Thanks to Wildman Kentucky, we'll have a vendor on site at our next launch. In addition Darryl will be hosting a drag race -- Performance Rocketry G3s on Gorilla Motor Works green K motor (don't have the specs handy).
These little beasties are gonna scream off the pad, so it should be quite interesting -- I'm betting a mile or so, each, in altitude. Let's hope the weather cooperates!

Jim makes some great motors!
There's a couple of K555GT videos from August on the
NEFAR site-

Yep, Jim does indeed make some nice motors!
Al Bychek flew a few at LDRS last year, and was kind enough to share one with a buddy and I.
The motor we're using for the drag race is the J465 Green Tornado.
