Great news fellas. I have gotten approval from my primary club in Salem, CT, to hold a contest there during the 07' season. I was thinking of doing an early season (May) contest and take a chance with the weather. I am also in the process of getting approval for another contest in Woodstock, CT. I think these have the possibility of being great contests this year as they are about halfway between the PA contests and the Maine contests. I know the Upper northeast guys expressed alot of interest in coming down, and I am sure the PA/NJ/MD/NY crew could make the trip. Definelty excited about 07. I will keep updating the progress in this thread.

Hey man, that sounds pretty cool, ill definately be there!

Do we know what we are doing with a juding seminar yet?

Have fun

John,

Look for CAPI to be held the last week in August again in 2007. Bowie, Maryland.

Cool Dave. I just got some info from another club in CT that may be interested in doing a contest as well... could it be 3 in CT in 07? Who knows, but Ill will certainly try!

Tank, I bet you could get CCRCC in Farmington to host one. I know that Don up there has been looking to do one for years with some help. Let me know if you want to contact him. Also, i would love to try it at Salem if you decide to allow "noisy" airplanes. Craig

Thats one of the ones we are looking at Craig. Bryan gave me a heads up that they might be interested. The one at Salem is going to have sound restrictions, 98db, which pretty much equates to anything 100cc+ must have cans. You got all sorts of birds, put cans in one, you wont be disapointed! Youll be wondering why you have been running "mufflers" all this time.

Tank,
I will be pushing to have another at LVRCS this year...maybe we will get better weather!

That was a good contest even with the ****ty weather. It would have been great if we didnt have the rain. Ill keep my fingers crossed, thats a great site for a contest! We just gotta make sure there are no more double lomcevaks off the power lines next year!

I can dig that! I will be pushing for another, but need to get an idea of available dates as to not conflict with other contests........

Im shooting for early in the season and then in the middle... like May, and maybe june or july... we seemed to get real jammed up at the end of the season

I have to see when our other contests are....then I can fit this one into the mix somewhere. Thats where the problem was last year...they didnt want one weekend after another tied up, but some of our other events are pretty lame......
I am sure we will talk.....

I just came back from my Club's bi-monthly meeting. There are 3 of us that will try IMAC in the NE in 2007.

Our hats off to all you guys that step up and host IMAC events! We'll be there!

Craig,

Have you flown IMAC to date. A few of us from Black Dirt are planning to get into IMAC in "07.

Hey guys, with the approval for the contest in Salem, CT, I need to come up with dates for the event by next Tuesday (next club meeting). I want to shoot for a contest earlier in the season. Right now, my club has all of June available as well as all of May. What do you NE Region guys think? I looked at the contest schedule from last year, and there was only one in June, the LVRCS event in PA. I know you are on here Blair, were you planning for the same date? Anyone else that reads this, when would you prefer to see the contest happen?
