Here is the Birthday race report.

Some additional comments worthy to note. Jimmy Jr. won F1 with a frame that is at least five years old and got second in Can-Am with one that is over four years old. Edsel's Can-Am is almost four years old. Grandi and Eric both have run their frames may times this past year. Just sayin'...

60 total entries for the day with two classes. No blown motors, imagine that.

I came close to running one - I had my f1 with that old faithful motor geared 9-29 early on and she was flying in the mid-high 4.6s and 7s in practice before she ran out of brush - at least she went out fast!
