Despite earlier predictions of rain, yesterday was perfect for any flying event. This year we are including many events into one day because, with fewer participants, we can get more in. It is assumed that we may not have time for every event and that's how it happened. Events not flown were Foxberg and 1oz Goodyear. Maybe next time we will get at least one of those in there.
Events flown included our Sportsman Clown. It was closely contested. The goal is to get no more than 140 laps with an airspeed of not faster than 22 sec. All manner of combos were flown. There were 2 nova rossi .12's, one Conquest, 1 N-R .15, a diesel and one LA .15. I don't have all the numbers but one of the .12's and the LA overachieved, the Conquest was close, diesel not quite there and the N-R .15 won with a 139. Good racing and a good workout for, at least this geezer!
We are trying out a clown speed event. Proto style. 16 laps. It gives us a chance to run the 'hot ships' that are too fast to keep up with in a race. Results: Dave Edwards 99.58 TZ .18
T Schaefer 99.13 TZ .18
Al Ferarro 97.26 TZ .18
Ernie Evon 65.19 N-R .12
Raul Diaz 54.86 ?

We were very lucky to have a great crew to do the timing and lap counting. Also, Thanks to Phil Valente and Dave King for manning the 'officials table'. Next scheduled meet is May 14.
