2 Memphis 100 Air Race October 18, 2008 RACE OVERVIEW : The event will stage at Gen. Dewitt Spain Airport (M01) in Memphis, TN. The participants must attend the mandantory briefing at 8:00AM(central time) on Saturday, October 27 th. If you do not attend the briefing, you will not be allowed to fly in the event. After the briefing, the participants will take off at the designated time and in the order given during the briefing. Pilots will make an approach to the start line and fly over the pre-determined point. The pilot s time will start when the aircraft passes over the predetermined point, not on takeoff. The participants will then proceed directly to turn point 1. After reaching turn point 1, the pilots will proceed to turn point 2 and then to the finish at M01. En route: During the event, all FAR's, waiver special provisions, and event rules must be observed. Finish: The finish line will be at M01. The airport is on the Memphis sectional. The airport has one paved runway, After crossing the finish line the participants will proceed to the briefed cool down area (if desired). When ready to land, participants will announce their intentions on CTAF, enter the traffic pattern and land using standard traffic pattern procedures. Timing: The race will be timed by Official Race Judges. The race will be judged at the starting line, turn points, and the finish line at M01. The judges will use the atomic clocks on the GPS satellites at all locations to ensure accuracy. The start and turn point times will be transmitted to the race judges at the finish line and then confirmed by phone. The race times and speeds can then be computed as soon as the airplane crosses the finish line. The original hard copy of the times will be brought to the finish line by the race officials and will serve as verification. Race Scoring: The event is a timed race, therefore the aircraft with the shortest time is the overall winner. Also, the aircraft with the shortest time in each category will be the winner of that category.

3 Memphis 100 Air Race October 18, 2008 RACE RULES: 1) All FARs will be followed.

(The only exception will be to the those pilots listed on an FAA Waiver, and then only to the specific provisions listed on the waiver.) 2) No temporary fuel tanks in passenger compartment will be allowed. Fuel requirements will be VFR or IFR minimums. 3) The Starting Line is in a remote location from the departure airport. All participants will pass over the start line on course for the first turn point. All participants will over fly over a series of turn points along the racecourse. See the racecourse details for this information. Failure to do so will result in disqualification. Turn points will be marked at a pre-designated point on the airport. The aircraft must pass over the designated point at an altitude 1000 feet. Aircraft are required to establish communication with the turn point observer on the briefed frequency no less than 2 miles from the turnpoint. Example: Turn 1, Race 51 is two miles out. 4) Cutting a turn point at either the start or finish will result in a 15-minute time penalty. 5) All pilots must show credentials to event officials at Gen. Dewitt Spain Airport (M01) prior to participating in the event. The credentials required are: a) Pilot Certificate with appropriate ratings and endorsements for the aircraft flown. b) Current Medical Certificate c) Current flight review 6) In addition to pilot credentials, participants will be required to show the following documents for their aircraft.
