The weather forecast was for light rains that may have come through before 8 AM but I never saw any. When I arrived around 0830, our host Bob Bast the president of the Southern Indiana Flying Eagles club was waiting and I assisted him in setting up the pylons for our event. As flyers arrived and got...

Jim,
Fun Event!
Can we get a race report?
I got run ragged on a very long day.....

Jim,
At present we are planning on driving up. We only have one plane available and not enough room for everyone and gear.
Sparky

Scotty,
Great Idea! Another option to consider is have the cut pylon light blink instead of just coming on steady as it is now? It would need to blink faster than the heat boards at the staging area.

Jim or DK,
Will the wheel pants requirement on EF1 be waived? Id prefer to go Pantless. if allowed.

I'm not sure it was clear but the spacing latterly between each lane at Turn one could be wider and the same issue with the High Red and High Green being a bit confusing discerning if it was a cut in that lane as we only glance at the board. In one race I was the caller and thought the other guy had...

In just a little less than two weeks we will be racing again in the valley of speed at the MCRC club field. Saturday morning August 28 will see the gathering in the Valley of Speed! Due to Monroe county CV-19 restrictions the normal lunch provided will not be available but that should make you hungr...

Ear plugs being offered to the spectators..... LOL.
Some of you guys were a lot younger then.....
Very pretty airplanes that look vaguely like a full size airplane.

Well if you attended the NAT's you were aware of the peculiar weather Indiana enjoys. At our club field (just North of Bloomington Indiana) we are in bottom land and usually some time in the spring we will get a heavy rain and our field will be submerged for a while until the water retreats, that ha...

Great Job, Tom and all the GCRCC members! A tip learned early on if you are holding a airplane with the engine running keep your mouth shut! Those bugs went through the prop like a blender and the guts went everywhere, one racer said they tasted like...... Post race I also had bug guts collected on ...

Hobby King, yes really!

It got warm in the “Valley of Speed" and I'm not talking about the temperature (which it did I might add. ) Last week our runway was covered in water so we kept a close eye, as the water receded and by Friday the field had been mowed and was race ready for the first Club 40 race of the season! It se...

Yes that’s right! This Saturday is the first Club 40 race of the 2021 race season! I know some of you haven’t been out flying as much as you would like to with all the pandemic and such but now is the time for you to come out and get with it! Practice? What Practice? its over rated any way! Lack of ...
