Another perspective... I shot poor quality video at 240 fps of the drag race 

http://youtu.be/3OxyZOSqxP8

You can see the motors lighting, in order from L to R they were: 2&3 tied, 1, 
7, 6, 8, 4, 5 (I think).

      Looks like the far left Nike Smoke was first off the pad:

      Incredibly close grouping off the pad.

      Thanks TCC for a great weekend.  I have video from eight cameras to edit 
through, so it might take a bit. 

      And if you launched from the away pad, I might have some launch photos 
for you.

      OK I have my kit built, all left to do is T/T and paint.
      Then she will be ready to kick some ass.
      Did a custom airfoil effect on the 1/4” thick ply. fins, it looks sweet. 
Fins are 7/16” thick at the root and ~5/16” at the tip. Then the airfoil tapers 
to the leading and trailing edge down to ~3/16”. Fins will be composite of 1/4” 
birch ply, 3/32” basswood, west, and 1.5 fiberglass.

              Hi All

                             Ok James woke up the Nike crowd and I have been 
getting e-mails and phone calls on what we are doing so here it is.

              Nike Drag race on any size Nike Smoke you want but it has to have 
a K motor in it or larger if you decide to fly a larger Nike.  Repeat- Has to 
be a Nike Smoke now the motor of choice was the K2045 I will have about 14 or 
15 of them and if you are in the drag race with a K2045 I will do the motor for 
$99.00 only the K2045 so if you have a Nike and want to fly another motor you 
can but I am not sure why you would want to get your assed kicked with 
something less. I also have  Nike’s in stock in all sizes 4”, 5.5”, 7.5” and 
10” in the Polecat brand and I have a few of the Madcow 4” glass Nikes which 
are basically the Performance Nike’s. I saw a post where Aaron wanted to fly 
the K1103X  well as long as it is in a Nike then fine but the problem Aaron is 
we did this motor as a demo last year and Steve Sawyer got whipped with that 
motor and I talked to Aerotech and they are still not California certified a 
year later, so Karl is going to let me know when it can go into California. So 
any questions?
