    I have three 6-feet long XLR controller extension cords I will drop off at the HQ on Memorial Monday 5/25.
    These are a little over-kill with the existing 3 foot cords on most of our controllers, but this gives lots of flexibility in location, including being able to keep your controller in hand while self-marshalling during practice or a race with only two marshalls.
    -or- being at the Race-control (track call button) position in a very very small race (3 people).

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
