VARO Weekly News #1

Qualifying is over, and for the pilots that showed things went off with very little complications. After 4 days of qualifying the Lineup for the races are set. Congratulations to the pole award Winners #22 Rotorhead turning in a qualifying time of 2:29.16 in the F1 and Wombat with a last minute hotlap out at the unlimted course of 2:34.72 a little over a second faster than Viper in his hot Super Corsair. The official race lineup will be posted by wednesday. To all certifed pilots that did not make qualifying you still have a chance to make the feature, heres how. Certified pilots that arive on time for the race start will be placed in the silver race if we have more than 4 certified pilots show up we will run 2 heat races. The top 2 places of the silver race will then be allowed to race in the gold race.

VARO pilots we have had very low numbers in the race server over the past 2 weeks. This may be due to bad timing or maybe pilots just got involved and decided they were not interested. No matter what the reason VARO can only handle 32 pilots at the current time and any pilot that is registered and not showing is clogging up the database so the following list of pilots are on the bubble to be removed from VARO. These pilots have not shown up for any VARO events what so ever and if they do not e-mail me with a valid reason for not participating or show up for the next race they will be removed for the roster. VARO is only as good as its pilots and if the pilots don't how to events VARO does not look very good.

Finally the future of VARO
After a long discussion on saturday with the pilots I have come up with some ideas. Pilots have mentioned they would be interested in racing military jets on a long course. I am currently scouting locations for such a course. I have also put in the works plans to get a bearcat involved in air racing along with possibly a p-38. Something else that may be a possibility is an airshow. I was planning one a while back. I have since scalled it down and it will most likely be more of an open house for anyone interested in VARO to come and look around while we are in the server. There would be static displays of aircraft in production along with all VARO pilots aircraft, and of course airracing. Another event that may happen is the VARO Preservation Race. This would be a race using stock warbirds on the unlimited course. Each pilot that wishes to enter would be assigned an individual aircraft and we would run the race at the Airshow. The airshow would take place during the last month of the season at the champtionship
