Default Re: Flying Giants Member Nametags for Shootout?

Hello!

First time to the TAS. If I read correctly, you have to have a designated pass into the pits? Please can someone tell me what a spectator can purchase for full access?

Correct. You must get the Pit pass from a pilot or the organizers.

they try to keep the Rif-Raff out of the flight line so that folks don't have to worry about thier plane.

Maybe someone can come up with a Word Document format of a name badge that would fit in one of those readily availble badge holders. Each of us personalize the badge with our screen name, print it out, put it in a protective device of some kind, and wear it all week.

Example: I'm going to meet Boulder... but I have no idea what he looks like.

BADGES? WE NEED STINKING BADGES!!!!

Curtis, Add 6 more hours and you have what it took to get Cody and I to the Nats. And I can only hope that you have as good a time as we did in your neck of the woods. Anyway looking forward to seeing all you guys again. Have a safe trip.
