LUCERNE, California USA -- Tripoli Amarillo # 92, POTROCS INC, (Panhandle Of Texas ROCketry Society) proposal to host the 2002 Tripoli National launch has been accepted by the Board of Directors. Bruce Kelly informed Pat Gordzelik, Prefect/President of Potrocs, of the Boards decision on Monday, July 23.

Gordzelik stated that the launch will be held July 11,12,13, and 14 commercial motor, with a following "Mini Balls" experimental motor launch to be conducted on July 15 and 16.

He also commented that "no way, no how, would Potrocs have bid for LDRS 21 without significant assistance from other surrounding clubs, but with several Texas Prefectures and NAR Sections, Tripoli Oklahoma, and the Kloudbusters weighing in with promised help for the event, 'Temporary Insanity' gripped me," and the results shall we say is history.

For the first time ever LDRS will be held in Texas. Potrocs' flying field boasts 5.5 square miles of open pasture and range land, and a whopping 21,500' AGL waiver. Site altitude is 3,452' MSL.
