Looks like it was a great day for it. I'm still on a 6-day work week so I basically have zero time to do much of anything right now.
Does Bruder Park have a grass circle, too?
Hey Andre;
If you have ever been to Buder to fly combat in the past, there is an area between the paved circles and the tree line in the first photo Fred put up that is quite large and you probably flew combat matches back there. There are concrete pilot centers out there, 3 or four of them I think, but they have largely sunk into the ground over the years. Buder has a paved donut circle, the paved square pad, a grass carrier circle with concrete take off and landing deck, and a caged speed circle. The grass area I spoke of has room for at least three or four combat circles.. All of this in a relatively small area, considering the surroundings. It's right off I-44 at the Valley Park/Hiway 141 exit, a few miles west of the I-44/I-270 intersection. We'll be having our annual speed contest the weekend after Mother's Day, and if you are looking to take the wife on a short weekend or day trip on the Harley, we're not too far from you. Come on up! Lots of motorcycle related stops for you also like the Mungenast Museum, Donnelson's Cycle shop and museum and other stuff just a short drive from Buder Park location. Betty Fox and John Lowery were frequent visitors when Betty was still running the company.
Type at you later,
Dan McEntee
