LDRS (Event)

The Tripoli Rocketry Association's LDRS high-power rocket launch is held each year. LDRS attracts rocketry enthusiasts from the US and abroad.

First held in 1982 near Medina, Ohio, the LDRS label stands for "Large and Dangerous Rocket Ships," a tongue-in-cheek reference to those who, in those early days of high-power rocketry, thought that the larger rockets and more-powerful motors were dangerous.
