Pilot's brief 0830, 17 November, in hangar C3
First aircraft launches at 0900!
Please have all aircraft fueled and preflighted prior to the brief.

Route and Turn Points

The will be an open course, 100 NM race consisting of three turn points.  Race aircraft will be started in a fastest-first order to avoid passing.  Please read the Race Rules before registering.  The Course Narrative can help you to pre-run the course without going to the airport!  You may also find the course as a saved route on Flight Planner by searching for "Rocket 100 Route".

Entry Fee....  None!

If you choose to fly in the day before the race, there is a Best Western just across the street from the airport.
512-352-5292
Or you can go to bestwestern.com and enter Taylor, TX to get to a reservation booked.
Rooms start around $70.  See Who's In for a list of entered racers and if you're coming in from out of town you can maybe team up with someone and save a few $$ (choose someone in your class so you can whisper how you're going to trounce them in the race while they sleep - psychological warfare, but all's fair in love and racing!).
Out of town RVers be sure and check the "RV Hotel" list for the area before you pay good gas money for a room!
