Race Schedule

Gentlemen,
Use 6350 College Grove Dr as an address to get to the R/C field. That address is Chollas Lake and the field gate is about 100 yds west of the lake entrance. There is a large sign at the gate entrance. The "event combo" is 5050. Please lock the gate behind you. We will be racing  Mini Sticks and T-28 Trojans. The T-28's must run the stock motor and props. If you have retracts, they must remain down and locked. ( Unless you think you can taxi with the gear retracted!) I plan to be there around 0830 and start setting up around 0900 if you want to help and get a feel for the course. 
 
In the event of rain the "Rain Date" will be the 27th. Let's have a good turn-out !
