Jim Nikodem Stopped Darwin Larson's Win Streak At Bloomington, IL But Darwin Took The Lead In The NMPRA District 5 424 Championship!

Darwin Larson took first place honors on Saturday to extend his NMPRA District 5 424 winning streak to three straight races. Jim Nikodem took first place on Sunday but it was not good enough to retain his lead in the chase for the prestigious Lead Goose Trophy. We enjoyed two days of some very competitive racing. Special thanks go to Jay Cappis, Mike Wilson and the rest of the SIRS Club for bringing pylon racing back to central Illinois.

Thanks to Bob Smith Industries, Jett Engineering, APC Propellers, Darrol Cady R/C, Hobbyland of Bloomington, Super T R/C and Great Planes/Hobbico Hobby Distributors For Donating Prizes. Make Sure To Patronize These Businesses!

The next race in the chase is in Hilbert, WI on August 8 & 9!

YOU Can Compete For The Lead Goose Trophy!

This year the prestigious ”Lead Goose” traveling trophy will be 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 will be 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.

Apr 25 -  Kansas City, MO (KCRC)

The 2009 racing season is off to a great start. We are looking for more pilots to join the fun. 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.
