Control Line Racing got off to a start Monday, July 18, after some brutal weather the day before. Rain flooded much of the area on Sunday, causing many to have to detour to get to Muncie.
Making it in the world today takes everything you got. Getting rid of all your worries sure would help a lot. Wouldn’t you like to get away and go where everyone knows you name?
Sunday, July 17, was scheduled to be the first official day of pylon racing. We were scheduled to fly AMA 424 (entry-level QUICKIE). The weather had other ideas as it rained most of the day, causing havoc with large pools of water throughout the site. At one point, we all simultaneously received a national weather service warning.
It was a busy Friday with static judging and then during the afternoon, it was decided to go ahead and fly the first round of flight competition. Four flightlines were used all weekend and we were able to get in the first round that evening.
The 2022 US Pylon Nationals is about to start. I have been in Muncie for the past 14 days working the World Championships (WC) and I am ready to get some flying in for myself.
