site itself airbase Wilmington OH active commercial field some old abandoned runways addition active portion Upon arriving Sunday racing competitors found circles laid out abandoned runways bad runways good condition site runway 148 ft wide must put 162-ft circle racing circle painted off edges runway grass side flying over corn side over soy beans other good real problem runway itself rough dirty possible fly circles damaging models concrete old badly broken up cracks between slabs large filled weeds adjacent slabs concrete quite uneven spot racing circle landing aircraft would hit 2-in curb due unevenness slabs Clearly unacceptable situation competi tors went Nats management ultimatum better circles no fliers Now about mile across field large ramp adjacent taxiway RC flight areas located ramp perfect concrete smooth glass clean ramp CL Aerobatics circles placed remaining 80% being allocated parking RC events CL Aerobatics After some discussion between Nats management racing competitors agreed circle could laid out adjacent Stunt circles fliers themselves would have lay out get painted So number us rounded up painting machinery 100ft tape proceeded paint what turned out best racing circle weve seen Nats quite some time circle no practice low entry level racing events turned out just barely adequate second story get-together happened after Rat Race over Thursday becomes apparent time Control Line Racing needs organize some form special interest group along lines PAMPA MACA NMPRA etc need kind organization has two major facets First crying need organization

novice expert order see what takes get thing rolling John Ballard agreed investigate PAMPAs organization report interested racing people Second concensus rules racing should changed adequate testing changes before adopted Example great deal sentiment open up Goodyear 35 cc engines larger planes fact rules proposals AMA now to event nobody knows what size new planes should keep competitive current size existing equipment rendered obsolete overnight Nobody has built tested larger airplanes larger engines rules should changed base ex perience zero Third some form very slow racing event needed newcomer entry event event hopefully flown over majority country under same set rules would become AMA official event rules would controllable kept nonAMA because people competing event would set rather having subject non-racing AMA membership other assorted rules-makers Also rules could changed quickly conditions warranted unlike slow laborious process required AMA event formation CL Racing special interest group will happen overnight certainly support people events John Ballard has agreed focal point activity interested meeting Nats drop John line express concern address John Ballard
