3 WEDNESDAY HAMBURGER NIGHT UPCOMING SCHEDULE July 10 Wausau Downtown Airport July 17 To Be Announced July 24 Antigo Langlade County Airport July 31 NO HAMBURGER NIGHT AIRVENTURE August 7 Merrill Airport August 14 Flying O (9.6 miles east of Wausau) August 21 To Be Announced August 28 Wausau Downtown Airport John Woods Challenge July 13, 2013 A Piloting skill race for aircraft of all types and speeds Air race from Wausau to Antigo, then to Merrill, and back to Wausau. The race is 78 statute miles. Elapse Time Air Racing Rules Overview: Your entry is to include how long you feel it will take you and your plane to fly the course. The goal is to come as close as possible to your time ( safe time ) without beating your projected elapse time. All entries with safe time will be judged first. Awards will be given for the first three places based on the most accurate or safe elapse times figured by the pilot. Those that fly faster than they figured break out, and are recorded on a breakout list. All entries falling into the breakout list will be listed from closest to furthest from their entry time. If everyone breaks out, the closest times would be the winners. Two more awards will be awarded to the fastest plane and the slowest plane regardless of breakout or sandbagging. Rules. 1. All planes and pilots must be in good standing with applicable FAA rules and regulations for the type and class. 2. If the plane is more than single place, a navigator may ride along. 3. To prove that you rounded the designated points the pilot or navigator must photograph the Pylon or reference point. In the case of this race course, the intersections of the runways at Antigo and Merrill will serve as the pylons. You need to show in your photo that you didn t cut the corner. Take the picture out of the left side of the plane as you make the turn. The picture must have a time and date stamp on it to qualify. 4. Aircraft time will start when the throttle is pushed in for take off roll and end with an accurate visual ground recorded reference by ground personnel.

4 5. The start will be fastest planes first and slowest last so minimal passing will take place. Safety is paramount. 6. Any type of navigation aid may be used, GPS, ipads or sectional chart. 7. You may practice fly the course and time yourself before the event if you wish. Remember traffic flow and altitude when making your turns above the airports.
