Status: online 		Hi Jake,
As we plan to use it.
ALL clocks on the L10 will start on the ZERO call from the recording with a single button push by the race starter.
The lap counters will do the same job they have always done, but, they will not be holding a stop watch. Once they advise their respective lane of "LAST LAP", they then will make their way to the start/finish line where they will depress the button for their lane by a single button push when the plane they are counting for crosses the line.

We also have a plan to use a single channel as backup for all lanes so that in the event of a complication of any type, we have a fall back timer.

Tommy,

Since you have Hi Tech timers now, lets do the pylons with lights so maybe once in a great while I will actually fly past the pylon and not get 8 cuts every time.....LOL....

Actually I can blame my caller, James.  All he thinks about when we are up on the line is getting the race over quickly so he can go eat a cheeseburger...LOL.......Love you Bro....someone has to pick on you!!!!

Status: offline 		It will be interesting to see if more concistansy is presant. I for one have always felt everyone should be timed from starting line to finish line but thats not how the SAM races are timed. The way things are right now all you need is a breakout plane and you need not choke the line on the start. Looking foward to a better year for our team next year. Training a new caller is never easy but I feel good about next year. Hopefully a few changes will juggle things around a little. Best of luck to Jerry Votah for the season points in gold! Go Jerry!!! Anyone going over to Morgan Hill the weekend after? I Can't wait. Good luck everyone at the next race!

Not sure if our 120 class allows YS engines but if so that opens up alot in that class. I'm hoping Kevin will see this and clairify. None the less its a great oppertunity to put the pedal to the metal and see just what you can get out of your airplanes.

Kevin it is not cheeseburgers (you can put as many in front of me as you want I don't like cheese) it is the big fat juicy steaks that I can not wait for.

I'm gonna test my P-40Q yet again this Sunday. Maybe this time I can keep the engine running and all the flight controls attached!

Not ready at all. 


I havent seen my garage since the last race I was at which was 3 or 4 months ago. 

I have been out sick which should get fixed here in the next month or two.  Hoping to make our race in October , but may be having surgery around then, so dont know yet.  I would like to make your 2-day event in september but again, see how things work out. 

Reason for email is I need you to take a peak at a "top secret "  project..LOL

Actually Shawn, We will never know as the planes are not timed there. I assure you this, I am bringing a brand new combination that should be....Well we will see. Ha Ha Ha. I do wish the race was on Sunday so we could get there a day early and test fly.

Congratulations to the following pilots who hold the lead positions in Bronze, Silver, and Gold:

Bronze
Kent McLain 31 points
Casey Smith 30 points


Silver
Rob Watkins 34 points
George R. 31 points

Gold
Jerry Votaw 39 points
Jim Smith 37 points

With many more pilots in every class knocking on the door. See you in just over 3 weeks.

Jimmy Skids

Hello all I am sorry to say I will not be able to compete in the last war bird race at Sams this year due to an incident between Jimmy Smith and myself at the last war bird event. I can say that I am very disappointed in my actions regarding this matter however it would be nice to see the rules enforced in a non-biased way here is the rule right from Sams web site (Unsportsmanlike conduct by a pilot, caller, or crewmember is grounds for the pilot’s disqualification from the event) The CD of the race chose to have a talk with us both and let us continue for the day. After the race I was then notified I would not be allowed to participate in the last event of the year and that the other pilot who is just as guilty of the same offence would be.

I have no problem with Jimmy Smith personally and this is not about him. I just would like to see the club enforce its rules in a non-biased manner.

Best wishes to all the racers at Sams and I will see you at Morgan Hill

Very big of you Jason to admit your mistake, not everyone would suck in their pride and take the higher route.

Not to turn this thread into a replay of what happened at the last race or to have racers take sides on what occured, I just wanted to say as a non-club member racer it is good to see that those in charge are taking the situation seriously. I guess the "fairness" of the final decision will have to be squared away between the club, its members and its officers. I have my feelings about the situation, but I will keep that to myself.

If you need anything else, let me know. If we are expecting a larger BBQ crowd I can pick up an extra helping, just need to know.
