ORIGINAL: dasintex
1st C-40 Nats in Waco, is in the Books; 2nd Day went great, a lot better, communication between the Pylon Judges, Lap Counters and Flag Man still a problem, seems to be a common problem at every race, best solution may be everyone Flys 10 Laps Regardless, Pylon Judges report the Cuts after the Race, 10 Seconds assessed to time for 1st Cut, 2nd Cut gets you a D/C.
When the dust settled, Randy Ritch Got 1st Overall, Crowned Club 40 National Champion, Fred French 2nd, Gary Fisher actually Crashed and Placed 4th; the other standings will surely be posted.
Off hand other notables, Steve Fabiake; Fastest Time and 1st in 'B-Main' or 5th Overall; Bob Petrinec 1st in 'C-Main' or 9th Overall.
A great race, I'm sure all will agree; hopefully, the 2nd Annual C-40 Nats will be held in Waco again next October, and we can make it better with as little or no problems or snags as possible.

I would like to congratulate Randy Ritch For his win Sunday at the Club 40 Nat’s in Waco Fred French for 2nd Trey Witte for 3rd you could have thrown a blanket over the 4 of us until I met the earth! Wish Jason Oliver would have had some luck on Saturday because it would have been an all out war with him in the mix as well he had a perfect score working Saturday until bad luck started!
Pictures coming!

RE: 2012 RCPRO Club 40 National Championship Race
It was a GREAT weekend!!! Almost no hick-ups, some of the best racing ever seen in Club 40!!!! I'm (Freddy your gonna love this) at a loss for words to describe how great it was.
And now to tell off on myself,,, I chased the needle all weekend, I was in a heat race with Fast Freddy, and the longer my plane ran the better it got. Well Freddy jumped out to the lead, and I started running him down. We were standing next to each other in the pilots box, "Freddy I'm gaining on you!", "Freddy I'm coming to get you!!" Then I passed him!!! "Freddy I got you!!" and I started laughing. Then Linda French just burst my bubble,,,,,,, "Skully you guys are on lap 12." D'oh!![:@] Oh'well maybe next time.

Great weekend of plyon racing!!!! ALL of the racing was real close! Congratulations to Randy Ritch for a convincing win. I had a great time.
