I'm sorry if this is covered on the website, but do we know if vendors will there on Friday afternoon? I'll need to buy a DMS UDDT for a few flights on Friday and Saturday morning.

Probably....but if not I am sure someone there would have one you can borrow. I cant see either of the motor vendors missing a day of flying.

Sounds awesome Rich! My dad and I are looking forward to a fun weekend as usual. We'll be there Friday midday - Monday. Looking forward to seeing everyone and helping out where we can with the event. We both have some stuff to donate to the raffle and I'm intending on thinning out my collection of parts and partially complete projects I just don't have time for anymore while we are there. I need to get some things organized but I'll also make a post in the Yard Sale forum so folks can reference that as well.

I'm sure Bob or the other vendor (I cannot remember his name at the moment!!!) would have one. If not, I have one that you could borrow, and like Rich said, there will be many of us there that will have them that you could borrow from!

As it turns out, I had one hiding in the bottom of my range box. I guess it's good to empty it out once in a while!
It’s going to be 94 on Saturday. Phew!

Looks like Sunday might get called at some point for being over 100. Bring your Gatorade!
For @rharshberger, what's the most reliable source of weather predictions for the area? I was looking at the Weather Underground forecast for Eltopia and the NWS regional forecast. They mostly agree, but a few degrees difference in temperature might mean the difference between flying and not flying.
At this time there is nothing on the web site about vendors. https://tri-cities-rocketeers.weebly.com/sod_blaster.html
But, Both Bob Grossfeld and Chris and Harlan will be there.
Hmm, usually is. Anyway, those two are generally at the large events. See you all there! 
Yikes. That temperature forecast has gone up quite a bit since earlier in the week. Last time I looked we were looking at 89-92 degrees for highs over the weekend. Now both sources show it six to eight degrees higher. At least the winds are still forecast to be, for the site, nice and low.

Windfinder is my favorite and as of right now Friday, Saturday and Sunday are looking amazing for wind....as in under 10mph. However.....with TC weather that will change as we get closer to the flying days.

I'll be there Saturday. Rich, are you still launching the big Sledgehammer that day? I hope to see it fly!

Thats the plan, AT L2200G is the motor, it will also be flying one of Tinder Rocketry's TD-2 devices as a single bay dual deploy.

Motors loaded and ready with Mehhhh-Thalox EX propellant, ready to set some Tripoli group records this weekend at Sod Blaster VI
I'll try to stop by late afternoon Thursday to help with setup if needed if I can get on the road early enough. If not, see you all Friday morning.

Sweet! Any chance the Frenzy XL is going to fly? If so, hopefully on Saturday. I'd love to see it in action.

YES, the Frenzy xL3 will be in attendance flying a 75/5120 Mehhh-Thalox EX L969. Sims to 7650'. I might even get some Stickershock in the hotel tonight. I was thinking a Friday flight, but could hold to Sunday if you will be there @mcderek Saturday is out as it will be a NAR rules day / no EX.

Sounds like a great flight! Unfortunately I am only able to attend on Saturday. Such is life!

The car is packed, and I am just about ready to head east in a couple of hours..... I thought a 5.5" rocket took up a lot of room in my car, but man, a 7.5" one takes up even more room!!!!!
See everyone there!

Everything's organized into boxes to load into the car tomorrow morning. That organization should last ... about 12 minutes after starting to prep the first rocket.

On the field! Getting ready to start setup this afternoon! Weather for the weekend is hot with light and variable winds!
Anyone know where to get the best tacos in the Pasco area?

Usually from a Taco Truck, but none that I can think of right now, other places are restaurants there is a good one on Rd 68 just past McDonalds.
sorry if this is covered somewhere, but I couldn’t find it. What time do festivities begin in the morning? thank you.
Yes, the taco truck near Viera’s bakery, not to mention the bakery itself.
09:00 if you are asking about the range opening
It’s getting crowded. Supper sure smelled good with everyone frying onions!
