Well the Woodland race is in the books. It was extremely windy Saturday and much better today, with only about 10 kts. straight down the runway. I think the wind scared some folks off, the turnout was pretty light. WCF was very well represented though, with 3 pilots on Saturday and 5 today! It was also great to see other club members Chuck McDonald, Jake Boatman, Wylie Walters, John Reade & Julio Alvarez also show up for some moral support. Julio was taking lots of video, and Jon had his helmet mounted GoPro, so we should have some great video soon!

Saturday:

Huge congratulations to Tony McDonald who won, Jake McDonald 3rd & fast time, & Jon Stychno 4th.

Sunday:

I was able to take first & fast time, Steve Cole and John Stychno were tied for 3rd, so that came down to a fly off. Steve was able to take the win for 3rd, Jon 4th.

So all in all a spectacular weekend of racing. I know Jake and Wylie expressed interest in giving it a shot, so hope to see them out there soon. 3 pole racing is a blast!

Wine Country Flyers kickin' ass!! This is awesome.
Let's see if I got this straight. Saturday was the Parkzone Warbird racing and Sunday was the EF-1?
Is that right?

Regardless, you guys did a fine job representing the club.

Could someone (most likely Tony for Saturday and Red for Sunday) send me an article detailing the experience for our next month's Newsletter?

I just sent out the April Newsletter....check your e-mail....but this would be perfect for next months edition. It's all about maintaining the stream of content, with plenty of content the Newsletter is easy.

Any articles submitted, and also photos...the more photos the better...will be faithfully added to my Dropbox account and saved forever. If I get inundated with good stuff I may have to spread it out a bit, but don't hesitate to submit ANYTHING. Submit something while your memory is fresh and rest assured that I will keep it.

Dave,

Each day was a separate EF-1 race. I don't think they had any PZ racers.

Red,

Okay, I got it. Reading one of your earlier posts about this event I misunderstood.
Yet still I throw it out there...you think you could come up with a newsletter article for next month?

It sounds like it would be very entertaining.

Here's a link to a video of Steve Cole and I having a blast during round 5 at the Woodland Davis EF-1 race.

Be sure to watch full screen and in HD.
