Radio Control: Pylon Racing

The year 1997 was interesting for Pylon Racing, which has come to a halt in the East. For the most part, the Midwest races were washouts early on, then turned to 100° heat. The Tangerine in December was the last race of the year. I went to some great races around the country in 1997, and the best ones had one thing in common: They limited the number of entries on each frequency to three, which created the best and most-competitive racing ever. With the simplicity and low cost of changing crystals, frequency limiting should be enforced at all contests.
