Don't forget about the "pinata" on Sunday! Got some cool things to cut into and win!!

The Pylon race and combat events are a blast to watch! Check out the video on the EFEST site. www.gpe-fest.com

Do you have to preregister for the last plane flying full contact event? If it's open to all, are there any rules regarding munitions, pyrotechnics, power tools, ultra high intensity lasers, multiple tracking fire and forget radar, broad band jamming devices, knock out gas, itching powder, brass knuckles, 10 man "spotter" teams with ninja training, paint ball equipped cheer leader team, vacation opportunities and "discounts" on upper end kitchen appliances for judges, or construction/power plant limits?

Just wondering as I just decided a minute ago this could be really fun!! Thoughts?

For the pinata? No weight limit.

For the rest of the events, there is. Refer to the website for specs.
