Great times and great racing.

We missed Fabiano, too!

Yes indeed, my apologies, Fabiano for overlooking you. See you next race.

Jack.

I don't know why but I can't open those PDF files. Seems incompatible with Android.  Could someone re post them as a screen shot or something?

Hmmmm.....  It look like Ben was the big point winner on the day even though he never won a race.  The strategy of getting into the consolation race, then all the way to the final worked at racking up the points (Ben raced four times in total).  Very sneaky, Ben.   ;D

I also want to point out what a great comeback Team Hearts made yesterday.  It's a very close race for best team now!

See? I promised that everyone competing will contribute to the team results and even if you miss an event you can still be in the hunt.

I like the way you have it set up.  A little mysterious, but with lots of opportunities to gather points.  I like how participation is rewarded..  A great way to keep everyone involved and motivated.

I like that in still in the lead!   Thanks Jack I will remember that.

Some good points were made because of the attendance!  Way to go getting out there and racing everyone.  Judging by the intensity of the other even first time racers the series is showing a great accomplishment. 

Thanks for all your hard work Jack. We even tried to get your pole straight...

The old "lose the first race then win the consolation, then go onto the final" strategy.  I think they call that "Ramping Up".

I will have you know that I won the consolation race sir. I just kept charging and flying when I was told to. Lots of fun!
