1. LongEZ Driver Dave Adams will personally spend half an hour keying the turn points into your GPS.
2. Legendary racing pilots will tell you their deepest racing insight. And some of the guy pilots too.
3. It’s kinda like when you go through an intense conceal and carry handgun class. You are in the arena in actual serious operation of your equipment, focused on observing safe practices, run by dedicated experienced pros.
4. Everybody gets a first place medal ribbon. Oh, I guess that was just today. Sorry.
5. When someone passes you, you get to see them find and make the next turn. Hopefully.
6. People outside their houses and workers in the fields standing there waving at you.
7. Should the need arise; the competitor breathing down your neck instantly becomes your wingman.
8. If you race you get a T shirt.
9. It doesn't really matter whose the fastest. ...
Right.
10. … You get to FLY!
The legendary pilot’s personal deepest racing advice?
Fly Safe and Have a Ball!
- One of my top experiences is now smokin' across central Texas, feeling the passion, feeling the need for speed, realizing what great machines these are that we fly, and what drivers of other types have to do to keep up or pass us. In the past i was fortunate to make Kanab and Jackpot a few times, basically on the other side of the world, but truly special and worth it. Today with a little push it took 38 minutes to get home. Next season there may be an event in your back yard. http://sportairrace.org/
The indicated speed was significantly higher today than at my first Jackpot RACE in 1997, but not what it can be with a little more tweaking. That's another thing i like about SARL, there's always next year
