I put together a little video from the High Sierra Fly In last weekend in my kitfox and figured I should share it here. Sorry for the quality, most of it was shot on cell phones.

Nice Trent! I'm going to guess that Kaleo is in your top played music right now! I wonder if AirMasters Beta cycles fast enough to help you brake after touchdown...

Thanks Norm!
And it looks like you found the info but the basics are 2 planes race at a time. There are 2 lines 3/4mile apart. Planes start on one line, flag drops, planes take off and land on or beyond the line at the other end (coming up short will yield a penalty of 3sec/10ft short). After landing the planes must come to a complete stop on heading (no ground loops), once flagged that you have stopped completely you spin around, take back off and race to the start/finish line. Land on or beyond that line. First plane to come to a stop wins!
It's a very interesting event because it levels the playing field between a lot of heavy and lightweight airplanes.
