Default Fresno-Madera Jet Rally

An informal Poll...........
Matt West and I are Co-CD's for the event this year, and would like to try some new things to improve the overall experience for everyone.
First, we are considering moving all spectator parking outside the gate. This will leave plenty of space for Pilot, Crew and Motorhome/trailer parking. It can get very congested around the pit area.
Second, how many people plan to attend with RV's and trailers? We would like to set aside a better area for that and venders as well.
Please help us to help you. We may have only 18 months left at our current site, and would like this year to be a special event.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Mark,

We might RV as well, it would be a 32 foot Class C. I will know for sure when the new baby gets here (any second now!).

Fresno-Madera Jet Rally is the grandaddy as far as I am concerned, I hope you guys can pull together and find a new field.

Last year was so much fun, hope I can come this year too and see all you guys. That is a bummer that the field will be moved. I like that place.

Wow, I was looking at the photos I took last year and recall how much fun it was to be there. Should be a lot of fun this year, looking forward to it. The Rookie will be ready for more smoke and bomb drop action.

Latest update......
Bob Violett will be coming out from Florida with the Electra jet and spending the weekend. All spectator parking will be moved outside the gate, pilot/crew and vendor parking inside. This should alleviate the congestion around the pit area. Motorhome/ trailer parking will be next to the pits. We will leave 2 vehicle widths free next to the snack shack/registration booth for barbequeing and the like.
The bombing competition and paintball shoot will return, what a hoot!
Come as early as you want, stay as long as you want!
