I foresee jeep racing skins in the near future if folks flock to this. Racing used to be popular in AH.

I flew the route in a Storch and would recommend any players do same with jeep or any aircraft to familiarize themselves with the terrain. Most of the obstacles are trees.

We had a great first run with 12 racers equally divided between the two teams.  :salute  I would like to thank everyone who participated.  :salute :salute :salute

I have the logs posted.  They are under the Scenario tab.   TTT: Jeep Race; 5 Mar 2019.  I originally placed them in Snapshot but they wound up in Scenario.  Give me a couple of days for the results.

The first place winner will be the shortest time from start to finish in their log and then each place winner after.  Not necessarily would be the first one to the finish line be the winner.  Cannonball rules!!!!!!

Next Tuesday will be the Base Capture Bonanza event.  C-47s racing for the base capture.  Starting with the SMPizza map and only one troop for capture, Goons dashing from one base to the next.

Logs aren't working for me.

Was an interesting event, thanks for putting it on.

 Not easy to avoid hypnotization from those palm trees flying by...  :confused:
