To all,



Here in Shelbyville we've been experiencing an unusual long spell of bad

weather and our outlook for the rest of the week doesn't really look any

better. We have experienced two weeks of low ceilings, rain showers and some

pretty severe thunderstorms. Case in point, Paul Bryant's Lightning is still

stuck outside Atlanta, and he landed there on the 9th of September.



We'd love hold this event this coming weekend but if no one can fly in then

it kind of takes the fun out of it.



We are looking at postponing it to the 10th of October. We'd like your

feedback and will make a final decision tomorrow.



Best regards,



Mark

It's always better to fly to a fly-in, but I will be there whenever  you decide to have the event - by either flying or driving.  So whatever  the group thinks will be OK with me.  I do hope we have a great turn out  because I know you guys have put a lot of effort into planning the event.   The last two Lightning homecomings were lots of fun and this one should be even  better.

 See everyone there - whenever.

 Mark,

  

 I understand the monsoon problem. To make it worse, my roof leaks, and a  delay to Oct 10 is cool with me.

  

 Bear's Lightning is stuck in the Atlanta area and he didn't get in touch!!  Tish, tish.

Thanks Buz.

  

 Can you check with the ACRAA (American  Creeper Racing Association of America) and see if they allow all weather rollers  on the creepers??

Bear flew up early for our Sep. engine  seminar to have some paint work and other small bugs looked at. He made it as  far as the general Atlanta vicinity. He waited it out for another day and then  ended up driving up to us late on that Thursday. After the class he flew  commercial home on Monday (that was the plan all along).

  

 Nick and I have been trying to fly down to  your neck of the woods to retrieve Bears plane before they sell it at auction to  pay for snack machine upgrades. Hopefully we'll get down there  soon.

I think Oct 10th would be better for the Green Landings Crew also>  we have been working on making final plans for the event but weather for our  area is also looking bad. Let us know what you decide

Well, not to wish for bad weather, but if you do put things off till the 10th of October, then it would be easier for me to come; finally!

  

 Jim!

  Mark and all,

     CRAP   (Creeper Racing Association  Professionals) have advised that they can change our sanctioning date to the  weekend of 9 and 10 October if required.  They have also checked with both  National Creeper Racing Association and ACRAA (that you mentioned) about  the weather rollers question.  CRAP has advised that it will be OK,  but if any national or world records are set, the record book will  have an asterisk by the record holder's name indicating the new record was  achieved by using special "rubbers".  However, no special  "lubrication" will be allowed.

 Mark, et al,

  

 Follow up on my earlier response.

  

 I have been informed by higher authority that the w/e of Oct 10 isn't such  a good choice after all since we have a commitment on that Saturday. Oct 3 and  17 are better. Darn this weather.

Hi Mark,



    We have been watching the weather also; do whatever suits the majority 

but Joe and I cannot make Oct 10 because of another commitment for that 

weekend.

Hi Mark et alii,

    

   Almost any date works for me...since I don't have a plane or or there!

   I just got off the phone with the folks at CTJ (West Gerogia Regional) and they said they had severe wx. Flooding, schools closed, etc.  Wx still doesn't look good for the next few days.

   I'm really fortunate that the guys there let me park the Lightning in the hangar-they are a great group of aviators.  If any of you get to fly near the airport drop in and say hello.

    

   This weekend is their EAA flyin breakfast and I understand they have a brand new Lightning they will be auctioning off.

    

   Bear

 CTJ is only 30 miles west of my home field at FTY. I might be able to help  with the pilot shuttle to get it to SYI.

Earl, 

   thanks for the offer.  That might be an option based on Nick and Mark's schedule, but I'll let them decide.

   appreciate your help

    

   Bear
