Default RE: EF-1 at Nats

There is a huge difference between flying a fast airplane, and going fast on a race course. I guarantee you that those of you who are complaining that EF1 is too slow would get your A@#$% whipped if you attempted to actually race some of the better racers on a pylon course. A Pogo flying 300 feet up all over the sky looks slow. Gino Del Ponte on the course at the NATS looked blazing fast. The top of the field at the NATS did under 1:15 on the 375' course. I guarantee you you can't do that. Go practice A LOT, and then enter a race. When you can actually put the plane on the course and then beat somebody on a race course, then complain that they are too slow and no fun to race.
