I hope that you can take the npw sticker off you kite Jon. To race you need to be able to fly a nasa wing. Not sure if there is enough time for you to learn a new skill. You know not everyone can fly nasa wings.

Sorry, guys,
My money is on Glenn.
He is virtually unstoppable.
Although it is rumored that he will be using a much heavier buggy this year, so I guess that leaves the result in the "air".
Even with that extra weight his skill should win-out.
but, then again he might be a bit rusty.
See ya on the Playa.....

Ok Susan I just added the nasa wing sticker beside the npw sticker on my kite so I must be an official slag crapper now. I did run my buggy into the back of a truck repeatedly to flatten the profile of the buggy and I will race backwards in the npw/nasa wing races. Ok Kroc it is your turn.

hey guys
ok first, thanks jason it a sure thing putting your money on me. second, aj your right. i haven`t been in a buggy since
last nabx. but buggying is like riding a bike. it will come right back to me.
i got into two new hobbies this year. rc nitro cars and a 1930 2dr chevy all original. so buggying has taken a back seat.
third, hey jon. the day i see you flying a npw is the day i hang my buggy up.

You do not need to run it into a truck repeatedly, just try it at a higher speed once will do. I am still waiting for Libre to send me my R&D fee for doing this c/g testing for them. Stop giving away my tricks of the trade on racing in reverse, you get a better upwind advantge by doing this.Here is a pic of me doing some testing in Jellis's buggy a few yrs ago................aj

I have panels cut from some rip-stop nylon for a 3mē NPW 9b and line for bridals and stitching. Anyone interested in sewing it up for me? The machine I have access to don't seem to have the horsepower, or I'm using the wrong needle for this material.
:puzzled:

Interested and experienced rag flapper builders, send me a U2U and we can discuss compensation rates, etc.

Hey Jon, Well, I'll be there, Ricardo's comming down as well, I'm sure we can get enough people together to set something up.

Possibly GPS on someone running the ragflappers race and a GPS unit on your bug :lol:

I know I probably won't be first, but maybe, just maybe I won't be last.
