Well guys,

We do not have some of the problems of the semi-pros. Our $70.00 airplanes with LAs go approx. 65 mph. With TT Pros, they go approx. 95mph. In 7 race dates, averaging only 12 participants, (most was 16) we have had only one plane destroyed. The new guys raced 3-plane heats for the first 3 or 4 dates, and no planes were destroyed. Only in the 4-plane, 95 mph heat was that one whacked.

We still have GREAT fun and relish our man on man racing.

We do not want to change anything you guys do. It's just that what we, and the guys in Florida, are doing is a heck of a lot of inexpensive fun. Those Florida guys were even smart enough to stick with the 65 mph setup.

We are still OK with Matrix, as we have "Feature/Mains" for everyone after the heats are run and the points printed out. After we recognize "Fast Time" and "High Heat Points", we race lowest point people against each other, etc, until we get to the final of the top point people.
