2012 NMPRA District 5 Race Season Back
Underway!
The 2012 NMPRA District 5 is back underway after the race in Kansas City, MO on
April 29,
2012. Start Planning to attend as many District 5 races as possible.
Check The 2012 Schedule Here.
It is important to support the local clubs that
will host races, we lost the great Hilbert, WI races last year due to a lack of
support. Almost all of the races will have multiple classes so there is a racing
event for everyone including the new 426 and EF1 events.
Moe Vereecke Wins 426 NMPRA District 5
Championship, Darwin Larson Wins 424 District 5 Championship!
The remaining 2011 NMPRA District 5 points championships were settled in
Bloomington, IL on September 24 and 25 with Moe Vereecke passing the field to
win the inaugural 426 championship and the traveling Caudron Trophy, Darwin
Larson moved in front of the flock in 424 and took home the prestigious Lead
Goose trophy for a third time. Mike Helsel hung on to win the District 5 EF1
championship after a great start to the season. Terry Frazer won the District 5
Q40 points championship in Muncie in August. Congratulations to all these pilots
on an excellent season.
We enjoyed 2 days of great racing in Bloomington thanks to Jay Cappis and the
SIRS Club. Special thanks are also due to Charlee Smith from Bob Smith
Industries, Don Anderson from Great Planes and Sam San from SAM-RAI racing for
supplying us with some prizes.
We are
tracking NMPRA District 5 season championship points in all events and keeping the
standings updated on this site. We have the prestigious Lead Goose Trophy and
the new Caudron Trophy for the NMPRA District 5 season points championship
winners in the Q500 424 and Q500 426 classes. The camaraderie and excitement at
the races is unsurpassed at any R/C events.
If you have questions on how to get started or need
information please e-mail
Bernie Vanderleest.

YOU Can Compete For The Lead Goose &

The prestigious ”Lead Goose”
traveling trophy is awarded to the pilot that accumulates the most

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.

points in a series of AMA 426 pylon races held in NMPRA District 5.
