TY Gentlemen and as soon as I get home today I will review the tracks and get DW's results, I will post my results and the new track tonight. Thanks for showing up guys it was a blast, I am surprised at the number of racers that found a way thru that turn with very little practice time. ~S~

Here is another new track to a few of you. It is the Dogfight map with the Hurricane MKIIa. This is a carburetor engine so be careful going negative G. The heats are as follows

:help2: Im not sure in which direction the course goes :idiot-0011:
Chimneys on the left or right?
Just a suggestion to eliminate this question in further courses.
In the past I have used the Red and Blue race poles 375-376 in objects list.
Red for Port and Blue for Starboard. No question on direction. Last race was fun.
This one looks like a blast as well. I can see many good places to crash :lol
Thanks to you all for including us.

You can probobly tell by the starting position markers on one side of the start/finish line. We usually line up facing it...I think...

_AH_z5o · April 19, 2014, 05:11:59 AM

Ok, is the red going to be on the left and blue on right indicating that your with the flow or agents it? :happy-112:

_AH_Lippy · April 19, 2014, 07:55:12 PM

Z and Frag with the exception of Fraggs tracks which are not going to use this season, those colored markers are only used to indicate something up ahead like a turn or out of line marker. THE ONLY way to judge the direction is on what side of the start/finish line the starter marker on the pavement is on. So we line up on those white tags on the ground, put or nose of the aircraft on one facing the start line, that is the direction of flight. Fraggs has spent the time to make it easy to judge direction, and our tracks are so old and far to many of them to change and make marker for direction. We are evaluating Fraggs tracks for further use and i will be posting them for all to run and give their opinion on them. He has some real interesting tracks and should be fun to run.

Man oh Man was there some real good races going on even though this was a bit tough for the first track. I can not over state the importance of engines idling UNTIL you see the three -GO--GO--GO-. There were some extremely close calls on the starts of these three races. When you see the letters then full power do not anticipate the start I will PENALIZE for anticipation. With that said here are the results.

Sorry for the delay in posting this track, I was working on it last night and wound up having some personal issues too deal with. :bomb-034: I will in the future post these tracks I am hoping on time. :CC I will post the results of this weeks race on Sat. Anyway the track is Flat Out and the aircraft is The P-51A 1942. This track has several cross overs and is fairly easy to fly so we can have a break from the first two tough tracks. There are two warnings the first is a hair pin turn the other are tanks that mark invisible trees so fly above the tanks. I hope that all enjoy this track, and all get across the finish line to give us some good racing. I dont think this a long track so 4 laps should be good. If anyone thinks this is too long and will put us too late in the evening please let me know and I can modify it accordingly. :happy-112:

I am seeing the tops of the bottom of valley's getting cut making you too high, disqualifying racers of their first place finish's.

Honorary Mention goes too GhostBear for his come back, Ghost you are definitely scarey good.

I apologize to DW for being overly critical on him, i gave his first place win back to him on the second heat. He barely cleared one tower and it was in awkward spot, and I did state that I would show some leniency due to the difficulty. If any of the points don't add up please don't mention it. :lol

_AH_DarkWolf · April 26, 2014, 04:29:38 AM

Wow, I thought the rule of thumb was 3 consecutive towers high.

DW

_AH_taldrg · April 26, 2014, 07:47:49 PM

~S~
WOW! Looks like someone missed their nape before the race.

_AH_DarkWolf · April 26, 2014, 08:01:11 PM

Taking your ball and going home is never a solution, Fraggmann.

We need to make sure going forward that everybody knows the rules and they are applied evenly to everyone. (I say that not only as a competitor but especially as a judge.) Then no one should have an issue with being penalized. It get's messy when you start getting into the grey area of lenicency where some rules don't have any and others do to differing degrees.
