July Play-by-Play
by Duane Barrett, Contest Coordinator as told by KC Patton
Overview
Competition Saturday in July was beautiful blue sky with a slight wind out of the north/south. Only four of the
T-28 racers showed for racing. Interest in racing has really declined as of late. If you missed out on the July racing then be sure to turn out in August. With ony four racers they had just 1 section of 3 heats. Duane, the Coordinator was out for medical reasons, so thank you very much to KC Patton for standing in for me.
Reno had four pilots that competed today.
