NOTE! This site is no longer current. In the tradition of the old internet, old sites just seem to hang around for nostalgia sake. The orginal TRA Prefecture #5 was founded by Joy and Brian Tripp (Prefect), Ray Dunakin, and Mike Tripp (FAA Waiver Holder) and was mentored by California Class 2 Licensed Pyrotechnicians. The club was taken over by a group of DART members around the turn of the century. Please visit their new web page about their new launch location and events at Tripoli-San Diego
