Well we now have 4 races under our belts and you know what? It keeps getting better. On May 24th we had a make up race because the May race got rained out. Guy and Jon both finished the day with 15 points each. Adam came in second with 14 and Patrick came in third with 12 points. These races are so close that if you blow just one turn you can cost yourself the race. The other biggest factor is the start. If you time it just right you can take the led at the start and keep it. The warbirds are a kick in the pants. Because of their speed it was decided that we would do 15 laps instead of the normal 10. So far there have been no issues with the batteries lasting the extra 5 laps. Todd brought out a gorgeous ME109 to race but unfortunatly the plane did not seem to want to fly but check out how the grapes were growing instead. Adam seemed to forget how to go AROUND the pylon and cut out his first 2 races but came back to win his last heat. Both Steve and Brian G had great days with 13 and 14 points apiece, and don't forget the flexy flyer Patrick who shared 1st place for the day with Steve. Jon S had the nicest and most scale plane with a beautiful Sea Fury from E-flite complete with retracts.

June's race was no less exiting. Robbie "Red" even came out to play with the guys. T-28's had 15 racers this month with a couple of guys away like Ian and Brian B. Guy's winning streak died this month while on his second heat race he clipped the ground. The plane was fixed and he made the 3rd heat. Jon S took advantage and took home the big 15 for the day taking first for the day. Jon probably has more stick time on his t-28 than anyone. Adam came in tied for second for the day with 14 points winning his first 2 and then losing to Jon in the 3rd heat race to take second despite a cut pylon. Brian G was also second putting in a great performance. His third heat race was so close but in the end Jeff and Steve both cut out but Germone help his turns to win. Robbie took home third for the day. He borrowed Steve's Back up T-28 for the day and got a 1st ,2nd ,and 3rd. Not bad for his first time out. Ya right he should have whooped us all. Warbird's are like watching a few planes in a blender. They can suck up a lap in under 10 second's. Get four of them going and there is a blur of planes. Steve Cole came home the winner for the day with 3 wins for 15 points. His new Mustang is a screamer. I know, for three races I tried to catch him but I just couldn't do it. Jon Stychno tied for second for the day with a 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Adam also tied for second with 3 2nd place finishes. Just couldn't catch Steve. Germone came in third with a 2nd and two 3rd's. His highly modified mustand is one of the fastest planes out there.

The points standings through 4 races in T-28 is Guy 55, Jon S 51, Adam 48, Merle 43, Steve 42, Patrick 36, Brian G 35, Jeff 32, Brian B 30, Phil 29, Bryon Y 27, Roy 24, Dave 24, Todd 22, Robbie 12, Tony 11, Ian 8, Justin 4, Elliot 2. Warbird standing through 4 races Steve 42, Adam 41, Brian G 41, Jon 39, Patrick 25, Merle 17, Jeff 14, Ricky 6.

Hope to see you next month on the 5th of July.
