WGC 2017 - Benalla

[Renny[_2_]]

I was just looking at the entry list for Benalla and did not see Dick Butler's name as entered for the Open Class. Bill Gawthrop's name is listed for the Open Class, but Dick's is not. Does anyone know if that was just an oversight, or did Dick withdraw, or is he just entering late? I do hope he can compete! Thx - Renny

The Concordia has been approved for entry and flight status for the comps here so I would bet that it's just an oversight. FWIW our experimental category rules don't really match to the FAA rules, so special permission needed to be sought to allow it to fly.

Unfortunately not an oversight. US Team will make an announcement when there is more to report.

"Information", I think you are being a bit lose with that word. It was more like "information will be forth coming". Yes, thanks for the clarification, I was wondering about Dick too?
