Yes, NCR should be able to accomodate a 16' rail, in either the Big Red or in the Extreme Pad.

The plan is to organize a line of members spaced about twenty-five feet apart and to walk together as a Search and Rescue operation in a sweep of the area, pivoting either around the center point at f...

Okay - the latest authorized release of information from TRA/NAR has been posted as a front page story. It's still good news in my book and I am not going to waste any energy thinking about the what ...
