Awesome Scotty, thanks for the info.
How are things coming along with the takeoff pad and also the ability to turn the course around if needed?

Re: 2022 NMPRA Q-40 Chamionship race - Old Julian Airport - Liberty, NC - Oct. 8 & 9
I am neither for or against this, but I don't think it is good practice to make rule deviations this close to race after people have spent money and taken time off work based on what they thought the format would be. I don't think someone would not show up because it stayed as advertised, but you co...

Re: NATIONALS 2022..
I see the good and bad in both. The one thing I think would make the one matrix even better at the nationals (or even all contest) is to add one throw away. There are so many times a top contender was knocked out due to something out of their control (bad plug, ground collision, mid-air with someone...

Re: Longer course at the classic.
Back in the day when I ran races I would instruct the pylon one people to not give a light until they were past the pole. This lead to massive anticipation and lots of free cuts. Later on I instructed them to not give a light until the plane was around the pole and on its way back. This lead to no ...

Re: Longer course at the classic.
When I made this suggestion, it was during the heated “got a light and a cut” discussions. This is a very effective way to help reduce this when used properly. If you have ever sat down at pole 1 and watched the number of lights given because of workers anticipating the light you would be shocked (h...

Re: Cliff Telford Memorial Tangerine 2021 "PLEASE READ ASAP"
THANK YOU to all who came out and support the race, it was a great success and we will be doing it again next year. We had near perfect weather for the event. 33 in 426, 34 in 422, and 4 in 424. Robert Vess and a few others have plenty of pics on Facebook, so I will just attach the results. Big shou...
