Hello Everyone, 

I am pretty happy with the way the birds have been doing the past 3 races. This is a tough course with all the mountains and mountain passes that they have to navigate. I have been told that some checks for Entry fees were sent 2 weeks ago and I still have not received them.  Here is what I have as of now, which is what we will go with.  If any other Entry fees come in before the 300 mile race I will adjust. 

I have 490 birds paid for

Leaves for total payout of $109,250 -$1000 for the 200 mile 1st bird to trap

%50 for 350 mile Race =$54,625

Hello Everyone, 

Congrats to David Miller for having the 1st bird to trap on the 235 mile race.  Looking at the weather we are going to have rain and wind for a couple days. Plan is to train Wednesday and have the 300 mile race on Friday if the weather holds.  Final race will be 10 days after the 300 mile race.  I will have all the checks cleared today and have a payout posted tonight.  
Thank you and Good luck. 

Birds up at 7:30am. Clear skies, Birds will have a slight headwind all the way home.  Should make for a good tough race today.  
Congrats to the winners of the 1st two races, Transilvania Loft for the 1st bird on the 150 mile race winning 6 Free perch fees for next years race and Partridge Family loft for having the 1st bird to trap on the 2nd race winning $1000.  Best of luck to Everyone today. 

Birds up at 7:30am, slight headwind of 5 mph. Clear skies. Birds should have a headwind for about half the course then variable winds after that.  Good Luck Everyone!!

Birds released at 7:45am, cloudy skies with a 5 mph headwind. Birds will have a slight headwind for 50 miles then its calling for the winds to shift and be a slight tail wind. Best of luck to everyone!!

We will have the first race tomorrow. I am still collecting entry fees, as soon as I get them I will post the payout. If you still need to pay Entry fees. PayPal Dcarter418@msn.com  Please get them in asap. Thank you and good Luck to Everyon!!

Well you got to love Spring weather.  We had a really good training today from 56 miles and tomorrow looks like we are going to get storm again for a couple days.  We will have the 1st race either Saturday or Sunday.  We will train again on Thursday or Friday and see what is the best day after that.  Thanks 

We have a storm coming in the next 2-3 days.  I will train as soon as I can when I get a break in the weather. ENTRY FEES ARE DUE NOW.  We will have the 1st race next week.  Thank you

Entry fees are now due for all your birds that are here.  No cherry picking.  100 mile activation training went pretty good today.  1st Race will be in about a week.  We are getting another storm Friday-Sunday.  I will train a couple times before the next race.  
Thank you

Very tough 70 mile training.  Birds dough an unexpected headwind and I don't think the fog and Haze was much help either.  Most of the birds cane in small group. They were really split up, which in the long run it will be good for them.  One more 70 mile trainer and then the 100 mile Activation Race.  Best of Luck to all!!
