FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND JOE NALL WAS A FRIEND OF MR. HARTNESS WHO SPONSORS THE EVENT HE WAS KILLED IN A PLANE CRASH AND MR HARTNESS DOES THE EVENT EVERY YEAR IN HIS HONOR. IM SURE THERES A WHOLE LOT MORE TO THE STORY BUT IM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. THE REAL PERSON TO ASK WOULD BE BIFF HE TELLS A GREAT STORY AND HE KNOWS EXACTLY HOW THE NALL WAS STARTED. HOPE THIS HELPS

The Joe Nall was started in 1982. It was an event that was for 1/4 scale models. Pat Hartness and Kirby McKinney wanted to start a meet and have their friends come and enjoy flying together. Joe Nall was Pat's college roomate and they were great friends. Joe was the announcer for this event. Joe was killed in an air plane crash in 1989 and the name was changed to honnor Joe Nall in 1990. See ya'll at the Joe Nall. Laura |
