Sryth to take over has Race Organizer As of 9/29/04
Sryth will be resuming his Race Organizer duties from Maple One.

I would like to thank Maple One for all his hard work and dedication. Maple One is one of the main contributors the VARO Racer package and all the aircraft at VARO and has helped make VARO one of the best racing groups around. He will continue to work on the famous Pond Racer.

So with that out of the way I have a few announcements to make.

First due to a a family health issue I am going to be rescheduling the Short Course race that was set for 10/2 to be raced the following Friday 10/8. I am also going to be rescheduling the races on 10/9 to the following Friday 10/15. These changes will not effect the current the races on 10/16.

Second after the completion of the Fall season I will be performing a clean sweep of the VARO Board and Staff. We will be minimizing staff and the board since we are no longer in a strong development stage. New Staff will be appointed as needed as well the Board will be reduced to a 3 member group with The Race Organizer leading. All future rule changes and anything else that was originally proposed in the VARO Board section of the Forum will now be made available to the public. Finally the last part of the clean sweep I will be removing any pilot from the forum that has not posted in the last 6 months. Any pilot that was not a member then will not be removed. I will also be taking names out of the member database that have not participated in any races in the last season or any this season. Pilots that signed up during or after the last season will not be removed.

And finally, I am going to begin work on replacement visual models for the aircraft new to this season so we can get better control over there texturing. I will also be working on an improved version of the Transponder with more functionality as well as a built in course builder and possible telemetry tracking.

Sryth coming out of Retirement to fly remainder of Season.

After a short retirement Sryth, founder of VARO, is set to come out of retirement and race his F1 and T-6 aircraft this weekend. For those of you who haven't been active with VARO in a while this would be a good time to get back in action.

Enough about my news here is some new updates for VARO.Since my outside obligations have been rendered moot I am getting back into the development side of VARO, expect new aircraft and an updated version of the transponder with more race management tools included to make online racing easier.

Looking forward to next season....I am going to be taking suggestions on prizes for next season. Currently I am exploring giving the overall class winner a subscription to one of the Flight Sim magazines out there. We are also going to be opening the VARO Store very soon that will have all kinds of items with the VARO logo on them. If anyone has suggestions on prizes(mind the cost since we are running on a budget) please feel to post in the forum or send me and e-mail. Remember VARO is here for the Pilots and we are dedicated to bringing the best experience for the Virtual Race Pilot.
