2018 Brodak Speed Results.
« on: June 18, 2018, 02:50:06 PM »
Fox 35 Stunt Speed :  All entries went 104 or 103 MPH.  Al Ferraro won at 104.2.  TC Schaefer, Bob Whitney and Jim Vigani were all in the 103's.

With the exception of one sport entry, all six serious Perky entries went from 106 to 116 MPH.  Bob Whitney won with a Brodak record and season-leading 116.85.  TC Schaefer 115.1 and Al Ferraro 111.8.

The NEW Sportsman Stunt Speed event went off well.  This event requires ROG takeoff, and 7 laps in each direction, followed by the landing on the landing gear.  All five scores ranged from 73.0 to 82.70.  The winner was Rick Osborn, flying a Veco-powered Circus King at 82.70.  Second was Clyde Richie with Fox Clown.  Third "the house" Paul Smith with a Greenhead Medium Clown.

The good news is that Mr. Brodak is planning for another Fly In in 2019.  So I'm already thinking of my action plan for next year.

Perky (7 entries) will continue unchanged.

Sportsman Speed will be renamed Two Way Speed and be expanded to include Sportsman (existing) and Expert (new).  The expert class will allow expert people and modified engines.

I am considering dropping Fox 35 Speed (4 entries).  It seems like the question (how fast can a fully modified Fox 35 Stunt go?) has been answered.  In lieu of dropping the event I might downgrade it to a single-award record trial or combine it with another event.

I waiting for feedback from bona fide Brodak customers.
