Watch out, bmathis is just looking for fresh meat to prey on. Racing is a real challenge, and lots of fun. You all should try it at least once. You guys who think there is no skill in racing, I challenge you to try to beat bmathis. It takes intense concentration, and nerves of steel to compete with the best in the league. It is adreneline pumping palm sweating fun. Here are some sample videos from about a year ago. Take the time to download the video if you can, the video quality is much better, and worth the wait time.

Make plans to attend on Tuesday nights in the Special Events Arena.

10 Eastern,
9 Central
8 Mountain
7 Pacific.

Season 6 Preview
Tunisian Turn & Burn 400
Flapyard 400

Don't miss the explosions in the Flapyard 400!

LOL! I accept all major credit cards, race at your own risk!

For those that are interested, here is a link to the track we will be using for next Tuesday's race in P-51B's. Seaside Strafing 500
This is a very fun track, and practice will improve your chances to win. Most pilots practice offline until the track is posted in the SEA on Sunday night.

Good luck!

And let the folks know, these races are not just for individual pilots, but there is team points racing as well.

Recruit your squaddies and start your own Race Team! Compete against -

B~Smooth Xtreme Racing
SCREAMING DEMONS RACING
USMC/71sqn Racing
-=1st=- N.A.S.T.Y. Race Team
! 347th Fighter Group !
**Lynchmob Racers**
4th FG "The Eagles"

And one more reason to give AH Xtreme Air Racing League a try. Without a doubt, racing gives you an excellent opportunity to learn just how far you can push the envelope in a particular aircraft.

Ever fly close to the ground in the MA, hugging and dodging through the trees to avoid the bandit's gunfire on your six, and wonder if you are really as low as you can go? After a few races, you'll learn you have more ground clearance than you ever thought, and you'll be able to use it without a face plant (uhh, most of the time).

You'll discover that not only can you easily fly the Yak through a hangar, but that you can start your bank for a turn WHILE STILL IN IT!

You'll learn you can fly an IL2 through a bomber hanger at 200 mph (in a dive with a heavy tail wind

), and you'll learn to fly aircraft you may never have flown much before.

And for those of you who don't already know, you'll learn how to use that little rolling ball thingy on your cockpit dash to make faster, sharper turns and maintain your energy while doing it.

Xtreme Racing will make you just plain better in controlling your aircraft and you'll have alot of fun while doing it. And if you're really lucky, you may even get into an occasional race with the RV8 through a tight, multi-hangar course that 'Tests The Best'. Talk about 'Fast and Furious' racing, it's insane!

However, I have to issue this warning. Whatever you learn. Whatever you do. You will have to learn to handle the ultimate frustration of following BMathis around the course for nearly every lap, every heat, every race all season long.

He can't be beat. His teammates can't beat him. The other race teams can't beat him. YOU CAN'T BEAT HIM ... or can you?

Well I'm putting some wheel blocks in front of his plane this week and I'm installing my turbocharger as we speak.

As for the trying it at least once.. lol I'd suggest trying it at least twice. If you only try once, you will likely be a little disheartened. Also for newcommers, I can't stress enough, how important it is to show up early.

This isn't a walk on 5 mins before the race starts type of deal. You really need to get in there early and learn the track, the guys that run up front, typically put in hours of practice for each race.

So don't expect to come in with 5 mins to spare and blow everyone away. Practice is the key in this stuff.

umm sorry but running away in a LA7 or a Runstang with a tempest chasing you, doesn't make you a racer. It just makes you dweeby.

Could someone give me an idea of how things are run?

Do you start on the runway or in the air?
Are planes and fuel load pre-determined?

I will give it a try , just curiouse.

WWM · « **Reply #13 on:** October 26, 2007, 04:11:16 PM »

I'd like to get involved in them also. I'll be out of town till nov 3rd but would like to start when I get back.

Thanks for posting Mathis:aok

The start of the race is signaled by the firing of the main gun on a tank at the starting line on the runway, and text channel GOGOGO. We give a prestart signal "gentelmen start your engines" too just for flavor.
