No, I don’t know. I started to look at the schedules and gave up.
I see why Ken gave up. I've just been on lwysa.org as well as a couple of Crossfire soccer sites and schedule sharing is not their strong suit. That said, it doesn't look like the big events start until the second week of June.
Ken and I did encounter some after-school tryouts last Wednesday, I think it was, but once they were done, the fields were free again and at least three different tARC groups put in practice flights.
Have fun Friday, Ken. BEMRC will be flying at the Raceway on Saturday and the biggest hazard is likely to be warm (from a Seattle perspective) temperatures.

Wow, what a great day at 60 Acres! The wind behaved and the sun was great and @Joel Shepherd and I had a great time. Here’s a teaser shot of Big Mamma on 3 29 mm engines.

A bunch of photos from last Friday with @Joel Shepherd: https://photos.app.goo.gl/4qan6tYzCbwWhuC46
And I plan to do it again this coming Friday, whether permitting, and or Sunday, soccer permitting.

I will likely be out with Ingraham Rocketry midday Sunday, soccer permitting. I will likely fly a Last Of Its Kind motor, a 29mm CTI G250. 110 Ns in less than half a second burn time.
if I knew for sure there was no soccer on Sunday, I wouldn't bother with Friday. Oh heck, I'll probably do both...
Have fun guys. Hopefully by Sunday Avis and I will be relaxing after the tARC finals and maybe doing the usual Udvar-Hazy prowl.
@Neutronium lives nearby. We need him to drive over and look.
Vroom vroom
Update: the weather on Friday looks less good than the weather tomorrow (Wednesday). I have a doc appointment at noon so I could be at 60 acres by two and that is the plan. Subday depends on soccer.
Perfect day! (knock on balsa) I'm looking at about 1:30 this afternoon (Wednesday).

Guilty as charged.
Awesome ! I still have a 24mm CTI F240 3G VMAX motor
Today was good, the winds were highly variable though. No high flights.
Despite today’s crap, tomorrow is looking decent, though you can expect the grass to be damp.
Maybe @Neutronium knows a guy who knows a guy who can drive by 60 Acres and see whether the soccer teams are occupying the fields. But I’m going to assume that we can launch.
I plan to be there sometime between 11:30 and 12:30, earlier if I can (big if). If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll keep you informed.
As an incentive, for those of you who like a good CATO…I’ve put 3 (count ‘em, three) of the high risk D12-3 engines into a cluster and we’ll see what happens, perhaps, when 3 D engines CATO at once. Bwahahaha!
See you, I hope, on Sunday!

Bravo!
I'll swing by around 10:15; if there's anything happening on our field I'll ping you.
Thank you. Much appreciated
