Hey Guys,

Just trying to get everyone up to speed and fired up about the last Giant Scale USRA race of the 2009 year.

Oct 15th - 18th at Rabbit Dry Lake Bed in So Cal near Victorville, Ca. Racing starts on Fri at 9:00.
We are expecting 60-70 planes again this year and for the first time in a long time close to 20 Unlimiteds. Even Bi-Planes are expected this year.
If there is more info needed go to the USRA web site: usrainfo.org , and click on the link for the west coast race venue.

We are also hosting Sat anoon time Car drag complete with a christmas tree starting system with the finals on Sunday noon time just prior to the Gold and Silver trophy Air Races.
I hear there may be a full RC Drag Rail set up with a Bully 75cc gas engine- FASTTTTTTT!!!!

It promises to be a great time for all.

Lake bed is dry as a bone.

Racing starts at 9AM sharp. Looks like about 65 entries in 5 classes. Should be an exciting weekend!

I am sorry, who are you two? Do I know you from somewhere? Could you two pick up the pits, or wipe down the plane or something........

mbacosa · 10-21-2009, 04:24 PM

God only knows that all your planes would take a couple days to clean. Has a towel or any cleaner ever touched that 260? I think not!!! I am not volunteering for that job!

Why would you guys think I would change with a little bit of success? I am still the same ole grounded individual I always was......

Quist, my handlers told me I cant actually talk to you directly, but if your people will call my people we might can work out lunch or something.....eh, maybe a phone conference at lunch might be better....

"hey flunky... yea you, grab me a latte and peal me a grape will ya....... thanks babe"

JBenson · 10-22-2009, 02:03 PM
