Report : 12-9-02 Practice Session at Kryn

Well, another fine evening of racing was had by VARO members Flatline ( our new VARO Vice
President and all around " racer to beat " ), Baron ( PRO ), Griff, and myself, Roscoe ( CSO ).

Three complete races were held Monday evening with fast laps, close racing, and no crashes.
Air starts were used for the start of all three races and went very well. In the first heat, Baron
got out in front at the start and stayed there the entire race. Flatline was hot on his tail but
there was nothing that either Flatline or I could do to catch him. He was just fast that race.
During the third race of the evening, Griff decided to watch from the start finish line and
witnessed the air start first hand. The air start in Griffs words was " awesome " !
Roscoe got out in front at the start this time and even though Baron was hot on his tail the
entire race, Roscoe was flying a low and tight line and held Baron and Flatline off to win
the race. We thenall got together at the home pylon for a few pics and called it a night
at that point.

Roger Wico was used again and worked great. VARO will be using Roger Wilco as the main
source of communication between the Air Bosses and the pilots, so if you plan on racing
you'll need RW. Not to repeat what Baron has said but do yourself a favor and get yourself an
inexpensive pair of headphones with a microphone and download Roger Wilco. If you think
you'll be able to fly 400mph, 20 feet off the ground and type messages at the same time,
you really need to think again.

Download Roger Wilco Here ( it's a freebee )

And be sure to spend the extra time to set it up correctly. There are help files included to guide
you thru setting up the microphone recording levels and sound levels. If you take the time
you wont be dissappointed and it will definetly enhance your online airracing experience !

As Construction Support Officer I can tell you that the stable of Formula 1 racers is coming
along nicely and will available in the near future. There other things happening also but I won't let
that cat out of the bag just yet!

Till Next Time
