I am preparing to submit my requests for this year.

In 2014 I ran a combined event for Perky & Clown with first place awards only for Perky, Clown, and closest to average.  We got seven Perkys and five Clowns.

Based on that I asking for two separate and complete events for 2015 and also a single closest to average award for both events combined.  Perky and Clown will each have an entry fee, so if you enter both events would have six shots at closest to average.

I will, of course, make Clowns comply with whatever rules they use in the Brodak Clown Race event.  That would leave the door open for unlimited fuel in Perky, including diesels.  In 2014 I felt obligated to make ALL entries use the house fuel.  What do possible entrants think of unlimited fuel in Perky?   I don't believe that unlimited fuel for diesels and limited for glow is fair.

I'm planing to have the full three places based on top speed, plus a single prize for closest to average. 

From what I've seen and read, glows top out at about 101 to 104 on 10% standard fuel and F2C diesels go 108 on any fuel they want.  So limited glow vs unlimited diesel has a known result.   

Last year, after a lot of tweaking in on 10 nitro, 11 castor and 11 synthetic, the top three speeds were 101, 100, and 98.  Maybe 10-10-10 will be a little better.  There was some complaint about excess lubrication.

So you're going to open the fuel and glows will go 112mph, how is that fair to the diesels? You'll have the same problem. Why don't you just outlaw F2C rear valves and/or put a price cap on the engine because that's the real problem, speed cost money.

Stay with the fuel that works.

I received the proof copy of the 2015 Brodak Fly In flyer.

Both Perky and Clown Speed are is as full separate events with three prizes each.
There is also a bonus "closest to average" award for both events combined.

I will go by the book on Perky.  I have the right stuff as specified & bought from Melvin Schutte.  I guess I would loan out my lines if somebody comes unprepared.

Just for the sake of discussion:  If somebody flew a Perky on .015" 7-strand, would he not be placing himself at a disadvantage compared to .014" solids?   

I do not plan to employ a metallurgist to verify the particular grade of steel.  The enforceability of that rule has always amused me.
