[roc-chat] Re: 5/16" Rail at Dec Launch?

I'm sure what I saw was a scan of a print.  Perhaps from a post by Rick O.  
Maybe you could just bring an album of your photos?  I'm sure others would 
enjoy seeing them to. Richard Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2011 12:46:01 -0800

I'll have to look through my collection of prints and scan some of those.  I go 
back to the first Rocstock in June of '95.

Thanks Kurt; yes, there's some I haven't seen before, including a photo of the 
ROC flag.  I saw a photo a couple years ago with Rick O'neil and a couple other 
people holding rockets and looking bad-a.  Haven't seen that photo again and I 
was wondering where it was posted.
Anyway, the old group shots are cool.  We should get more group shots at 
ROCstocks.

Thank you Ron!  and BTW, I enjoy learning about ROC history.  I'm going OT 
here, but I think there's photos somewhere of the first ROC launches and 
ROCstocks.  Do you have some of these or know who does?

Richard,
 
It is for sure minimum 12 ft. long 
perhaps longer. If you need longer my pad that I carry with me is Uber Pad #1 
and it has a 14ft. 5/16in rail. The ROC Uber Pad is actually designated GB Uber 
Pad #2 meaning: Gate's Brothers Uber Pad #2. It was originally built by me for 
the Gate's Brothers for our first LDRS that ROC hosted back in 2001? They then 
donated it to the club which was very smart on their part because they then 
didn't have to haul it out to monthly launch's. I personally kept the rail in 
possession because the club at that time didn't have a trailer large enough to 
transport it and I would bring it out to the launch's. It became the clubs when 
they purchased the trailer that they have now and I built the storage for it 
and 
the other equipment.
 
Enough History,
 
Ron McGough

  Allen thought ROC had a 12' long 5/16" rail.  I 
  just want to assure that there will be a long enough rail.  Is it 
  6' or 12" or something in between?
