No Q-40 Race in Bowie until later in the year

Our club intends to host races, however, May 4 and 5 are simply too soon to make it happen by then. On the positive side, our Board of Directors have approved of purchasing a light system, as opposed to merely renting one for the weekend, meaning we will be putting on more races down the road. I apo...

Postponing the May 4-5 Race in Bowie

After discussing with the club's board of directors the idea of hosting a replacement race in Bowie for the cancelled OJA race, our club simply isn't ready to host a race of this magnitude, at least not yet. We will be going ahead and purchasing a light system, and training people how to use the equ...

Re: A Mid-Atlantic race in lieu of OJA's race

All: As it stands, we still need a working light system before we can finalize our plans. The NEPRO light system is suspect since it hasn't been used in a few years. I have reached out to Tom Scott who is currently in California at a race at the Basin. If anyone else has a working light system, plea...

This event is Q40 only?

My response: Correct. It will be a 2-day Q40 race.

Re: A Mid-Atlantic race in lieu of OJA's race

The idea of putting on the race apparently has merit, so we will go for it. Thanks to everyone who spoke up. I hope Robert Vess, Dean Stone, John McDermott and all of the other people I see every year in Muncie also come. The Q40 event started 30 years ago. Let's end it in style.

There is room for campers. No hook ups, but room and 115 volt outlets under our pavilion.

A Mid-Atlantic race in lieu of OJA's race

Hello folks: I am taking a poll to see how many of you would come to a race, hosted by the PGRC, for 422, the first weekend in May (just like OJA would have done it). I just asked Rick Moreland and he said if we can get the numbers, we would go for it. We lack a light system, so we'd need one from e...
