Season 4, Round 2

I, JVnotch, will be your Watchman & will be hosting this event on 
the band new Racing terrain, Race10 . 
Our base  for Sunday, March 13 th will be P49 on Rooks side.
(If you have not downloaded already,I should be able to have the 
SEA 1 loaded by early Sunday morning)

The plane will be the RV-8 with fuel set to .5 .
(type  '  .plane 89  '  in the hangar, then goto tower, 
then back to hangar & it should be there!)
 
Racing Radio Frequency shall be 217
4:55pm EST- an announcement over all arena's for practice of SASFRAS
5:00pm EST- Parade laps lead by your Watchman begin
6:45pm EST- Racers confident enough to try, will be bracketed   
7:00pm EST- Starting time

 

_________________________________________________

Competitors will be randomly paired up & bracketed before the race begins by Watchman.
 
Each pair will be racing against each other and the winner of that bracket will be determined by the 
quickest time. The winner of each bracket will advance to the next bracket.
 
The event time keeper(the Watchman) will call each racer onto the course by saying "Racer (name), you are 
cleared to enter the SASFRAS Course,Good Luck!", at which time the racer will fly to the starting gate.
 
Time will start when the racer has passed through the starting gate. Also the racer must turn smoke on & 
announce "Smoke on" as they are entering the course. Failure to do either of these will result in a time
penalty for each violation.
 
The racer will navigate the course as quickly and correctly to have their time ended at the Finish gate.
Smoke being turned off, followed by the announcement of "smoke off" will symbolize the successfull 
completion of the course at the finnish gate.
 
Each racer's time will be computed immediately after the completed run and announced by the 
Watchman.
