2025 Racing 

May Play-by-Play

Overview
I arrived at the field about 8:30am to find a mild wind blowing and cloudy skies. Weatherman predicted 25% chance of rain and 10 MPH winds for today. Winds were not there yet. Between 9:00 and 9:30 we some rain showers so I called a Pilots' meeting to get a concensous of what everyone wanted to do. Ends up we decided to try and beat the weatherman and we had an awesome turn out for today. By 10:00 AM, the sky cleared some and the rain quit, however still some light wind. Competition Saturday in May was an awesome day for all. Thank you to everyone who turned out to support us this month. We had about 35 people counting all the spectators and racers. Also a big thank you to Susan for the fantastic lunch!

Weather
Cloudy with showers occaisionally about a 5 to 6 mph wind blowing the wrong way, but we took off downwind anyway for immediate racing action.
