That is very fast for a lawnmower!

Apparently you are no better at driving a lawnmower than you are at flying the masters sequence :o)

Dirt road course 23.43MPH average i should have been in the 24 or 25 mph range.

I no longer have the ES pipe.

How does one have a bad qualifying run in a lawnmower race? Perhaps you should have put the mower deck up!

Would have loved to be there myself. Just right now my budget is still about zero. Hopefully i'll make some money this weekend at the lawnmower race. I had a bad qualifying run and barely made the race. Starting 32nd this year out of 33. So even that prospect is slim. 

Do you still have that ES carbon pipe?

I had the honor of the last flight of the weekend and I swear the winds were so high that I almost fell over. Even with the gusts it was a FANTASTIC contest, very well attended and well run. It was my first time there and I will be sure to make it back every year it is held.

Thanks for a great time guys!
Anthony

Hey to everyone who came to the contest. I think I speak for everyone from the "Mob" that it was heartwarming to see the support.
I checked the weather report and it said we had gusts up to 40 MPH yesterday.Oh really? Felt like more to me. The turbulance was as bad as anything I have ever experienced before. Lots of E. guys were using up their mils. Lots of broken landing gears and wheel pants but nothing terrible. It was so bad landing that people were clapping if you didn't damage your plane.
We had a huge field in FAI and the skill level was very high. Makes me very proud to see the midwest having viability again. I get the feeling that pattern flying in our area is getting stronger and gaining some much needed momentum despite the sagging economy. I can't wait to see the new blood the Peoria contest will introduce to the sport. It should be interesting. Take care and see you at the Nats soon. Mike
