An Evening with Bill Brennand
Years ago when my Sonerai was based in Oshkosh, I met Bill when he drove past my hanger and stopped to see the little airplane. Over the years Bill would stop by to say chat and see what I was working on. On one such visit, Bill handed me a CD that contained over 300 pictures taken by him or given to him by Steve Wittman, many of them unpublished. Not long after, he dropped by again and handed me a DVD of race footage that he had shot from the same era.
This past year I asked Bill if he would come to the Northwoods race and share those pictures, videos and experiences with us and he happily agreed. Its possibly a once in a lifetime chance to hear and see what it was like to be involved in the old days of air racing from someone that lived it.
A few years ago, Jim Cunningham wrote a book called Bill Brennand: Air Racing and Other Aerial Adventures. Bill is going to bring copies of the book and autograph them. The books will be $25 for a soft cover and $30 for the hardcover version.
Below is a small sample of the pictures. Please join us if can!

2013 NORTHWOODS PRIMARY COURSE BRIEFING
Just a quick update,
As previously mentioned, there is a PRIMARY and a BACKUP course for the Northwoods 100 this year.
Click below for a link to the preliminary briefing for the PRIMARY course:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/835700/2013%20NORTHWOODS%20100%20PRIMARY%20COURSE.pdf
I will post the preliminary briefing for the BACKUP course soon. For what it is worth, the backup is the same as last year's course and the briefing will look much the same.
Also, I had failed to mention the race entry fee in the previous post. The race entry fee of $30 includes the Friday night cookout and the post race lunch, an awesome T-shirt and a certificate for all of the racers. I will also update the previous post.
I will post the graphic for the shirt soon!
Please let me know if you have any questions!
