Event Report – Mt Wallace (Q500 & Sports), May 2025

The VMPRA finally raced the Mt Wallace state field after several past cancellations. It was blowy, but we completed 5 rounds of Q500 with 7 competitors. It was also fabulous to have 2 home club members competing in the Sports race, both flying Scanners and doing quite well for their first time flying pylon.
