Here is the link to the track for Race # 4:
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E&id=E03B9451BD4B6B4E!878

Race will be on Saturday, Oct. 8 at 5 pm pdst. Practice track will be open about an hour before the race for some online warm up laps.

Track: Roller Coaster
Plane: Bf109G-14
Laps: 2,3,4

Just like the name implies, a hilly and twisty track. Look for the course markers on both sides of the track where you go from a downward angle to an upward angle to avoid a DQ for flying too high at the bottom of a hill.

That was great 50,we were doing some good racing,I can't believe you caught me just before the finish line.

HA_50 · October 09, 2011, 06:03:08 PM

Thanks fellas, Well you can lead 400 laps of a race and if you dont lead at the finish it all doesnt matter.

_AH_gatlingun · October 09, 2011, 07:39:48 PM

That is true. Just a little too wide in the last left-hand turn.

This week's track is flat and fast.. should cut down on those pesky "Too High" DQ's.. hate those.

Flat and Fast.. couple of crossovers, and maybe some blacking out if you're not careful.. should he a hoot.

:unhappy-059: Official protest. I passed Gatling in heat 2 on the final lap on the uphill before the finish and crossed the line ahead of him. And clean your glasses I was pushed high in heat 3 by another plane. perhaps the 777 that was flying around.. recheck heat 2

_AH_gatlingun · October 11, 2011, 12:35:39 AM

I believe 50 did pass me just before the finish line in heat #2. I will abide by whatever the decision.

Please check your PM, 50.

There were no planes near you on this part of the track at the time in either heat.

Nice exhibition of track building and tight obstacle flying.

_AH_Archie · October 15, 2011, 05:38:29 PM

I liked the knife edge turns and the vertical part of the track.

_AH_z5o · October 16, 2011, 02:56:50 PM

Sry I missed lastnigts race, how'd it go?
