2015 Northwest Speed Bash

Sept. 26-27, Bill Riegel Model Airpark, Salem, Ore.

By Mike Hazel, contest director

We had a moderate turnout of speedsters with a couple of no-shows that kept it from being well-attended. Also attending but not entering were Loren Howard and Will Naemura.  The wind was quite variable both days but was less of a challenge than it looked.  The temperature barely managed to get close to 70 each day.
