Default Pylon Fun Fly/Workshop This Weekend

Hello everyone,
This Saturday, August 23rd, the dist VIII group will be having a pylon fun fly/workshop at Scobie field in Houston. So far it sounds like there will be a pretty good turnout. We will have the race course set up, and running some heads up heats. This will be a run what you brung. Anyone is welcome to come out to fly anything around the race course.
We hope everyone can make it out. It will be a fun day of practice, learning, and talking shop.

Hope to see you there.

DC,

What time are you going to start, and how long do we have the field?

Tim,

We will be there Early. We have the field all day. But if you show up at 4 you might be a bit late.

Tim, We need a grudge race with you, me, Ken and Jason!

I hope Ken is coming. Is he back from the coast?

I'll be there. I'm looking forward to it. Its my first time to fly the 3-pole course with my Viper. I'm bringing the Raider just in case. It might be too busy if the turn out is really good. I think Gary is going to ride down with me. He's bringing his Raider just in case. He's waiting for his Viper to come in. The last time I was at Scobie someone backed into my truck and left the scene. $1500 damage! I might park away from everyone! Ha! See you Saturday Chuck. Hopefully my truck won't be run into again!

For sure!! Lately it seems as if one of us always gets taken out before the A Main. I'll bring my Raider and my NemeQ. Unfortunately I don't think I'll have the Hurrikane done in time, although it's getting close.

Ken already replied that he's going to be there. Gary Fisher is going to ride w/ Ken, so we should have some good representation from up here.

Thanks guys!!, and I'll tell her. You might get to tell her yourself at CLAMS, because Lisa said she wanted to go too. We'll just have to see.

A big thanks to Mike Helsel, Dub Jett and Dennis Cranfil for putting this together.
Great day of racing and testing. Very well run and very informative for several new comers.

My first visit to Scobie field without rain!!
