Main Field Closed Due to Flooding
The main field has started to take on water. As of Tuesday
April 29th about 100 feet of the runways are under water and there is
water under the shelter. Once the water recedes it will take a
week or so to dry up the parking lot so that it can sustain traffic
again. Thanks to Bill Jennings for going down to the field on
Tuesday to get an update on the conditions.
The board has signed an agreement with the
Scott County Fairgrounds to use their main parking field as our alternate
flying area when our field is not accessible. This agreement runs
through November 2008. If you fly at the fairgrounds please call or send
an email to Mike Burk with the date flown. We pay the fairgrounds
an $18 per day usage fee. Details on the fairgrounds site layout is
included in the 2007 and 2008 Rosters. You can look at the 2008
Roster online under the Member's Only link to the left. Contact
the board or webmaster if you need the password. The username is tcrc. If there are any changes in the site availability it will be
posted on the home page.
Since our two flying sites are very close please only fly at the open
site as to avoid any radio interference.
Micro Pylon Race Postponed
Due to rising flood waters moving toward our field the first Micro
Pylon League race which was scheduled for Sunday May 4th has been
postponed to the alternate date of Sunday May 18th. Warm-ups will
be at 12PM and the first race at 1:30PM.
This give the races a little more time to get there war bird ready.
The webmaster's P-51D Mustang nicknamed "Spare Parts" due to a flight
testing mishap is ready to race. And as seen on the Military
Channel - the -51D Mustang was named the best war bird in history.
River Level Watch
With the recent spring rain it is time again to keep an eye on the river
level. Click the
Jordan River Monitor link to the left to see the current level.
Our field starts to flood from the east side when the level reads 18.5
feet. At around 19.5 water is under the shelter and in the parking
lot.
All of the remaining starting benches and biffy were moved to the top
of the hill by the sheds by Pat Dziuk on Saturday April 26th. Let's hope
for low spring water levels this year.
Check the website the morning of any spring events to get the latest
on the field conditions and cancelations.
