Hi Steve and Rick,

I have always wanted to make a Bowie race but wasn't able to make it happen back in the day. Unfortunately, I have a prior commitment. for the proposed date. Please consider making this an annual so I can come next year...

OK, so I'm in a bit of a pickle here... BTW, I agree with all. TT should be a separate event from the NATS. Going forward, what do I do about our proposed race? That weekend is pretty much my only option, looking at everything else that's already on the books. Our intention is to try to make this a ...

Obviously the discussion didn't include people who actually have a stake in the TT so I would consider it biased. That may be your premier place to for a race, certainly more convenient. I consider Muncie premier as well and a pretty central location.

I was under the same impression, Ray... This is the whole issue with trying to schedule a damn race. Why wasn't I in the loop if that is the planned date for the TT? I've participated in the last 5 Team Trials, and intend to be at this years. So yeah, it affects my race if I'm going to be at the TT....

The Houston area, TX race for 2024 is currently being discussed for planning. We are shooting for the weekend of October 5 and 6. I've reviewed the current schedule closely, and this appears to not overlap with any other race currently on the books. We're shooting for the Scobee field in Houston, bu...

Unfortunately, it was the same weekend as a California race. I wasn't not going to have the race in Houston, so we ended up w...

Thanks to all who attended. Thank you to Lonnie Finch for helping us keep the contest running as smoothly as possible. Couldn't have done it without him. Lonnie just jumps in and handles it without asking. Thanks also to Dan Kane, Grunk, my brother, and others for help with setting up the course and...

I am posting an announcement that we have confirmed we will be allowed to use the Scobee field for our contest October 21 and 22. Some had overheard that there was a temporary shutdown of the field due to a fire that occurred due to the extreme dry conditions. October is a fairly rainy season for Ho...

I'm going to start a list of who I've heard from who have said they will plan to attend. I will update the list as I hear from others, or who reply to this post. 1. Dennis Cranfill 2. Daniel Cranfill 3. Lucas 4. Richard Oliver 5. Jason Oliver 6. Jacob Raquet 7. Mark Parker 8. Dub Jett 9. Duane Hulle...

Here is a copy of the flyer until Mike can get one up on the home page...

The pictures don't do it justice. It is a beautiful airplane.

I have posted a flyer with Mike, and should be up shortly. For travel arrangements, either of the airports are fine to fly in to. IAH may be slightly easier to get to and from on that side of town. There are many hotels to choose from close to the field. The field address is 17260 Westheimer Parkway...

Hi Kurt,

I sent you a PM...
