Re: Urgent Message - Q40 Basin Classic

Basin March races, were always IF'y, usually windy and cold,,, even in the 70's with F1 & Spickler 500's.

One year we rotated the take-off direction, left the course as is, and enjoyed the competition and the times,, Not So Much :roll: :o :D

Re: May 4th & 5th 2024 OJ Race

I just got off the phone with Tyler Daniels at AMA (Think his last name is Daniels?? :roll: :o )!! Tyler indicated they met with FAA Last Week and FAA will not extend the FRIA deadline!

FAA Extended FRIA deadline to 3/1/24, so flying anywhere may continue!

Will FAA extend the deadline further,,, my guess is yes!

Re: Texas Race 2024 "Quickie 500 Championship?"

Whenever there is a Single class weekend event, we all show up ~ that's undisputed with event success "A given" ! :wink: Having a recurring Q-500 Annual Championship Event, is clearly warranted !!! Texas is perfect as it's almost Mid-Point for the entire North North American continent :lol: :P Scotty

Re: May 4th & 5th 2024 OJ Race

I spoke with our Club president and the LARKS FRIA took about a year to receive!

He also indicated the FAA extended the FRIA deadline to 3/1/24, and given the continued back log will most like extend it again!

Re: Texas Race 2024 "Quickie 500 Championship?"

After hosting 3 TT's,,, and based on the magnitude of it's purpose,, the TT's clearly need to be a separate event!

Re: May 4th & 5th 2024 OJ Race

The two "Key Items" in this discussion are:

1. AMA's review and approval prior to submission to FAA.
2. Site location :roll: :wink: :D

Re: Nats Registration

Oh no worries, AMA has had a lot of problems with their I.T. consultants and the Web-site! Unfortunately is remains ongoing :oops:
