Despite dire weather predictions, we had a solid turnout for Combat and enough teams to field an all-or-nothing three-up Brodak Clown race.

I brought out my newest & oldest Clowns, #1 and #6, and found that old #1 is still my best, especially on a long grass field.  We filled out the teams with Ron Marchionni as a pit man (experienced with F2D but not LA-15) and Ed Brzys (combat flyer but not so much racing).  Well-tested Warwashana/Colombo team was intact.

Paul Smith & Ed Brzys 114 laps
Mark Warwashana & Ron Colombo 88 laps
Ken Towers & Ron Marchionni 79 laps

No problems.

We were short of manpower and the racers got pressed into jury duty for Speed Limit, Slow, and 1/2A Combat, which consumed most of the daylight.  Clown won out over Foxberg as the only race we were able to run.  Some of these guys are getting maybe too old for five events in one day.

Now that you mention it. Ed Brzys did make some progress at getting local kids into CL.

But we welcome anybody, including older guys coming out of retirement.
