Default RE: GOODBYE MATRIX

Racing the clock? Racing against yourself? No thanks. I can do that at my own club field every weekend. True, at the end of the day, you'll find out who flew the best and was consistantly the fastest. Yawn. I guess we could all go fly our hardest at our home fields, email our times to the CD and he could mail off a trophy to the winners . That sounds like fun.

Head to head competition. Not me against the clock, me against YOU. The strategy of a 4 plane race with the cuts and the crashes and everything. Holding a lead when someone is closing in on you, or flying your guts out trying to real in the leader, or just trying not to get lapped. Wingtip to wingtip racing, flying tight and clean. You know, those races where the lead changes on every lap? A real battle. Maybe you put so much pressure on your fellow competitor he cuts, while you fly your hardest and try to remain smooth and focused enough so you don't. Trying to find that perfect line while fighting your way through traffic. Flying competitively yet smart and defensively enough to minimize your midair risk and come home with an airplane. THAT'S RACING!!!

If you guys really want "time trials", enjoy.

I'm here to RACE [>:]

Oh yeah, change our scoring system, change the matrix, change the teams, and change the rules all you want. The same people are gonna be winning.
