C. Once all running aircraft are in the air, the horn will be blown to notify pilots that a 30 sec. count-down will being. When the count gets to zero the green flag will drop and the race will begin. At this point all aircraft must be on the left half of the course or any one who is not will be black flagged.

Because of the new racing format being changed to one day we had to speed the possess of getting the races started faster. At the same time trying not to take too much time from the start up possess. Hopefully this will workout and we can always improve on it after trying it for await if needed.
