Title: Visited a Special Place today
Post by: James Holford on May 17, 2018, 08:06:44 PM: Doing a job in Houston and just so happen to be 5 minutes down the road from Scobee Field!!!

Knocked off early and went ride out there to check the place out.

Noone was on the circles but I can just tell that next weekends event is going to be a good one!!!

Looking forward for the Bill Rutherford Memorial Stunt Contest next weekend!!

Post by: jim ballard on May 18, 2018, 06:52:57 AM: James, I've been to contests at Scobee and it is such a nice facility, but it has been a looong time since I was there. Mid 80's I think. Thanks for posting the pics! Brought back some great memories. I would make the trip next weekend but I am going to Dallas for a contest on June 9th / 10th and can't do both so close together. Hope you have a great time and come home with some hardware!(Trophy's) :-)

Yeah, very nice field.

A sign at the outside about 200 ft from the circles saying No Spectators beyond this point seems a bit extreme however. What other extreme rules do they have! HHmmmmmm…

Wonder how long it'll be before the "Drone Idiots" Claim half of the field. They recently got about a third of ours here in Tucson!

I think its geared towards those without a AMA or club membership.
