Race 483 is an RV-7A flown by Jim Hard was not pushing it at all I'm told, mainly doing photo work.

Race 01 is a first time racer named Dan Hopkins I'm told (I was not told the airplane type). This is probably not a bad run for a first race, over a course with 7 turns, some very tight.

Race 26 is SARL Director Mike Tompson flying his RV-6. He developed the course, it is all in the area around his home airport so he is intimately familiar with it, he has been racing for several years now always trying to improve his speed. He is an ex power boat racer, motorcycle rider - basically he is just darn fast!

Race 483 was in it for just running the course and taking pictutres... not really racing.

The new prop on 007 failed to show a plus in cruise performance, actually cost me... but it did climb 250 FPM better. Off with the new and back with the old till we can work this prop out.

I don't recall my speed from a Memphis race but I had a newly overhauled engine and was babying it somewhat so I was not all out either.

Add to that likely poor turns (only two), a GPS screen problem that made tracking the course problematic (ultimately my fault) and my low number is explainable too.

Yep -- I tried to play the winds by climbing and descending, but all I did was screw it up. Some days its chicken, and other days its feathers!

Carry on!

Come back Ron we need you. Your Memphis speed was 158.66 kts. It was a good showing.
