News Flash:

Wintonbury race postponed. See below.

Our next race is on Sunday June 2, 2013 at Ellington, CT.  Please make a note.  If you show up at the originally scheduled "next race" date you might be sad if you want to race.  The 2013 Racing Schedule has been modified to reflect this change.  Please put a new copy on your fridge and the small one in your wallet.  Also those behind in building or need to now catch up, please pretend we only have two-weeks as before.  We actually have a month as I write.

Westover AFB Practice

Our 2 day race is cancelled. However, we can still keep the dates of June 14 and 15 [and/or June 16, 2013] as practice days. The security requirements are anyone entering the base has to be cleared 14 days in advance. This requires you to send me your name, address, date of birth and social security number by May 30. Please call 860-644-9072 and leave this information.  On May 31, I will deliver it to the base and destroy my copy. If there is the slightest possibility you will attend, give me your info because you will not be allowed to enter last minute. These are the rules! -Lloyd Burnham

Lloyd's original thread thread is still active for those that wish to participate.  Please continue to chime in with your name (only) as you see fit.  Bottom line is that Lloyd needs your info in accordance with base access requirements outlined above if you wish to participate.

History and background:

Of special note are plans for a multiple-day high-speed event at our nation’s largest Air Force Reserve Base, Westover Air Force Base located in Chicopee MA. This former venue pre-dates my involvement in racing. I have heard many tall tales spoken by club members about the days of yore where many great races including those during the Nats where held prior to the AMA obtaining their national site.  Thank you Irv Thurrott for heading up efforts as CD for this event.  Thank you Bob Beaudette for producing a National Flyer.

Learn more here.

When the time draws near NEPRO (forum) members may still pre-register for this event. Those traveling are permitted to pre-register by telephone and email or in the "Contact Us" section of this site before the drop of the first flag.

Our President spoke of the event:

"We have a very exciting race schedule this year highlighted by a return to Westover Air Force Base. After several years of effort, WAFB in Chicopee, MA has become available for us to race AMA 426 and 422 Quarter Midget.  National advertising is in place and we look forward to having some of the top pylon racers in the country attend.  Due to security reasons, all people entering the base will have to be cleared two-weeks in advance.  This means, pilots, workers, spectators, kids and spouses.  Name and driver's license number will be required in advance and must be shown at the gate upon entry.  There will be no exceptions on entry unless pre-approved.  Keith Palmer has graciously volunteered to make trophies similar to our new 426 NEPRO perpetual award won by Craig Korsen last year."
