It is premature Robert NAR (Trip Barber) is not for mass launches and has or
is  or did submit a new ruling to the NFPA basically saying that ten and
over or over ten rockets launched simitaneously should be at a safe distance
of 1.5 times the expected altitude so if we had 11 Nike's and they all were
expected to do about 7,000ft then the safe distance required to launch them
would be 10,500 ft. It is way too early to start worrying but the thought is
that if it gets adopted by the NFPA well then Tripoli would probably adopt
it too because a lot of people don't really care or do mass launches but the
few that do would be screwed like us and a few other clubs. Take Plaster
Blaster they always do a fun launch for the kids and give out T-shirts and
candy by doing a 100 Estes quirks or alpha's or some small rocket that the
kids can go run and retrieve and get paid in Candy or prizes well if they
were going to go 1,000ft the the safe distance would have to be launched at
1,500ft and then no one can even see them at that distance. In general Trip
just doesn't like, agree or want mass launching.

I must be out of the loop, why the last time?

I'm in for something, any requirements?

Guys,

 

 

Since this may be the last year we're ever able to do mass drag race again.
Who's in?
I'll be using PR Nike Smoke 4" with K2045 ...

 

Here's an updated image:

 

The latin on the bottom "Novissimo tempore volavit milspec" translated
literally means 

"the last time we flew milspec"
