Re: July 18-19 Course Setup/Changeover

Even though sunrise is at 5:55, you could probably start earlier (assuming they let us in earlier). Unless you know something I don't (and you probably do), on those occasions when I arrived early due to Chief duties, they would not open the gate prior to 6:00 a.m. Maybe a couple minutes early but ...

Tri point got around to the leakdown test last night, and sent me an email today. Cylinders 1, 2, & 4 are good, and 3 is leaking through the intake valves. Their quote seems kind of high, and they really took their time getting around to the leakdown test, so I'll probably end up taking it some...

Re: Drones at events

Technically they aren't really drones. The term drone comes from the press for not knowing what they are talking about. A drone was a simple stupid term for aerial practice shooting. Basically the drone would be launched on a straight flight path, then destroyed by a manned fighter or SAM sight. Th...

Re: Drones at events

In a way, drones, UAs, etc. are in our future (present). Having said that, and fully realizing that Mike is just the messenger, this is clearly a safety issue. The SCCA should not be simply kicking the can down the road toward the FAA. It clearly is NOT the FAA's jurisdiction. But I agree with KJ, i...
