The Flying Start:
Racers will launch on the SW runway and hold. Once all racers have launched, the pace pilot will take off and use smoke to designate themselves as such. After the pace plane leaves, all other pilots may take off and follow the pace plane staying behind it at all times. The pace plane will follow the approximate route shown on the map below. The race begins when the pace plane passes the first turn marker (through the water/radar tower gate at the AA Factory) pulls into the vertical and shuts off smoke. A Text GOGOGO will also be given. Either of these will be considered a legitimate start.
NOTE: Racers may crowd the pace plane, throughout the pace lap. MODIFICATION: The pace plane will be the altitude restriction until the race start (all pilots must maintain an altitude less than the pace plane), AND all racers must be within 2k of the pace plane at the start (The pace plane pilot will look for ranges greater than 1.x and disqualify any). Racers may attempt to "time" the start by throttling up prior to SMOKE OFF.
If you are in front of the pace plane when smoke gets turned off and the text go is given, you will have to do a 360 penalty turn, as that will be considered a false start. It will soley at the Hosting CM's discretion as to this violation, however film may be submitted after race end if you fell you did not violate the start.
There may be a different Pace pilot for each heat. Pace Pilot will set their own speed for the lap, so it may vary between each heat.
