Saturday May 01 AND Sunday, May 02, 2010 come back to Northern Ohio where it all started! The Skybusters Rocketry Club, NAR #535, AND the Northern Ohio Tripoli Rocketry Association (NOTRA - TRA #003) are pleased to announce the TENTH Great Lakes Regional Meet Revisited Launch. A first ever "Great Crayon Rocket Launch" and a Hi-Tech H45 Drag Race are the featured events plus we will have a plethora of rocket raffle prizes (We are still accepting donations/ideas for prizes). Both low power multi-pad rails will be set up to host Scout groups and the like, and for competition flying (TBA).

Our on-site vendor will be Wildman Rocketry-Ohio. Wildman is taking pre-orders and can be reached at http://oh.wildmanrocketry.com/. In addition, Wildman has a Hi-Tech H45 Drag Race special available for $99 including rocket kit, CTI 3 grain case, and reload. Flying times are 9AM to 4PM daily.

If you are planning on flying hybrid motors, please contact email Dan Vento or Chris Pearson by April 29th.

There will be incentives for Range Safety Officer, Launch Controller, and Pad Manger shifts (2 hour shifts). We will also need help with registration and raffle ticket sales.

Setup will be on Friday April 30th 12PM.

SEE YOU AT THE LAUNCH!!!

These rocket meets were started in the 1970s here in Northern Ohio and eventually turned into the first LDRS launches which were held in Medina, OH. The GLRMR-X will be held at our Amherst, OH field.

We have a large, flat farm to use with a FAA waiver to one mile. Flights thru "L" motors are possible. We are HyperTEK, RATT Works, Sky Ripper and CONTRAIL Hybrid equipped. Porta-Johns will be on site. There is a SUBWAY restaurant just up the road at Rt. 60, or BYOF & Drink (No alcohol during launch hours).
