The Southern Utah Pylon Racing Association held it's fourth race of the 2009 season on Saturday, June 27.  This race was hosted by the Cedar City Radio Control Club and was held at the Three Peaks Modelport in Cedar City, Utah.  There were a total of 3 rounds completed in 3 classes in just over 3 hours.

The weather was perfect with temperatures in the high 80's and there was very little wind throughout the event.

The racing was very competitive and the heats went very well.  There were a couple of serious crashes with two planes being lost.  One Quickie plane lost the tail section at the end of a heat and there was one Sundowner that met Terra Firma at full speed during another heat.

There were a total of 10 registered pilots and 17 registered aircraft in the 3 classes, which made for some great competition from all who were involved.

We were fortunate enough to have a couple of special visitors to this race as well.  The Recreation Coordinator from the Bureau of Land Management was there at the beginning of the day and spent some time helping with the lap timing and also took a few turns judging the pylons.  A big thanks for her help.  The Associate Vice President of the AMA, Mr. Greg Clemensen, also stopped by toward the end of the day and we would like to thank him for his support and help.

We would like to once again thank all those who helped and participated in the event.  It was a great day and all who were there had a good time and made for a great day of racing.
