2023 Mike Tallman Legacy Race
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2023 1:51 pm
Heartland Speed Freakz is happy to announce the 2023 Mike Tallman Legacy Q40 Pylon Race. You probably know this by now, but HSF puts on an annual race to honor our great friend and competitor, Mike Tallman, for all he did in pylon racing. The race will be held on September 23rd & 24th, with the course set up on the 22nd for practice.
As it has been in the past, the race will be a 2 day Q40 race held at Lake Afton in Goddard (just west of Wichita) Kansas. For those of you that have come out in the past, you've experienced the highly competitive, yet laid back race atmosphere that we strive for. For those of you that haven't come out, I dare you to come experience it first hand. As I said it will be at Lake Afton RC Field, which Mike had a hand in building, it has both an asphalt and grass runway (side by side). It also has a dedicated concrete launch pad that allows us plenty of room to stretch out for race horse starts. I've yet to find a bad seat in the pits to see the close competition that this race is becoming known for. We will have our seasoned, I believe we are going on 11 years with them, workers as well as the always great lunch cooked by Vernelle Tallman.
This years prizes will be a little different. Along with trophies for first through third and fast time we will be giving cash; $200 for first, $100 for second, $50 for third and $100 for fast time.
We will also have a raffle with the prize being $150 in cash.
*RULES DEVIATION* - In the event that you receive a light and a cut on the same lap at Pylon 1, the cut will stand and a refly will not be issued.
I know we are a ways out but if you plan on attending, post here or shoot me an email @ lfinchcpa-sbcglobal.net (you know what to do to make it work) and let me know your AMA# as well as teammates.
I look forward to seeing you all at the race.
Flyer to follow shortly.
