Glad to hear the lakebed is in good shape. I hope to bring one rocket to fly. It should be "O" so much fun.
YOU ROCK DEREK !

I know Mark lives in Hurricane.
You know that Hurricane and St. George are quite far away from Moab though, yes? Like 4 or 5 hours drive. I don't get down that way all that often. If you DO ever find yourself up in this area (Moab), definitely get in touch beforehand.
I'm trying REALLY hard to get time off from work to make it to Octoberfest. Not only do I want to fly there, and have a couple of projects that really need a launch like this to do right, but I'd love to meet y'all, Mark, Wayco, et al, at the launch. It's not looking very good right now, but I'm not giving up hope. If the stars align, I just might make the 7-8 hour drive to Jean Lake and put a couple in the sky with y'all.

Alrighty! Looks Like I gotta get a vinyl order in!I live in hurricane. I will be doing quite a bit of work in Moab...
I just got back from almost a 3 week run there... I'll have to hook up with you next time we are out there!
Looks like I will be there for octoberfest!
Only a 6 hour drive. Hmmm....maybe, just maybe.....

Alex, you must go. My "being able to make it" is getting trickier and harder every day - just received another bit of bad news today in fact. But I'm still REALLY hoping to get there, and I'm beginning to "take extraordinary measures".
If I do make it, I'll be bringing a few cool things to fly, and one that I really need good video footage of - you would be just the one for the job. Think triple canted cluster of skidmark motors surrounding a nice bright red long-burn motor in the middle. Yeah, I definitely need good video of that launch. I'm also flying a two stage white lightning to red rocket - again, it would be great to have video. Don't you see I NEED you, man?
Plus, it would be cool just to see ya.

There will be a raffle, exact details to be determined, and here are the prizes at this time (expecting/hoping for more):
Always Ready Rocketry (may also attend) - TBD
Wildman Rocketry - $50 gift certificate
Spherachutes - multiple parachutes
Balsa Machining (will attend) - TBD (likely AT DMS motors)
Madcow - TBD kit
Missile Works - RRC2+ altimeter
Aerotech - Astrobee-D rocket kit (nice!)
TBD means the vendor committed to supporting the launch, but unknown in what way yet. Thank You to all the vendors supporting the launch with raffle prizes!

I wondered where the non-locals went to play! Should I meet you in the bar or in the Bingo pavilion?I have a room booked at the Gold Strike that weekend..perhaps I should stop by the launch.

What are the rules for the night launches? Are stobes required or are the 300 leds that two of my rockets have satisfactory? (my other two have flashing LED's in addition to static strip lights) Are clusters allowed? Any motor size or altitude restrictions? Looking forward to the launch and hoping for good weather conditions.

I'll make two lists - one that is "confirmed" and one that is "probably/maybe". Please chime in if you are coming and not yet on the list, or if you are showing up on the wrong list. I'll update this post as necessary.
