A Pylon Race was held at Dinneen Field on Saturday, August 7 2010.  Set up began at 8:00 am and the races started at 9:00 am. Races were held for both trainer type and racer type planes.

As with previous years, next year if you don't want to fly, at least come and lend a hand with the races - it's fun and educational, really!  There will be a drawing for some nice prizes, and both pilots and helpers will be eligible to receive raffle tickets.  If you have any questions about this event, contact Lou Matustik at 614-488-7834 or at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
