      Very cool!
      Was it Fence Sense that found a piece out there a while ago? Fence?
      I have the patches and pins from '78 on (I started going in '76 but didn't buy anything like that) Also a bunch of odd stuff but nothing consistent (Parts, passes, programs, posters, on and on).
      My wife and son have been suggesting I put together frames for them. I keep telling her it will take up a TON of wallspace. My home office is already full of books and my paintings so unless I can steal another room it ain't happening!
      Can we see?

        Yup, it was me. It’s currently on display in my backyard. Found it while researching the whole ‘64-‘65 Sky Ranch site/course change thread over on the WAP site. Sure wish we could somehow transfer that thread from wherever it is now over to here. I felt it was at least kind of important to NCAR history even if I was the only one who seemed to realize the courses were completely different from ‘64-‘65. I solved a mystery nobody knew existed.

        What are you looking for, Jack?

          I recently watched a PBS show called "Pylon Chasers". During the history segment it showed a couple of short (very short) clips of before and after of the original site.
          All of us with interest know where it is but you are the only one I know that has gone out there and poked around. I have visited several crash sites of racers around here and have bits and pieces. One day I need to root around out there.

              How small?

              I believe that the Marston Mat was only in place for ‘65. ‘64 was dirt.

                      It's cool how well the desert preserves things! That piece of psp would be dust decades ago up here! Particularly here at the coast... I've seen stainless rust here.. (not kidding, unless it's really good SS, it don't last in salt air!)

                        That would be great.

                        Let me know how much I owe you.

                        are you in need of any of the yearly patches or pins.

                          My first year camping at west Lemmon valley gate 1977 there was a orange plastic sun shade that was dumped there.
                          I used it as a mat in front of my PU bed to keep the brown talcum out.
                          The last real year 2019 I hopped the A-holes barbwire fence early in the week and walked south along the fence line and found that plastic sun shade just as intact as in 77, things don't rot in the high desert

                            LOL, I love playing with text crap.. I learned it a long while ago while moderating an aviation forum back in ... oh crap.. somewhere in the last century!!

                            It's truly amazing here at the coast just how fast things "rust"!

                            I hate leaving my truck out in the fog, it's THICK with salt!

                            Anyway.. back on topic..

                              Back on topic, I haven’t forgotten about you Jack. Things have been a bit hectic around here. Just as things have started to realign, my water heater took a crap last night.

                              So far as stuff I’m missing? Basically all of it. I think I have 1 patch and 1 pin. I do have quite a few programs and posters but thats really it besides my piece of runway and a mountain of Critical Mass parts.
