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----- Original Message -----From: Richard DierkingSent: Monday, December 05, 2011 9:42 AMSubject: [roc-chat] Re: 5/16" Rail at Dec Launch?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?
