426: Register and pay for Sat and Sun = one ticket for $500 raffle.
422: Register and pay for Sat and Sun = one ticket for $1000 raffle.

My odds just equalled Danny, Rich and Duane’s (circa 2017)

I'll be putting the matrix together for Hank's race. I've pulled the pilots names and used my best guesstimate on teams. Please take a look at the listing and let me know if there needs to be a change. Also if you don't see your name let me know and I'll get you added. The matrix for Saturday's races will be closed on Friday evening, for Sunday's races it will be closed on Saturday evening. So if you're planning on attending and don't see your name on the list make sure Hank or I know.
Thanks,
Lonnie

unfortunately, having to work for a living is going to get in the way of this race for me. Wish it wasn't so.

Y'all have a good time, and good luck at the races!

Hank and the Jeffco Aeromodelers put on a good race this past weekend. They had to fight through a few technical difficulties, but what race wouldn't be complete with out them?

The weather was a little more midwestern-ish than Colorado-ish with it being in the mid 90s and a decent amount of humidity. But having the mountains as your back drop seemed to make it a little easier to accept. Both days had some close racing with a few times where planes were occupying the same space. Looking forward to going back next year.

Here are the official results with the fly off points added.
