thought being able use same motors another class Quarter Midget little background PGRC over past several years have held least three races year site both Q-500 Midget races entails closing club field both days about 10 hours Q-500 has growing popularity et dwindled support Mostly due noise being highly populated area added cost additional equipment just werent new contestants After several et races course workers outnumbered contestants Board Directors didnt want have et races along came et rules change seemed fit lots local clubs district Contest Board member District IV talked lot racers oniy two complaints about proposed rule changes solicited him opposition either didnt speak out before vote spoke out after rule changes voted passed have gladly attended last two Nats events made mention 40 et contestants wonder people ever put races local club fields Please correct Im wrong last Nats also saw 119 entries Q-500 Most racers District IV have talked welcome chance able race another event building another type airplane swapping motors also realize Henry Nelson has said will just create super et motor Again clubs district can will put special exceptions contest sanctions

thought being able use same motors another class Quarter Midget little background PGRC over past several years have held least three races year site both Q-500 Midget races entails closing club field both days about 10 hours Q-500 has growing popularity et dwindled support Mostly due noise being highly populated area added cost additional equipment just werent new contestants After several et races course workers outnumbered contestants Board Directors didnt want have et races along came et rules change seemed fit lots local clubs district Contest Board member District IV talked lot racers oniy two complaints about proposed rule changes solicited him opposition either didnt speak out before vote spoke out after rule changes voted passed have gladly attended last two Nats events made mention 40 et contestants wonder people ever put races local club fields Please correct Im wrong last Nats also saw 119 entries Q-500 Most racers District IV have talked welcome chance able race another event building another type airplane swapping motors also realize Henry Nelson has said will just create super et motor Again clubs district can will put special exceptions contest sanctions

thought being able use same motors another class Quarter Midget little background PGRC over past several years have held least three races year site both Q-500 Midget races entails closing club field both days about 10 hours Q-500 has growing popularity et dwindled support Mostly due noise being highly populated area added cost additional equipment just werent new contestants After several et races course workers outnumbered contestants Board Directors didnt want have et races along came et rules change seemed fit lots local clubs district Contest Board member District IV talked lot racers oniy two complaints about proposed rule changes solicited him opposition either didnt speak out before vote spoke out after rule changes voted passed have gladly attended last two Nats events made mention 40 et contestants wonder people ever put races local club fields Please correct Im wrong last Nats also saw 119 entries Q-500 Most racers District IV have talked welcome chance able race another event building another type airplane swapping motors also realize Henry Nelson has said will just create super et motor Again clubs district can will put special exceptions contest sanctions

thought being able use same motors another class Quarter Midget little background PGRC over past several years have held least three races year site both Q-500 Midget races entails closing club field both days about 10 hours Q-500 has growing popularity et dwindled support Mostly due noise being highly populated area added cost additional equipment just werent new contestants After several et races course workers outnumbered contestants Board Directors didnt want have et races along came et rules change seemed fit lots local clubs district Contest Board member District IV talked lot racers oniy two complaints about proposed rule changes solicited him opposition either didnt speak out before vote spoke out after rule changes voted passed have gladly attended last two Nats events made mention 40 et contestants wonder people ever put races local club fields Please correct Im wrong last Nats also saw 119 entries Q-500 Most racers District IV have talked welcome chance able race another event building another type airplane swapping motors also realize Henry Nelson has said will just create super et motor Again clubs district can will put special exceptions contest sanctions

thought being able use same motors another class Quarter Midget little background PGRC over past several years have held least three races year site both Q-500 Midget races entails closing club field both days about 10 hours Q-500 has growing popularity et dwindled support Mostly due noise being highly populated area added cost additional equipment just werent new contestants After several et races course workers outnumbered contestants Board Directors didnt want have et races along came et rules change seemed fit lots local clubs district Contest Board member District IV talked lot racers oniy two complaints about proposed rule changes solicited him opposition either didnt speak out before vote spoke out after rule changes voted passed have gladly attended last two Nats events made mention 40 et contestants wonder people ever put races local club fields Please correct Im wrong last Nats also saw 119 entries Q-500 Most racers District IV have talked welcome chance able race another event building another type airplane swapping motors also realize Henry Nelson has said will just create super et motor Again clubs district can will put special exceptions contest sanctions
