RC Pylon Racing
RC Pylon Racing faces significant changes as of January 1, 2000, including new barrier cage requirements and a revised rule book. The first prohibition on tuned mufflers in Sport Quickie events aims to limit speeds. The 1999 Alferd Packer Trophy Dash showcased 24 entries, with notable performances and awards. Sideline judging and remote signaling are expected to become common due to new regulations.

QUICKIE 500 RECORD: It’s great to be able to trumpet an up-andcoming
young Pylon flier’s accomplishments. In this case it’s Tanner
Pacini’s; he set a Junior record in Quickie 500 (AMA event 428), or Q-
500, at the annual Winterfest two-day meet hosted by the Speedworld
R/C Flyers at their field near Phoenix, Arizona.
I received the accompanying photo and the following note from
Tanner’s parents Tony and Donna Pacini, who are proprietors of the
Valley Hobby Shop in Prescott Valley, Arizona.

WE’RE HALFWAY THROUGH racing season, and it’s time to
seek a fresh start in better, more organized pit gear. So let’s get
moving! The poster boy for this little makeover exercise is upand-
comer John Z. Williams. John is one of the best pilots I’ve
ever seen, and he always brings fast equipment.
