This is shaping up to be a great event, fingers crossed the weather will hold, the field is drying out nicely so far.

I was just talking to Jeremy AKA JAG on the phone, earlier this evening, there has been a really AWSOME responce from the NSW pylon Association guys in supporting our race day. It looks like we will have the oppertunity to fly with some great blokes who's collective wealth of experiance in racing and high-speed areomodeling in general could fill a collection of books!!

This is a great chance to not only have a fantastic time, enjoy some great flying and try something different, but also to meet, mingle with and ask questions of some of the nicest and most helpfull people you could possibly meet while enjoying this great hobby.

There will certainly be no lack exciting racing to watch. If you enjoy speed and skillfully flown fast flying foam then the 17th at McCoy field is not to be missed!!!

I am certainly looking very much forward to it!!

I will be there early on Sunday morning setting up the course hopefully with some help.

The plan is to get an early start with the pilots breifing getting under way at around 9am or very shortly there after. flyers racing on the day will want to be there for that.

Ingo has a bunch of hand held radios set up on the CB band most the of NSW pylon guys will have their own. If you have a hand held CB please charge it's batteries for the day and bring it allong normally channel 17 would be used. If you don't have your own then please ask Ingo or me about borrowing one. They are only small and clip onto your pocket. It's really best to have one on all the time if your involved in racing as every thing you need to know will come over the radio. Things like who is racing and when and what the times were for each race and the all important other bits of info like how many cuts there were ect. It's much easier to organise the whole thing if everyone can hear what's going on and it helps with safety as well.

Even if your not intending to race please come allong there will be plenty of interesting ways to get involved there's allways an oppertunity to have a go at judging/time keeping in the cage which is fun in it self. There will be a chance to do some normal flying during beraks in the racing.

Even if your not racing or judging or otherwise involved with helping out then please come along and cheer for local lads and take some pictures and some video or just enjoy some classic flying.

I'm looking very much forward to it and I hope to see you there !!
