I swear....Bob just keeps opening the door. I tell myself that I am not gonna walk thru it.....but I just cannot resist!

NO, that is NOT what he said. He exact words were "pedal harder, PEDAL HARDER".

This is how you get rid of some annoying trees and ditch bushes.

one more. This thing is mean. This was donated help from one of the club members. (both of tractors) The cool thing was, someone saw it working and hired it for a couple hours work @ $85 hour.

We will sew grass tommorow.
Later,
Kelly

Hey, I think Mark Lofgren would like to borrow that tree-eating Deere.

Hmmm, come to think of it, I'd like to borrow that other Deere so I could chop up any lizards seen crawling around the runway.

As long as the seismic plates beneath the "thicket of death" periodically move to the west allowing the trees to entice and snatch planes from the air, RDRC needs a tractor with a cherry picker. A bonus would be a tractor also equipped with the lastest tick exterminating equipment! The southeast corner is "The Dark Zone."

By the way folks ( Raider racers) Robert and I spent soome time yesterday in Julian NC. One of the reasons we were there was to look over the race course they have set up. Its GREAT. Wide open field located on farm land. They have a paved section right in the middle for taking off from. You land in the short grass when the race heat is over. Its really cool, and they have nice pylon poles, lights, lap counter etc. The Raider racing will be a simple two pole course. They will also be running other classes of racing. So not only do you get to race the Raiders, but you get to watch some of the "Big Boys" go head to head in upper class racing. Robert and I are thinkiong about mounting a TT 40 Pro on our Vipers and running the 424 class also. Even if we dont, we're excited about running the Raiders there. Race day is May 1st, so you guys start practicing!!!!
