Miss America

Is Race 11 going to try to qualify again, or is Dr. Hinsey pissed about the DQ and not racing?
They reinstated the Bear after it was shown as DNQ.

Re: Miss America

I saw her out on the ramp - via the live video feed on loadedtv - about 15-20 minutes ago. Someone was wiping her down and it appeared she was getting prepped to fly.

Re: Miss America

With the number of entries, I predict Airbisquit in Silver at least.

I can't comment on flying too high, cant see 'em way up there, but they should pay a bonus for low flying.

Over 400... not bad! What's the fastest Miss A has ever run, changes to the course notwithstanding?

Let's try to remember, this is not necessairly what RARA wants, it's what the NTSB recommend and the FAA wanted. Pilots are not happy being "squeezed" into a smaller space around 8 but that's what they are having to deal with.... There were meetings this AM, reporters not allowed, we may have some changes, let's hope...

Re: Miss America

The altitude restriction is based on the "ballistics" if there were an issue at pylon 8. Higher altitudes means parts travel farther. At least, that's their reasoning. Hopefully, they'll work something out.
