 |  NORTHCOAST CHALLENGE GIANT SCALE AIR RACES AUG 18 - 20
Hey fellas, I'll be shooting up to the NORTHCOAST CHALLENGE GIANT SCALE AIR RACES AUG 18 - 20, In Ashtabula, Ohio. I'll probably be there Saturday and maybe Sunday, I'll be covering the event for the Giants. Doing some Video interviews and filming the action. If you have never seen these planes fly and your close by, come check it out! 230+ MPH with the BIG unlimited planes, and the starting death dive is something to behold.... (think 10' wingspan planes diving for the deck at full throttle from 400+ feet, leveling out at 20' and turning left in .5 seconds... the G forces are insane. This racing is SICK... and a really good time even to just watch! If you need a MAP go to http://www.mentorrc.com/ there are directions located there. Robert V from Vess props will be there and i'm sure a few other manufactures so BRING CASH!!!  I know I'll be going home with a few 50cc VESS props! Also, TEAM SPEED DEMON will be there... Good guys... hopefully I'll be getting a nice video interview with Scott and his sons! See you guys there!

I am a Clevelander, but i don't know Bernie. Sorry. I know Scott and his family, they race for Team Speed Demon. Last year I went to watch took my (at the time) 8 month old son, and Scott and his wife treated me and my boy like one of the family. In fact just like the aerobatic part of this hobby, EVERYONE I talked to at the races were just straight up good people. I can't wait to watch again this year. And the funny part is, I usually HATE watching anything without flying, but this stuff is so far outside the way I fly, I seriously just enjoy watching the guys fly. (Not to say if I ever come across $5 - 6000 laying around, I wouldn't want to give it a shot!)
