Seven days from right now you could be doing two things:
1 preflighting for another boring Hamburger run.
-or-
2 Walking out of your first pre-race briefing towards your Race plane, getting prepared to test your skills
And aircraft in your first air race.
Can you hear the crowds cheering...
Is that TAS, or IAS?
You'll probably be in the hunt with some of the planes... We'll figure out where to put you.
Welcome Aboard!
Glad that you will be racing with us.
Invite your friends to come race as well!
Thanks,
Chester
Go Go Gadget Google-FU!
Got it!
What a Cool Plane! Ok You might get first for having the most rare plane at the race.... only 78 built you just showing up and racing will win you fastest in class.
That thing is awesome!
Let's chat about your performance numbers and we'll put you in the...
What type of aircraft do you fly?
If you go to the SARL page www.sportairrace.org ( remember it's a volunteer organization... including the web guy) and go to "The Mission" link http://www.sportairrace.org/id1.html
It will list the various classes at the bottom.
I as a lowly race organizer will...
We broke through the Magical 30 racers today.
Still looking for more.
we need the following to help fill out some of the classes... in no particular order.
We need RVs... 4-6- 7-8s whatever you got bring 'em we've got guys running unopposed that will walk away with trophies and bragging rights...
You have to do fun stuff to have fun... the problem is some people quit doing fun stuff...
I think this is part of the reason that Air Racing is really taking off. (no pun intended)
This cross country stuff is really a great time, and isn't a "risky" behavior that invalidates your insurance, or...
Congratulations Joyce!
Pat Purcell and I are working on a race in Mesquite TX KHQZ on July 17th.
Would love to have you come out and race with us!

Nope... but I might be able to after the race.
You should come and look for yourself.
(also I only know what the guy tells me. If it's his plane, and he calls it Something I go with it.)
Of course I think it's a Cheyene III? I mis-typed before.
Race 422Ron...
Dave,
I heard of your victory in WA... You definitely have been bitten by the bug. The SARL Kool-aid is strong.
I appreciate yu speaking up. All of the people who read about the race and then can't decide whether to come or not, will hopefully realize that this isn't about hurting your plane...
If you go to the SARL webpage www.sportairrace.org and click around most all of the rules are there.
If you click calendar of events and the Sulphur Springs 130 race, and then Race details, it will give you most of the specifics about this particular course. The Rule book is the FAR AIM...
And.... We also encourage the use of Data Loggers. Its pretty obvious when someone messes up, Hmmmm, Somehow your bonanza went 45mph faster than all the rest.
The ground observers are there to keep everyone honest. The Data loggers protect the pilots from the crazies.
At the Wichita race...
