Thanks Michael! Hoping we have the fastest Waiex there. Actually I think we have a chance to place or win our class, as from my experience the VW is only ready for every 1 in 3 airventures.

@daleandee, take note of the class definition!

Class: Experimental - Sportsman

Class Definition:Any Experimental Category aircraft using a VW or Corvair normally aspirated engine conversion.

Anyone able to give me a ride from Camp Scholler to the open house (or could meet elsewhere on the west side of the airport as needed)? TIA.

I plan to be there by noon at the latest. See you there. Art, if you dont get a ride over earlier I can give you a ride on my way. I believe we spoke for a good bit last year standing behind Casey’s airplane.
