We have experienced two weeks of low ceilings, rain showers and some pretty severe thunderstorms. Case in point, Paul Bryant's Lightning is still stuck outside Atlanta, and he landed there on the 9th of September. We'd love hold this event this coming weekend but if no one can fly in then it kind of takes the fun out of it. We are looking at postponing it to the 10th of October. We'd like your feedback and will make a final decision tomorrow. Best regards, Mark Mark Stauffer Production Manager Arion Aircraft 2842 Hwy 231 North Shelbyville, TN 37160 (931) 680-1781 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:11:04 AM PST US From: N1BZRich@AOL.COM Subject: Re: Lightning-List: 3rd Annual Lightning Homecoming It's always better to fly to a fly-in, but I will be there whenever you decide to have the event - by either flying or driving. So whatever the group thinks will be OK with me. I do hope we have a great turn out because I know you guys have put a lot of effort into planning the event. The last two Lightning homecomings were lots of fun and this one should be even better. See everyone there - whenever.

Can you check with the ACRAA (American Creeper Racing Association of America) and see if they allow all weather rollers on the creepers?? Mark and all, CRAP (Creeper Racing Association Professionals) have advised that they can change our sanctioning date to the weekend of 9 and 10 October if required. They have also checked with both National Creeper Racing Association and ACRAA (that you mentioned) about the weather rollers question. CRAP has advised that it will be OK, but if any national or world records are set, the record book will have an asterisk by the record holder's name indicating the new record was achieved by using special "rubbers". However, no special "lubrication" will be allowed.

Mark, et al, Follow up on my earlier response. I have been informed by higher authority that the w/e of Oct 10 isn't such a good choice after all since we have a commitment on that Saturday. Oct 3 and 17 are better. Darn this weather.

I just got off the phone with the folks at CTJ (West Gerogia Regional) and they said they had severe wx. Flooding, schools closed, etc.? Wx still doesn't look good for the next few days. I'm really fortunate that the guys there let me park the Lightning in the hangar-they are a?great group of aviators.? If any of you get to fly near the airport drop in and say hello. This weekend is their EAA flyin breakfast and I understand they have a brand new Lightning they will be auctioning off.
