2023 Racing 

May Play-by-Play

Overview
Competition Saturday in May was overcast with a wind out of the south. Only four of the T-28 racers showed for racing, with one being new racer George. Interest in racing has really declined as of late. If you missed out on the May racing then be sure to turn out in June. With ony four racers we had just 1 section of 3 heats.

Reno had seven pilots show up today, but only five competed.

T-28 Wrap Up: Well I think I can say we all had fun. No crashes this time although Duane did hit the north pylon during the last heat but was able to fly out of it even maintain second place. The pylon collapsed but was not damaged.

Heat One: Terry took first Greg was second, John C. third, Rick F. fourth and George fifthe. Rick made at least 4 cuts of the south pylon maybe 5, at least he was flying consistent even if it was consistently short!

Heat Three: Terry took first followed by Rick in second, John C. third, Greg fourth, and George fifth.
