[NSRCA-discussion] 31st Roadrunner Classic in Albuquerque on September 17-18

[John Gayer]

It’s time for the 31^st Roadrunner Pattern Classic in Albuquerque, New 
Mexico. This year we moved the Roadrunner to the fall contest date and 
combined the fall Classic with the Roadrunner on September 17 and 18 at 
the RMFM club field. We’ve included the Watermelon Cup that was 
traditionally part of the Fall Classic.

The Watermelon Cup is separate from the normal contest and is a one 
flight unknown contest flown first thing Sunday morning. The sequences 
are handed out after flying on Saturday and are somewhat harder than the 
advanced sequence. Results are calculated on the average score per 
maneuver including K-factor. There are bonus points for all classes 
except F3A. The bonus system seems to work reasonably well as winners 
have come from Advanced, Masters and F3A plus an intermediate came in 
second one year. There is no charge and the winner gets his name 
engraved on the permanent trophy and bragging rights for a year.


The field has two geotex runways one 600 feet and the other 500 feet, 
oriented to be able to fly away from the sun all day long. In September 
the winds are typically quite reasonable. We’ve had some trouble with 
the access road this year and it will not be possible to get large motor 
homes to the field parking lot. There are RV parks not far away and the 
Casino has a free parking lot for RVs( no hookups).





See Don Ramsey's site or the listing on the NSRCA site for the flyer and
