Cheap airfare to Orlando
------------------------
Pierre Brun reports that Delta is currently offering return air
fares for Direct flights LA to Orlando
for the 'Finals' period of just over $200. Pierre also reported
that eventhough he had booked his ticket before there is
some way he can get a credit for the difference.
I assume that similar deals with be available from other cities.
Is this to counter the drop of in flights to Florida
caused by the fires ? Who cares !
Comment from Tapio ..

And as a result of his victory he WILL be defending his title in two
years, even if by that time he would be otherwise flying for the USA.
There was a similar case in CL stunt some years ago, when the Soviet Union
had gone down. The defending champion was from some little country in
middle east, but was allowed to fly in EC's due to being the defending
champion...

Non Political E-Timer stuff
---------------------------
Based on a Suggestion from Paul Lagan The Black Magic F1A timer has been
modified to have two alternate d/t times - one for the first[long]
round and one for testing as well as the regular D/T Time.
Pierre's FAI Contest
--------------------
Pierre was coerced into running his FAI contest [after 2 blow outs] by an
ex-president of SCAT who had negelected to have all his FAI/team documentation
in order before pursuing the magic 4500 seconds. So a select bunch
including 2 America's Cup champions, two former team managers and 3 former
team memebers .. came out to enjoy the near perfect conditions. The
scores were near perfect too. But it is good preparation for the finals !
I did prove that even with july rubber, a perfect launch and not
mechanical problems a good Lost Hills downer can give a 90 second result !
and the ex-prez got his seconds
