A
covered shelter provided spectators with
some relief during the "Heatwave."
Early publicity
brought more than 3,000 spectators to
witness the Tulsa Glue Dobbers' Heatwave in
the Heartland in Tulsa, Oklahoma, July
28-29. This event is quickly becoming the
show of the South.
Mac Hodges attended from Georgia with his 26-foot-span,
Dan Stevens-built B-29/X-1, and he did some
flying that had even the 3-D section on the
edge of their seats. There were six
nationally acclaimed demo pilots at the
event.
The Civil Air Patrol helped park cars on the 12-acre
lot, which was completely filled. The RC car
track's parking lot down the street was also
filled, and the parking attendants still had
to pack the bar ditches for hundreds of
yards on either side of the gate.
A shelter was constructed this year for the spectators,
to keep them protected from the Tulsa sun.
It covered the bleachers. A 10-foot-wide
spectator walkway was roped off between the
trailers and the pit tents, and it was
filled with people throughout the event.
