Season 5, Round 1

I, JVnotch, will be your Watchman & will be hosting this event on 
the new Racing terrain, Race10 . 
Our base  for Sunday, July 10th will be P36 on Rooks side.
Launch will be from A39 with a special launch at 'GO TIME' ! 

(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.

1.   All pilots will take off from A39

2.  The starting gate will be the pair of green pylons W side of the port(P36) & 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 a left 180 degrees 
through the blue pylon gate.
4.   Proceed to the red pylons & perform a knife-edge maneuver (either way is fine) .
 
5.  Head to the yellow goal post and go through the center. Execute a Half-Cuban
Eight. Fly back through the yellow goal post center.
 
6.  After going through the yellow goal post, procede to fly between & below the smoke-
stacks of the pair of Aircraft Carriers. 
 
7.   Once past the CV's, next gate  will be the blue pylons on the dock.
 
8.    Our racer is now going to navigate to & chicane through the three yellow
pylons on the E side. The chicane will start with a right turn, then a left, 
then another right to exit to the blue Quad gate on the E.
 
9.   Now that the pilot has made it this far, all he has to do is execute a left 
half cloverleaf to reverse back through the course.
The half cloverleaf will begin by flying from NW to SE through the
blue Quad gate, making a left 270 degree turn. Next fly NE to SW
through the Quad again, once more making a left 270 degree turn
to fly back through the middle of our Quad, going SE to NW.

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.
