Default RE: Why Fly Basic?

I competed in Basic at the function rdcracer (great friend of ours) spoke about in the initial post. More than anything else, the Basic pilots had no idea that we were going to fly only 1 more sequence that Sunday morning. The initial impression (when we left at 5:30 Saturday evening) was that we would finish up the 3rd round with that final sequence and then have an additional 4th round. The reason the majority of the basic pilots were taken aback by this was because we just didn't know. That's a lot of driving back and forth to find out that you'd fly only once (I flew at 8:30 am Sunday morning) and wait the entire day.

Maybe if the Basic pilots had known what was in store for Sunday, the concerns wouldn't be as abundant.

Bruce, you did a great job scoring and I don't believe the complaints were thrown in your direction.
