Default USRA Rantoul, IL Race pics now posted

The first race of the 2006 USRA series was held back in June in Rantoul, IL and since this forum was created after that date, it was not reported here nor were any pics uploaded. But we were very fortunate to have Ben Lanterman there taking some awesome pics that just have to be seen! So we have started uploading them in the big events gallery here. This is the same race that has had recent coverage in Model Aviation and Fly RC magazines. So this large picture gallery will give you some more insight into the racing action!

Check it out and give us your thoughts.

I've just uploaded the remaining 400 or so of Ben's fanatastic pics. They include trophy race action and the winners in each class.

Hay all. I recently downloaded about 1000 pictures to Max on the last Parker race, if you would like to see them they are here on the Giants site (I just dont know where Max put them) (maybe still in his personal members pictures folder?)

I also just mailed 2 CD's with right at 1100 pictures to all the Parker pilots of their race. If anybody would like a set please let me know, I can make a set and mail it for less than $10. If their is a pilot that doesn't get their pictures in a few days please let me know.

Thanks Mike
