Along that note of the Creeper races…most likely a night activity while cookin dinner and having a few. After a suggestion from Buz and a bunch here in Shelbyville thinking it may be a good idea we will be holding our first annual Lightning Speed dash. This will be a dash from SYI to Tullahoma about 12 miles away or so and back. You will be timed from brake release to when you fly back over the Lightning Hanger. Yes we will have a ground observer in THA so no cutting corners!...so anyone interested please come to the Fly-in and give it a go. Going to figure out a prize for the fastest…..

Hi World Record Earl,

You will be missed - definitely by the fashion police. So be sure to bring those "world record pants" to the Lightning 3rd annual fly-in on the weekend of 25-26 September. Some fun activities are planned; like creeper races.

Can I assume that there will be burgers and brats and your favorite adult beverage as well?  Sounds like a great deal of fun.  Wish I was still there....and had a Lightning to participate!  Brian W.

How about a separate class for Light Sport.

To answer World Record Earl's questions about will there be age classes for the creeper races and will there be a light sport class for the speed dash - the answer is - maybe. Obviously a lot will depend on how many show up and or sign up for the various "events". As far as age classes for the creeper races, to enter you have to be a "kid at heart" but we will probably not check your IDs. We really haven't even set the various creeper events, but some considerations are drag races, slalom runs, road courses, and oval tracks. We might even have 2 person team events with one team member on the creeper and one pushing. Everything just depends on what sounds like fun at the time. I suspect serious racers might even bring special racing creepers.

For the speed dash remember that pure speed alone does not win these types of races. Other major contributors to a fast elapsed time for the round trip are accurate point to point navigation, knowing how to make the fastest 180 degree turn without loosing too much speed, knowing what altitude to fly to get the best performance from your airplane for a trip of only about 30 miles round trip, knowing what climb speed to use to get to that altitude, and of course knowing what altitude to fly to best use the winds going and coming on the round trip. I have seen Cessna 150s beat Cessna 172s, 175s, and Cherokee 180s on these type of speed dashes just because the 150 pilot flew his airplane more efficiently on that particular day. However, nothing is set in stone at this point and we would be happy to listen to any suggested handicapping procedure.

It should be lots of fun,
Blue Skies,
Buz
