2017 R4S @ New Castle Va
Yinz missed a good one.
A total of 25 pilots few 160 flights over 8 days (6 contest and 2 practice days) for a total of 15,397 x-c miles. The longest flight was 165 miles and the fastest was at a speed of 68 mph (over 147 miles) by Karl Striedieck. No junk was made and there were a total of two off field landings.
This just reconfirms the status of NCI as a premier mountain racing site not only for the conditions and environs (being held during the fall raptor / monarch butterfly migration) but also for the outstanding social scene created through the efforts and hospitality of the club members.
A HUGE wad of thanks to all the club volunteers that donated their time and help to make this event possible once again.
