This thread is going off topic but I have to with Walter on this one,
The last ISR had over 80 individual heat races with 3 pilots per heat on
average with only 3 or 4 model fatalities.
That's not a carnage fest by any stretch of imagination.
Yes, negative talk will keep potential racers away. We are working hard to
get slope racing going again see www.sloperacing.com for info. So we try to
keep things in perspective about the carnage.
Btw. I have one of Marty's video shorts and they are good. Get one.
I am also looking forward to Dave's tape on the 2002 ISR. He shot a bunch of
footage. Including me stuffing my Acacia at base B. ouch!
Well maybe that won't make the video..
Also while I am promoting other peoples stuff go get the VR98 video from
Paul. He had them on sale and it is the BEST I have seen at showing what we
do in F3F.

Geez Walter,
Lighten Up. UNL MOM has enough appeal to with stand a little hype
advertising about a new video release. I love to see a good crash caught on
tape just much as the next guy and I guarantee it does keep me from racing.
As I understand from reading many accounts about the old race series, it was
more a matter lack of support in running the races than the crashes that
killed the series. It also sounded like what made the most recent race at
Davenport such a success was the great support those that stepped up and
organized the event received from several volunteers. The excitement is
there and as long as there is help to run a quality event talk of a few
crashes are not going to keep the racers away.
See Ya,

I am sure, especially if Dave Reese says so, that you have produced an
excellent video. All the head on destruction at Davenport MOM? I realize
that you want to sell your videos, but you have to realize that a lot of
people are putting in a lot of effort to get the ISR MOM going again. I
know a lot of people are scared off by the notion that there is just too
much carnage at a unlimited MOM event and are hesitant to race because of
this. If you take in the amount of racing that took place there during the
last event, and count the head on destruction, you may find there was
very little of this. I hope people considering this race will realize that
in spite of your advertising. Walter
