We added 1/2A Speed and Racing to our Rouge Park Contest this May. This was the first pass at a new lounge act. Simple rules:
Black Widow .049, 35-foot lines, any sport plane.
Speed is 12 laps, from a running start. Unlimited attempts, time permitting.
Racing was dependant on getting at least three successful qualifiers, which didn't happen this time. But we won't give up. We lost a little time due to some drizzle on our two-day contest, 1/2 A (correctly) took the hit on this weather issue.
First Place - Paul Smith, Golden Hawk, 62.8 MPH.
Second Place - John Brzys, Streaker, 60.2 MPH.
