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.

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.

"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 > --- > GG > > On Tue, 11 Jun 2002 20:23:28 > Tuffpuppy wrote: > >Marty your videos ROCK!!!!!!!
