      Euro Champs UK Team Trials.

Subject: Trials and tribulations


    Lost Hills ? Who needs it ! 23 degrees C on an airfield in Norfolk in
    mid-October and light winds made for an excellent weekend. All but
    F1A went to a flyoff, results being :-

    F1A Team
    Pete Williams
    John Williams
    Paul Chamberlain

    F1B Team
    Russell Peers
    Mike Woolner
    Mike Woodhouse

    F1C Team
    Stafford Screen
    Phil Ball
    Ken Faux

    I dropped 9 seconds in round six to come second but even a win would
    have only got me fourth. Pete Watson dropped his last flight to put
    him out of contention on what was a really tricky day.
    Only John Williams  did a full house.

New News from the NFFS (10/20/97)
==================================
1. The Japanese have decided not to host the 1998 F1D World
Championships.
This event will be proposed by NFFS and AMA to the CIAM meeting to
be held in the USA. The potential site will be Johnson City, TN. The time
is scheduled for immediately after the USIC. All the above information is
tentative at this time. Further information will be posted on this website
when known. There is an outside chance that the F1D World Champs may
be held at Santa Ana.

2. The USOC planning session has concluded and Phil Sullivan, who is the
Contest Director, has reported a number of changes in event lineups and
costs for entry and events. The costs have decreased to encourage more
competitors of all ages. More events for Juniors and Seniors are on the
docket. The dates for the USOC are set for: July 26 to 30 at the Muncie
AMA Sites. More information as it becomes know. This website

Electronic Timer News
=====================

Matt Gewain and I were discussing holding an Electronic Timer meeting,
seminar, workshop for all those interested in better understanding the
about electronic timer and the different options.  We thought the winter
would be good until we started looking dates .. However if any of you
local subscribers are interested please let Matt [This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.] or me
[This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.] know.

I looked over the inquires that we had gotten for the Blackmagic timers
and about half come from Israel ! Is this an indicator for the 1999 World
Champs?
