Ssn 4 Rnd 4 Bowties For Momma Marathon

 

S A S F R A S

Season 4, Round 4

I, JVnotch, will be your Watchman & will be hosting this event on 
the new Racing terrain, Race10 . 
Our base  for Sunday, May 8th will be V41 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 208
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.

Bowties for Momma Marathon

 
1.   All pilots will take off from A43 .
Once the signal to lift off is given, Racer have two options.  1) They may orbit in an "UP NEXT" 
area SW of V41 or,       2) They may practice at V42(a duplicate course)
 
Warning:  If you crash while on the practice course, during the round, I will be leaving
you in the tower until you are up next in the rotation
 
Note: Anyone saying the phrase
"Hey Maw, hold my beer and watch this" or
waving at their mothers in the stands,
and crashes
will be severely laughed at !!!
 
2.  The starting gate will be the pair of green pylons in the center of the Vehicle Base & is where
our pilot must turn smoke on & announce "Smoke on". This will start the clock running.
 
3.   Once thru the starting gate, our Racer shall execute an slight left turn to line up 
on the first triple pylons consisting of 2 blue markers & 1 yellow. The object of the
triple pylons is to perform a turn around the yellow pylon without hitting the blue
ones. Entering with the yellow pylon on the right, the pilot executes a right turn
around the yellow pylon
 
4.   Proceed to the red pylons & perform a knife-edge maneuver (either way is fine) .
 
5.  At the 2nd triple pylons do a right turn to line up with the green pylon gate.
 
6.  After going through the green gate, turn slightly left to execute a right turn at the 
3rd triple pylons gate.
 
7.   Once out of the 3rd triple pylons gate, head to the 2nd set of red pylon gate
and perform a knife-edge. Again either way is fine.
 
8.    Our racer has one more right hand turn to make at the 4th triple pylons gate
to head back to the green pylon gate.
 
9.   Now this is where our Mother-Lovin pilot ties off the bow with a left hand circle 
around th left green pylon. 
 
10.  Knowing that all MOMS love a double-bowtie, our Pilot will do the course 
in reverse order, with all left turns at the triple pylons.
 
11.   When the Racer exits the green pylons he started at, this will be where
our pilot will announce "Smoke Off" and turns off smoke.
 
12.   At courses end, all penalties will be assessed and our racer will be told  their
time & their Momma will be sooooo proud !!!
 
 
 
Notes:
The 'Watchman'  has final say over the time of each racer. Lag will not be considered in the final 
assessment of overall time announcements, so don't send Mommy up to the 
Watchman's tower to thrash him. :)
 
A knife-edge manuever is accomplish by flying with the wings perpindicular to the ground while in forward 
motion. As a reference, level flight is when the wings are parralel to the ground in forward motion.
 
 
 
Penalties:
 
2 seconds for not turning smoke on
2 seconds for not announcing "Smoke on"
2 seconds for missing an obstacle
2 seconds for breaking altitude restrictions
2 seconds for high-sticking
2 seconds for not turning smoke off
2 seconds for not announcing "Smoke off"
 
Disqualification:
 
Crashing once will be at the mercy of your fellow racers to decide if you can proceed 
 
Crashing twice will disqualify a racer for that heat.
 
5 minutes or more on the course will disqualify a racer for that heat.
 
Entering course without knowledge or permission of the watchman will disqualify the racer for the duration of 
the race
