Phoenix area EF1 Series
Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2016 4:21 pm
Hello,
A BIG thanks to NMPRA for adding the Phoenix area EF1 race series to the calendar of events!
Arizona Model Aviators is now holding monthly EF1 races at Superstition Air Park in Mesa, Az. The race season is one Sunday morning a month from September through May (November off) with race day cash prizes and a point championship rollup at the end of the season.
Aircraft conform to the NMPRA EF1 rules without exception. The race format is 2 pole, 500’, 30 sec timed flying start, 7 laps. We normally have between 10 and 15 entries per event - 5 rounds and we’re done by noon. Race dates, times and results are in the attached link. No need to be a member or preregister - Just show up with NMPRA EF1 qualified equipment, an AMA card and $10. Race at one of the premier flying sights in the Southwest!
For decades Arizona Model Aviators has held a successful 25 size glow, 2 pole racing series blending-in EF1 over the last couple of seasons. Now this series has been converted to NMPRA EF1 exclusively. This allows nearby EF1 racers from a reasonable radius to come out and race with us and instantly adds 10 or so Phoenix area flyers to the pool of EF1 talent in the southwest. I know there is at least a few of us that are looking forward to traveling to some regional races.
Come on out – Have some fun - Win some cash! But don’t think we’re easy pickin’s. We have a regular contingent of Speed World guys that will give anyone a run for their money!
