What a great weekend of racing among friends! total participants were down a little a few new guys tried racing and more data collected for the next version of 424 racing.
A huge shout out to the TOM MELSHIMER the inventor of the PLATE timing and scoring system. Flawless operation! Tom was in heaven, as he collected his ticker tape printouts at the completion of each race. He makes the details work so we can race!
Team Prowler had Matt and Clint try out the 426. The smiles and shaking hands were enough to know that speed is addicting.(Tom Scott has several new customers) Used airplanes need to be gone through extensively as we lost Clint's airplane after only a handful of flights when the wing came off.
Maybe we could have found the issue before it became a problem.
Thanks to all.

Sorry to have missed all the fun this year but health issues have kept me home. Does anyone have results for EF-1 and 424 they could share?
Sure hope to be back next year, thanks, Arch

[Greg Doe]

Arch, Covid kept me from the fall Muncie race, and I can't steer you to the results, but if your health permits you should think about checking in at the race in Illinois this weekend. I hope we get to see you at the races in 2023. Stay well.
