VIPERFEST!
So it seems CATO now
has something to be famous for....The
Viperfest! For those of you who are still
uneducated, the Viperfest is a periodic drag
race of Loc-Precision Viper IV cluster
birds. The basic rules are four D12
black powder motors and we determine the
winner by arguing over who was first off the
pad. However there are several other
criteria which are all about as scientific
and repeatable as picking a winning lottery
number.
There are no prizes,
just bragging rights.
Honorable Mentions
Include::
- Fewest number of
motors lit
- Last place
- Closest to the
pad
- Best example of a
tangled recovery system
- Snake in a tree
- McConnell Flaming
Rocket on a Stick Trophy
