On Tuesday,December 13th, the PVMAC held its December club meeting at the Chino Community Center, and we had a great turn out, matching last years turn out of 75 PVMAC members, showing up to eat pizza and cast their vote for the 2012 board member. With a record mebership year having 504 members in 2011, the 75 members in attendance Tuesday night was more than the requred 10% quarum. Your PVMAC 2012 board members are Roy Barringer, Tom Marcure, Larry Marsh, Charlie Mitchell, Steve Parola, Chuck Pozanac, Paul Smith, Jim Stout and Phil Goodwine.
In addition to electing the board members, we heard several great presentations by members who were trying to get a last minute presentation in for the year end drawing. Every year, at the last meeting, The PVMAC holds a yearly drawing for a $350 and a $250 Visa gift card. For each presentation that you make during the year, you receive 1 ticket into the drawing. Greg Stockdale had the record this year with 7 presentations thus 7 tickets into the drawing; unfortunately he did not win. Roy Barringer proved you only need one ticket to win, and took home the $350 prize. 2012 promises to be another great year, and the newly elected board members wasted no time, getting right to work on making the final preperations for the first event of 2012, the Prado Booth at the AMA Expo on January 6th-8th.
Its getting to be that time of year again! No, I'm not talking about stuffing your self with turkey just hours before you hit the streets in search of a $200 computer that will be outdataed before christmas. I'm talking about Hobby Club USA's famous parking lot clearance sale! Many of you Know 
On October 29th, the PVMAC will have the inaugural "PVMAC Fall Classic Race for EF-1 and Parkzone Warbirds". This a 1 day even only at the Chino Prado Field. There will be 2 classes of racing, the Parkzone warbird class and the more serious Electric Formula Class (EF-1). Cost of racing is only $10 for the day and YOU MUST BRING A HARDHAT! You will also need a caller with their own hardhat. A caller is the person who stands by the pilot and tells him when to turn as well as Launches hand launched planes) Registration opens at 7:30am and racing starts at 9:00am
Big Jolt has been over for almost 2 weeks now, and were just getting around to assembling all the material. The event was a BIG Success dispite the 108 degree heat. We had almost 70 Registered pilots, this year, with many coming from as far away as Arizona. This year we added a night flying competition, which we had many competitors, as well as spectators turn out for the dazzling night time flying light show. We also had the speed run, though this year was not as fast as last year due to the heat and wind, but it was sill very fast , with top speeds approaching 190Mph. 
Dr. Ken Wagner is a PVMAC Member, and an avid RC pilot and modeler, and has the unique distinction of being proud owner of Lady Alice, a real P-51 Mustang. Dr. Wagner has been very generous to the PVMAC, often donating ride alongs for raffle or auction, which benefit our club tremendously. And if you have ever been to any of our hanger dinners held during our events, you've probably had a chance to sit in the cockpit of this immaculate piece of history. And seeing this museum piece up close, you can't help but feel your in the presence of a true thoroughbred, whose caretaker has treated her as such, with passion, love and devotion. Every aspect of the plane is impeccable, and no details were spared. It reminds me of a glossy concept show car on the podium at the L.A. auto show, except it flies, and Dr. Wagner is at the controls almost every weekend.
