Default USRA for dummies

Chad here has the speed bug.

Fast cars (04 blown/injected GTO), fast bikes (2008 Gixxer 1000) , fast women (Aaaaah, Romanian girls. . .personal favorite btw), and now FAST AIRPLANES.

A few problems:

I work in Iraq and live in S. Dakota. Both are vacuums for this sort of thing. The club I belong to has no interest in it back home and even if they did, the field is too small for anything big. My H9 80" SD is a real biche to land at our field.

I come home for two months here soon and would like to try and attend an event someplace if possible. Information seems a bit vague as to when/where events are being held (if any)

Any input is really appreciated.

Thanks.

C

Going to be a big one taking place at El Mirage dry lake in SoCal. I don't know the timing but it would be a blast. Send a PM to rcign. He's big on racing.

Be careful over there and get home safe. Thanks for all you do and for what you've done.

The El Mirage race is tomorrow through Sunday, definately worth a look for anybody in the SoCal area. This race is closer to LA than any races in recent years, and perhaps any in the near future.

Lakbed info and a map here: http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/barstow/mirage.html

And let's hope the wind and dust leave us alone!
