2024 Tallman Legacy Q40 Race

[rs-ssfan]

Heartland Speed Freakz is happy to announce the 2024 Mike Tallman Legacy Q40 Pylon Race. You probably know this by now, but HSF puts on an annual race to honor our great friend and competitor, Mike Tallman, for all he did in pylon racing. The race will be held on September 21st & 22nd, with the course set up on the 20th for practice.

As it has been in the past, the race will be a 2 day Q40 race held at Lake Afton in Goddard (just west of Wichita) Kansas. For those of you that have come out in the past, you've experienced the highly competitive, yet laid back race atmosphere that we strive for. For those of you that haven't come out, I dare you to come experience it first hand. As I said it will be at Lake Afton RC Field, which Mike had a hand in building, it has both an asphalt and grass runway (side by side). It also has a dedicated concrete launch pad that allows us plenty of room to stretch out for race horse starts. I've yet to find a bad seat in the pits to see the close competition that this race is becoming known for.

We are still in the process of finalizing prizes for this year but I can tell you that we will have a JR T8+4 transmitter and receiver to give away as a door prise. Once we finalize the rest of it, I'll post it.

*RULES DEVIATION* - In the event that you receive a light and a cut on the same lap at Pylon 1, the cut will stand and a refly will not be issued.

I know we are a ways out but if you plan on attending, post here or shoot me an email @ lfinchcpa-sbcglobal.net (you know what to do to make it work) and let me know your AMA# as well as teammates.

I look forward to seeing you all at the race.

Flyer to follow shortly.

Lonnie, I'll throw another 150.00 into the fast time pot.

[rs-ssfan]

That right there is why you gotta love this little sport of ours. Rocket you are too kind and a heck of a guy.

That will make the FT prize $300.

Teamed with Richmond and Raquet

Looks like we're going to have a decent turnout, pilots list added to first post, and the money just keeps growing. Hank D sent over another $150 and said do what I want with it. I've decided to "spread the wealth" with it and add it to the place finishers. So now we'll have the following cash prizes:
$300 - First
$200 - Second
$150 - Third
$450 - Fast Time

See you all in September.
