MANY WORDS have been written about the "fun" of 1/2A Pylon Racing. Well, it doesn't take long after mixing capability with competitiveness before Fun is spelled Win and Win means Fast! In the Northwest, where 1/2A Pylon Racing has really grown and developed (don't believe everything you read from California), it is a serious racing event. In terms of the number of participants and number of races held, it is a clear favorite. The latest vintage of 1/2A Racer is generally one of the fastest models at the local field (flat-out speeds are approaching 90 honest mph). This speed flown around a short course means race times in the 1:20's which, when combined with that 24,000 to 25,000 rpm TD howl, can generate large chunks of excitement.
