Sounds like a good time at Blytheville.

Yes, Blytheville was a great meet, I got home at 2am this morning. The 12hr drive down from Wisconsin was mostly in heavy rain but the race days were all clear. It was a really well run meet, well worth the effort to go.
 "the" in Blytheville is just tossed out by the locals & they pronounce it Blyville.
Lots of cotton fields down there were interesting for this Idaho hillbilly!

Sid... closer pronunciation is Blaville... lived there for 7 years in the 70's...
Fastest I've been on the runway is probably the mid 180's... by then you are either flying or landing depending on weight.

I thought the meet was well run as well.  Brought 2 cars out and got enough passes in both to learn what I needed to learn.   Planning on heading back for the spring meet to test out any changes and get some more seat time.  The only difficulty I had with the course was finding the turnouts on the right side.  The cowl blocked my view to the right.   After a few passes I figured out the visual references that allowed me to exit easily.
