Thanks Larry and Tom.

Note: IRKS dates are Nov 6 and 7, Friday and Sat. Larry, pls. update your post below, thx.  r....

We (IRKS) are still planning to allocate one circle to OTS models based on expressed interest.
Bring what you have, new or old.
We have cut in a new pit area for the North circle.
We will be asking for your opinion re. us conducting an OTS contest at the site in the future. Please think about it.

Nothing to think about .... I'm in!

There is an "EVENTS SECTION" below under "CONTEST CALENDAR AT A GLANCE" where this post might be a better fit

Yup, your right. I posted it here first to get a little better visibility to nail down stuff I may have missed. Most of the dates I listed came from latest AMA mag. The TBLF contest I didnt know about, and its only 6 weeks away.  Well, maybe its listed in the EVENTS section ... I'll check.  Thanks Greg!

Shame on me .... EricV posted it Sept 3

Robert/moderators - If its a problem, please feel free to place this where needed.

Thanks!  Larry

News flash - We fought the law, and WE won! The C/L circle will be open on the Barnstorming for toys events. Entry fee to fly that day will be an un-wrapped, factory packed toy for underprivileged children. (so they can see what it is and give to the appropriate age/gender child I guess)

They WERE going to put one of those silly inflatable play houses that the kids jump around in on our circle, but pointed out the lack of electricity and a better place to put it... so anyone interested, come'on down.

Thanks

Well, isn't that great news!!  I was thinking also that there was another place to put that than the C/L circle.  All that effort to put in a cement runaway, just to cover it up. :-)  My mother-in-law will be in town that weekend ... you've now given me a reason to escape!!  Thank you!!

Eric - Theres a question for you over in the EVENTS section .....  Re; TBLF contest

See ya then, FlySafe!  Larry

Eric,

Wondering if they are gonna put the silly house where the RV hookups are 'cause some of us(3) from Lake Wales are planning to use RV parking that weekend.

For all you racing fans the Starke contest draws the best in the U.S.
for FAI F2C with some really good racing to be had for two days.

Phil - They are supposed to have RV hookups available, regardless of where the bubble house goes...
