Guys, guys, guys---I'm in way over my head here!
1. I am not organizing the event(s) nor am I the CD of record;
2. I did not make, nor can I find a written down copy of the log rules;
3. I have not entered the event(s), nor do I have a plane that currently seems like it even might qualify for logs or porkers.
I did pick up a Porker Perky kit a few years back, and after a look inside, common sense told me to put it back in the closet with the other leftover kits that did not look like any fun to build. So it is stacked along side a Sterling P-38 with the splintered luan fuselage doublers, a no-name brand kit for the 38 Special (the one with "special asymmetric ribs" that might have come from freehand bandsaw work--or may have been cut using the In-Sink-erator the morning after you tipped a few too many. Not sure which. And some other choice stuff. Now I don't want to anthropomorphise here, but the Porky kit is not happy about this situation at all. It is continually blowing out the corners of the cardboard box it is in, and spewing Porkywood around in the vain hope that it will be built before the wood becomes (more) petrified. It is pretty close now, considering the blocks are 20 pounders....
Last year, the T4Ts contest schedule said Perky on it. I can't find a copy for this year, so I don't have a definitive answer. I am not sure who the CD is, for you to contact. It might be Barracuda Howie. You can corner him on the Delphi Speed Forum.
Furthermore and so forth, the log event started by requiring the plane be one of the Walt Musciano designs (Musi-Cali-Anos) and powered by a Cox reedy. Now you all know what happens when the stunt guys start flying a speed or racing event: they start changing all the rules to "improve things" allowing them to go faster and faster until it is no longer flyable by the speed and racing guys--so only the stunt guys can win. They corrupt all of the engine rules until the only planes that can win use engines that have been out of production for 30 years, and only stunt guys have a private collection of them and endless parts. The rest of us have to settle for Cubs (authentic for Musi-Cali-Anos), or God help us, Winmacs--except these are illegal. So we get by with Cox product motors that we have to pay a rework specialist to bore oversize, hone and polish, and drill out the venturi to .098, and recut the ports, put in a good reed (Teflon pillow type so it will float at high rpm), shave the piston, and on and on. Only stunt guys have that kind of money. Apparently, the event rules try to make up for this by providing lines and fuel for free.
After eavesdropping on some of the guys at a previous contest, apparently the Golden Eagle is the hot ticket for this event. There are a lot of technical reasons for that, but it was kind of over a racing guy's head, so I can't explain it. I think part of it was that the stunt guys got plans for each of the Musi-Cali-Anos and compared the wingspan until they found one with only an 18" wing. That makes it faster. Something like that. Like they told me--it's technical.
So if they do have the event, and I was going to "roll a log," I'd definitely pick the Golden Eagle since it is the only one that can win. And I'd bring a Porky too, in case they allow piped 40's so I'd have enough power to get my 20 lb balsa off the ground. I think I could fit a Nelson into it ok if I change the mounts a little.
But here's the thing: they may not be running Porkys; it may be Torquettes. Because on those, you can use a Cox lefthand crank TeeDee and eliminate torque rolls from the awesome and overwhelming power of these Atwood beasts. But again, them stunt guys have screwed us all--There were only 27 lefthand TeeDee cranks ever made. Joe broke one on his Torquette because of the power it was making and the remaining 26 aren't all accounted for. But I can't think of any speed and racing guys that got 'em. So you tell me.
With a little luck, Larry will provide some clear answers to your questions and tell us what kind of time it is going to take to win.

PS--I apologize for the detailed explanation above, but felt like you deserved my best attempt at an answer. (Or else I might get whacked if I answered the doorbell tomorrow morning?) And, I will admit I am trying to recover a bit from the flying today. Instead of racing sensible stuff like Rats, and Mice, and Goodyears, I somehow ended up flying the stunt plane I brought to the field in the Fox Speed event. Now, I will tell you that I almost accidentally won that with the engine set at the 4-2 break, except that extreme shame and embarrassment made me back the needle out a little bit more. I mean just imagine, a 14 lap proto event using a prehistoric engine that only Joe Bellcrank could love? In fact, it was almost as "spritely" as my carrier low speed from the contest last weekend, but without even using a throttle. Brilliant!
