8th Annual Mile High Mayhem
Posted on Sunday, May 23 @ 20:35:47 MDT

 We have been given the green light from the US Forest Service for MileHighMayhem next weekend, May 28th,29th, 30th and 31st on the Pawnee National Grassland at NCR’s North Site. Friday and Saturday are for commercial motors and Sunday and Monday the range will be operated under Tripoli Research rules. On-site registration will be available Friday, May 22nd, Saturday May 23rd and Sunday May24th. Limited edition T-shirts have been printed, vendors have been contacted and thanks to several club volunteers, our equipment will be ready for another memorable launch. Our waiver will be a constant 20,000’ AGL, with anticipated “windows of opportunity” for higher altitudes shots. We anticipate having the range set up and ready by 9 AM on Friday, and we’ll operate until 6 PM. On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday the range and waiver will be open at 8 AM. Wristbands will be required for ALL flyers and ALL flyers will need to be registered. Sunday and Monday are TRA Research Launch Days and flyers must be current Tripoli members and certified L2 or higher to fly research loads. The extended weather forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with characteristically light winds and comfortable temperatures for Spring on the prairie and the possibility of afternoon thunder showers. In other words, it should be an awesome weekend for flying. Please remember that Range Safety is in everyone’s best interest. Enjoy Memorial Day Weekend responsibly.
VOL_NTEER – What is missing is U. If you have already volunteered to help with range operations, thank you. If you haven’t, it’s not too late to contact Ed Dawson, NCR Volunteer coordinator at volunteer@ncrocketry.org Lots of opportunities to help are still open.
The Pawnee National Grassland offers the ultimate in rustic, open space camping although for this event we will have Porta-Potties on site. Self sufficient camping is permitted on site. We are, however, limited to only one campfire in the established fire pit at the south end of the flight line. Firewood is nonexistent on the prairie so contributions are welcome. The nearest motels are in Wellington, CO, Cheyenne, WY, and Ft. Collins, CO.
Please treat our National Grassland with respect. As is typical with camping in most public areas, we are required to remove all of our trash. Be considerate and responsible. If you bring it, be prepared to leave with it. Please clean up your parking and prep area before you leave and take all of your stuff with you.
An abundance of raffle prizes have been collected. Raffle tickets can be purchased for $1 each at the registration table. Drawings will be held about every two to three hours each day and the winning numbers will be posted at the registration table. Prizes not claimed by 6 PM will be re-cycled for the next day drawings.
Hope to see you out on the range.
