WIPRO Pilots Finish Strong At NMPRA District 5 Championship Race In Muncie!

WIPRO pilots made a good showing at the NMPRA District 5 Championship Race held over two days at the AMA site in Muncie, IN. Darwin Larson (WIPRO) 1st, Mick Warning (WIPRO) 2nd, Tom Scott (CAPS) 3rd, Bernie Vanderleest (WIPRO) 4th, Lonnie Finch (MOKAN) 5th and Jim Nikodem (WIPRO) 6th. Darwin was undefeated in 10 rounds of racing with Mick only one point back. The weather was warm with light winds making for some very competitive racing with a good field of 21 pilots.

A big thank you to Terry & Sandi Frazer, Ed Smith and Tom Scott for running another great race. Thanks to Kevin Matney for donating a flight box kit for the pilots raffle.

YOU Can Compete For The Lead Goose Trophy!

The prestigious ”Lead Goose” traveling trophy is awarded to the pilot that accumulates the most points in a series of AMA 424 pylon races held in NMPRA District 5. The NMPRA point system is used. Each pilot’s top six race point totals will be used to determine the champion. You do not need to be a member of the NMPRA to compete for the trophy but it is highly recommended that you join the NMPRA. You do not need to live in District 5 to compete, but only points earned in the District 5 series of races will count.

The 2009 racing season was a good one. We are looking for more pilots to join the fun in 2010. 424 Pylon Racing is the most fun you can have in R/C for the money. If you have questions on how to get started or need information please e-mail Bernie Vanderleest.

Pylon racing has come to an end in Rockford, IL but the WIPRO pilots wish to sincerely thank Orv Steinmetz and Ron Monk for their longtime contributions to pylon racing.

Join the National Miniature Pylon Racing Association - NMPRA. The NMPRA is the official Special Interest Group of the Academy Of Model Aeronautics for pylon racing. The NMPRA accumulates 424 National Championship points for NMPRA members. Your best 6 races are counted for the 424 National Championship.
