes then you want for a two day race, please contact me ASAP to open the slots for other racers that want in. I will be capping off at:
15 Bronze Pilots
75 Total pilots then filling in the last heats of each class
LIst of Registered Pilots are located at Trashman Racing Registered Pilots
If you do not see your name on the list then go to Warbird Racing to register.
I am currently working with La Quinta Inn & Suites in Rancho Cordova on cut rates. I hope to have an confirmed price by tomorrow.
If you have any questions or comments, please call me at (916) 705-7778.

UPDATE ON BRONZE!!!!!
I just opened up Bronze to 20 pilots to try and get everyone in. Here is the deal, depending on allowable time, I may have to run in the Bronze class only is 4 heats and main instead of 5 heats and main. I will have the final calculations done on prior to the race.
We are at 82 pilots and have 1 spot left in gold and 1 spot left in Bronze.

***Important Information (Please read)****
****Bring cover and portable table***
With the size of this race, we will not have enough pit tables. I will open up the parking lot for pitting like we did last year. So you may want to bring some sort of cover and a table to setup right behind the pit tables in the parking lot.
If you have a smaller (14 foot max) utility trailer, you will be able to park it next to your pit area unless the parking area gets to packed. Larger then 14 foot will be parking across the parking lot in the grass area. Sorry but the racers that are pitting in the parking lot will get priority so in other words, if the parking area that we are using for pits gets full then the trailers will have to be pulled out and put across the way. I don't see that happening but just want to give everyone heads up.
Please pass the word so everyone will be comfortable
Thanks and I am so excited about this race as I know all of you are going to have a great time and great weekend!!!!

So we are at 83 pilots and 1 spot left bronze and there is a waiting list for Silver and Gold. Remember, if you are on the waiting list, there is a great chance that a spot will open up. There is always a little fallout.
Please double check the list and if there is any issues or you see your name in a class that you are not going to race, please let me know asap so I can make the adjustments and possibly get someone off the waiting list.
Thanks

JR,
I know I ain't around there no more.
But if you are going to allow small trailers in the pits, I'd suggest you mandate that they locate at the extreme south end of the gravel parking area, so as to allow unobstructed access
to the area north of where they would be located.
Either that, or I'm NEVER coming back.
HA!

*****Must Read Please*****
Are you planning to stay at the flying field????
If you are, please do not bring your campers, RVs and/or trailers until Wednesday afternoon after 3:00 pm.
There is no saving tables until Thursday night at 8:00 pm. If you do, your stuff could be moved by other flyers.
I am doing this because of the open members are able to use the flying field up to that point and I do not want to cause any conflicts with the SAM Members.
The field is closed to everyone except for registered pilots and workers for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me anytime.
Thanks for you for working with me on this,
JR

See you all in a few days!!!! Its going to be a great weekend and very nice weather is expected.

Shawn,
oh no, did the plane crash or did you catch it in time? You will be missed. I pulled your name out of the matrix but in the case you fix it, I have room to put you back in.
Sorry you had problems
