As the casual observer, I too would like to know what the "rules" are. Or is it just go fast and turn left?

Re: The Bacon Strip 500 "NORTH vs SOUTH" Who's got what it takes?

Rule #1: Don't get hit by Manny. He's known to take out the competition by shredding them with his giant props (he's compensating for something).

Here's a video of last years race. I think it's just go fast and turn left somewhere at the other end of the field. Someone was flailing up and down in what appears to be an attempt to take out the competion. I'm guessing that was Manny.

+ YouTube Video

HMMMMM,

Having now seen the video I am thinking that a Sig Kadet with an OS LA 40 will be more than adequate.

Ed there's no rules. But you have to survive the complete mayhem in the air..So yeah bring it on ..I have a feeling it may turn into a a bit of a combat show if we get enough contestants

No macho s$it here, don't need it for flying, my wife get's it all
