What a Launch, you guys rule

DateSunday, March 16, 2008 at 9:36PM

Brad Shea posted a question on our group site at RocketryPlanet.org, "What was your favorite flight of the weekend? I didn't have to think long, It was the First rack of Rockets on Saturday. For the first time in club history spanning back to the years of The Carolina Space Modelers say around 1993 we had 24 Estes and Mid Power rockets on the Pad in one rack. Plus, in a span of less than 3 and a half hours Saturday we flew over 145 rockets. We also had the most ever participants in a drag race, 5 rockets left the pad in one launch. Thanks to the efforts of many dedicated ROCC members that helped Saturday we "ROCCed the house".
Dave Hutchinson and the Pack 214 scouts deserve a big hand in helping us set these records on a day that almost did not happen cause of the weather outlook. Also, we have to give a big thumbs up to Charlie Ogino who had a qualifying flight for the TARC competition that is almost a shoe in for the finals. Doc Russell got his NAR L2 cert Saturday and Mike O'hara got his NAR L1 on Sunday. Should I say more about our group, nah, if you missed this launch, shame on you.


Thanks to All,

Ralph Roberts
