Re: Lady Pylon Racers

Greg, I am almost certain that the photo in the NMPRA program is Loretta Hall. If you can please post the photo for us, that would be great. I have two copies of that one year only program that are still packed in a box somewhere after the move to NC. Thanks, Von Der Hey.

Lady Pylon Racers

Lady Pylon Racers is a subject that is not talked about nearly enough. In honor of Women’s History month and the women that have raced Pylon and currently race Pylon, I feel that it’s time to bring the subject to the forefront of our sport. First off, I am asking anyone who has photos or knowledge o...

Re: Props for ST X40

The propeller for the X-40 depends on the engine itself. If the X-40 is a Prather or Performance Specialties X-40 then the Rev-Up 8-3/4 X 7-1/2 series 400B or 400C cut down to 8-1/4” to 8-3/8” in length would be a good start. Peak ground RPM should be 21,500 to 22,500 using 60% nitro fuel. If the X-...

Please remember that we can not process credit cards on site, so terms will be cash and carry. Thank you everyone and se...

Re: JR switch

No diode. However if you raise the contacts on the switch to .191 the switch will unload much better. The thickness of the female plug should be .1850 but I have seen a few at .1865. You can go to .198 by using a .010 switch shim. Good Luck. PS: You can alleviate yourself from the above technical in...

Re: NEW! NMPRA Application with Paypal

The payment method gives you the option to use a credit or debit card. When you select that option it directs you to Pay Pal. No more Pay Pal for me. I will pay my membership at the NATS.

Re: NATIONALS 2022..

You can change the format, the rules, the venue, the qualifications or anything else that you think will make a difference, but the cream always rises to the top.
Just go to the NATS, respect the CD and have fun.

I think that it would be very un-American to compete against your own country.

Re: 2022 AMA Pylon Nationals - Muncie, IN

Ray, from what I can gather this means, when we race Leo and he is in the lead on the last lap, we can take his spot as we round Pylon 3. :)
