Volunteers wanted to serve as pylon observers for the Everett Hatch
Memorial xcountry race at the Shady Bend [FL] Rotary Engine Flyin on Oct 27.

Since nobody entered any EAA sponsored races this year there is still
$1600 in the fund. Therefore we have decided to sponsor a race.
First place prize, with no minimum speed, will be $200. Second place will
be $100 and third place will be $50. Tracy will pick out a 
course with a prominent pylon marker such as a smoke stack or water
towers less than about 50 miles round trip since he lives there. Tracy will 
note the GPS coordinates of the pylon. Make it easy to drive to 
Tracy.

You will take off when the flag is dropped and finish over Tracy house
at no less than 500 feet. One at a time. You will be timed. Pilot
with the lowest time wins. Starting position will be determined by 
drawing straws. 

No other rules this year. 

I will write the checks on the spot.
