World Series
for
SEASON 6

I, JVnotch, will be your Watchmen & will be hosting this event on 
the Racing terrain, Race10 . 
Our base  for Sunday, May 13th will be A38 on Rooks side. 

!
(If you have not downloaded already,I should be able to have the 
SEA 1 loaded by early Sunday morning)

The plane will be the RV-8 with fuel set to .5 .
(type  '  .plane 89  '  in the hangar, then goto tower, 
then back to hangar & it should be there!)
 
Racing Radio Frequency shall be 213
4:55pm EST- an announcement over all arena's for practice of SASFRAS
5:00pm EST- Parade laps lead by your Watchman begin
6:45pm EST- Racers confident enough to try, will be bracketed   
7:00pm EST- Starting time

 

_________________________________________________

Competitors will be randomly paired up & bracketed before the race begins by Watchman.
 
Each pair will be racing against each other and the winner of that bracket will be determined by the 
quickest time. These racers will be running the standard race course 
with a twist. Each pilot will run through the course twice. When called onto the track, each racer will run the course 
once then after the opposing barcketed pilot has done their 1st lap, a second lap will be run for each. The purpose of the these two
 laps is to determine a "best of" time. The 'Best' time will move the racer to the next bracket. 
 
The event time keeper(the Watchman) will call each racer onto the course by saying "Racer (name), you are 
cleared to enter the SASFRAS Course,Good Luck!", at which time the racer will fly to the starting gate.
 
Time will start when the racer has passed through the starting gate. Also the racer must turn smoke on & 
announce "Smoke on" as they are entering the course. Failure to do either of these will result in a time
penalty for each violation.
 
The racer will navigate the course as quickly and correctly to have their time ended at the Finish gate.
Smoke being turned off, followed by the announcement of "smoke off" will symbolize the successfull 
completion of the course at the finnish gate.
 
Each racer's time will be computed immediately after the completed run and announced by the 
Watchman.

The Standard Track Grand Prix
 
1.   All pilots will take off from A38.
Once the signal to lift off is given, Racer have two options.  1) They may orbit in an "UP NEXT" 
area SW of A38 or,       2) They may practice at A39(a duplicate course)
 
Warning:  If you crash while on the practice course, during the round, I will be leaving
you in the tower until you are up next in the rotation
 
2.  The starting gate will be the pair of green pylons at the SW corner & is where our pilot 
must turn smoke on & announce "Smoke on". This will start the clock running.
 
3.   Once thru the starting gate, our Racer shall veer left of the 1st triple red pylon, turning 
right around 1st red triple, then left around 2nd, and back right around the 3rd red
pylon to traverse the chicane
 
4.   After the Chicane is accomplished, the next gate will be the yellow pylons at the offset 
hangars.
 
5.  A gradual left turn will line the pilot up with the next set of yellow pylons located on a
concrete slab. The racer must perform a knife-edge maneuver at this gate! 
 
6.  The next obstacle will be the blue quad located on the large hangar pad. Here our
pilot will fly through the quad blue pylons from SE to NW, turn 270° to the right
passing back through the quad blue pylons from NE to SW.
 
7.   Heading to the gate comprised of 2 yellow pylons near the vehicle hangar, our racer
needs to go through and execute a sweeping right  180° turn around the red pylon
located at the vehicle hangar to pass back through the yellow pylon gate
8.   Our racer will need to locate & navigate to the yellow goal post, fly through the 
middle, perform a half cuban eight, & pass back through the middle of the 
yellow goal post

9.   After exiting the yellow goal post, our pilot simply must run the course in
reverse order to finish.
 
10.   Proceed through the Green pylons to finish. This is  where
our pilot will announce "Smoke Off" and turn off smoke.
 
11.   At courses end, all penalties will be assessed and our racer will be told  their
time. 
 
 
 
Notes:
The 'Watchman'  has final say over the time of each racer. Lag will not be considered in the final 
assessment of overall time announcements
 
A knife-edge manuever is accomplish by flying with the wings perpindicular to the ground while in forward 
motion. As a reference, level flight is when the wings are parralel to the ground in forward motion.
 
 
 
Penalties:
 
2 seconds for not turning smoke on
2 seconds for not announcing "Smoke on"
2 seconds for missing an obstacle
2 seconds for breaking altitude restrictions
2 seconds for high-sticking
2 seconds for not turning smoke off
2 seconds for not announcing "Smoke off"
 
Disqualification:
 
Crashing once will be at the mercy of your fellow racers to decide if you can proceed 
 
Crashing twice will disqualify a racer for that heat.
 
5 minutes or more on the course will disqualify a racer for that heat.
 
Entering course without knowledge or permission of the watchman will disqualify the racer for the duration of 
the race
