BLUEGRASS 150 RACE RULES:
This is a fun, informal race designed to test and improve your piloting skills. The goal is not to win at all costs, but to compete against your friends in a safe environment with good sportsmanship.
ALL FARS MUST BE ADHERED TO DURING THE RACE
1. All planes must be deemed airworthy as described in the FARs
2. All pilots must be certificated and current as described in the FARs. All pilots must have a COI (certificate of insurance) on file with SARL. Student pilots may race with their CFI if the membership and insurance requirements are met.
3. Each aircraft must have the race number prominently displayed on the fuselage and/or the underside of the wing. Provisional members may use their N- number.
4. Please email a photo of your plane and your N-number to [email protected]
5. Racers will launch and recover at 0I8
6. Elapsed time on the course will determine the winner of each class.
7. Both the long and short courses will be discussed in detail at the mandatory pilot briefing. Emergency procedures will also be discussed.
8. All turns must be made around an established point. A turn missed by more than a mile will result in disqualification. A turn missed by less than a mile will incur a 15 second penalty. DO NOT attempt to turn back to make a missed turn! This is dangerous and will result in disqualification.
9. To minimize passing, racers will launch in order from fastest to slowest. If you need to pass, the overtaking plane should pass on the right after announcing its position and intentions on the correct CTAF. Pilots must always maintain visual separation. Passing on a turn point should always be done on the outside of the turn. Communication is key! Make sure the slower pilot knows where you are and what you intend to do.
10. Any action during the race that is deemed unsafe will result in disqualification
11. You must stay on your heading until crossing the start line and finish line at 0I8. Do not turn on course before crossing the start line.

We look forward to welcoming all racers to our home airport in Cynthiana, KY and hope you enjoy this race as much as we do!
