3 As many of you may have realized, our IF1 website has been down for over a month. The victim of hackers our site became road kill on the information super highway. I hadn t realized how much we rely on our site until it was gone. Among other things, the site has been an excellent vehicle for disseminating information to the membership. Rest assured we have been working to get the site going again. We basically needed a new domain name and a new host for our site. Webmaster Jim Cunningham has done a great job of finding all of this for us and our new site is under construction. We hope to have it up and running again very soon. One of the most important functions of our site is that it serves as a central location for International Formula 1 Technical Rules, Procedural Rules and Bylaws. Because some very important changes have been made to our Technical Rules for the 2011 race season, it is imperative we ensure the membership has access to these rules. To that end we will provide each team at Reno a CD copy of the Technical Rules and Procedural Rules for I must stress, the changes do not affect Reno for this year as they will go into effect January 1, Another change just came through my this morning and it affects the Pylon Racing Seminar. Although most of you will not read these words until after PRS, it may affect you in the future. It is now a requirement that anyone attending PRS meets all race requirements for the class prior to school start. In particular we are looking at total time and time in type. Remember, if you are a new racer President s Page: Class Presidents Meeting you are required to have ten hours total time in the airplane you intend to race. For returning racers transitioning to a different type of aircraft, the requirement is for five hours in type. Participation at PRS is forecast to be fair this year. We have two true rookies coming in to learn the skills necessary to compete. Some great news is that a veteran of the course and an air racing legend is coming back to re-qualify. Ray Cote will be there and the rumor I have heard is he will be flying Holbrook Maslen s Judy. In addition we have four returning racers coming back to practice on the course. Many of you may have seen my racer, Sly Dog up for sale on the web site and in the Forum. I will not be racing at Reno this year in number 3. This is not due to a lack of commitment to Reno or Formula 1 racing. I will be at PRS and the races this year, but purely functioning as the Class President. Sly Dog has been taken off the market and I will return to Reno with her in I had initially thought of selling her because I was looking at moving to another racing class. I have reconsidered that decision. The reason we will not be racing at Reno in the fall is due to the airplane being prepared to break some of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) Class C1a closed course speed records. To break the records we seek, the airplane will be changed to a configuration that will not pass 2010 technical inspection. The decision to attempt these records was business based. As many of you know I also race with Aero GP overseas and do some airshow flying. The record Continued, bottom of page 4.

4 VP Report: PRS Not Just for Rookies Doug Bodine Just a collection of scuttle for this issue. Drop me a line if you get a moment. 4 Photo by Bill Rogers Summer is finally here in S. Dakota. That means it only snows once a week. With June on our doorstep, the big news is PRS. I hear John H. is teaching again, which is good for IF1, and the turnout is not too bad. Kirk should be there, and Smokey may stop by. Smokey and another class pres are working on a new bit of race crew recognition, and may have an announcement by PRS stay tuned. Brian Reberry has a break that lines up with PRS dates and volunteered to make the trip down and help out too. Speaking of Reberry, Scott Adams seconded a rumor that he sold his plane. But the good news side is that the purchaser is taking it to PRS, so you ll still be able to get your multicolor fix in the IF1 hangar. The Watkins-Machowski Canadian Dynamic Duo may be compete against each other. Larry bought a red Cassutt last fall and took it to the land of the Maple Leaf. Tom was working a deal for a Cassutt as Reno was winding down last year, and he always mentions his EZ. So where does that leave the lime green racer? My guess is Larry will race it. We ll see. Route 66 must be wicked fast this year cause Dan Peters is already lipping off. I just hope he has a placard reminding him to latch the canopy before take-off. I know Jim Jordan has been doing some engine work. I am anxious to see what he turns out. When I was in the Air Force, Judy was brevity for Yeah, thanks, but I got it from here Kind of like a GCA Knock it OFF. I wonder if there is a secondary meaning there for Ray Cote s plane? Rumor says you FORMULA FORUM, MAY 2010 will be able to ask him about it in the pit this year. So, what up, Ray? Has Judy been in the air? Phillip Goforth (and multiply our winnings) may be slapping a new nose on his Knotty Gurl. Hopefully it will slow him down a couple knotties. Maybe he can make one for SCARLET! Yes, there it is I said it: Scarlet Screamer may be screaming for someone else in 2010 I don t know, cause Gary only calls to let me know I m porking it by not having the website encrypted at 128bits. Did you see Heartbreak Ridge? If so, you are familiar with the phrase Bring out the Swede. About that website Thanks to Jim for all his patience and hard work on it. He is a self-taught webmaster. Look for the site to be active soon. Well, there it is. Just a collection of scuttle for this issue. Drop me a line if you get a moment: mei.cfii@gmail.com Jethro President s Page (cont.) flights are in support of that side of my racing business. Again, I am fully committed to IF1 and Reno. I just figured Steve Temple needed a break from looking at the back end of my airplane for a year! Also, Michael Kenner can t sing beat Smokey in the pre-race issue this September, but instead I can write beat Michael Kenner. As always I hope all is well for each and every one of you. If there is anything I can ever do to help, or if you have an idea to make the organization better, call or me. Smokey

5 Don Berliner has been hanging around air racing for a long time. I remember his articles in American Aircraft Modeler. from the 60s and 70s. By then he was already a veteran. His new book, Airplane Racing: A History, , describes the first 100 years of air racing; it s author watched more than half of them personally. This book combines a synopsis of every important race in the last hundred years with a few stories that highlight the turning points in the sport. These narratives make the book unique. Berliner was actually there at some of these junctures; others you only feel like he must have been there. Air Racing has always been different. Always expensive to run, not a lot of participants, not a lot of venues, and spectator interest ranging from wild enthusiasm to indifference. I learned quite a few things from the book. In the first races, the engines were so unreliable that all racing was done against the clock and the pilots were given blocks of several hours to make their attempts on the course. Under this system a single pilot could fly more than one plane in the same race, as Henri Farman did in the firstever race at Reims, France, in Racing enthusiasm developed faster than aircraft reliability. Less than two years after the first race at Reims, 51 competitors gathered for the 1000 mile Circuit of Europe Air Race through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and England, crossing the English Channel twice. The race brought out Europe s best aviators, along with a lot of those better qualified to be spectators, Book Review: Airplane Racing by Don Berliner competing for public adulation, self-esteem, recognition by one s peers--and by the way, a major share of the $91,500 purse. The race started at Vincennes, where the crowd was estimated at 100,000 to 400,000, and was held back by 6000 mounted police. The race had nine stages spread over three weeks. Forty-two planes started, 18 finished the first leg, and 8 completed the entire race, only one with his original engine. A good crew and corporate sponsorship made all the difference then too. For me, the highlight of the book was Chapter 21, where the author describes his part in the revival of air racing at Reno in 1964: The first clue that someone could pull off the unthinkable came completely out of the blue in October 1963, in the form of a letter to the Professional Race Pilots Association (PRPA) from University of Nevada Engineering Professor Klaus Neilsen. He wanted a set of specifications for the 190 cu. in. class (the Goodyear Midget Racers) so his students could design and build an airplane to be raced at Reno in Forty-five years later, the Reno Air Races have become the longest running series of pylon racing ever and draw about as many competitors as air racing ever has. Berliner rightly points out clouds on the current Air Race horizon, but he makes it clear that the sport s outlook has never been CAVU. The book is worth reading, and it will make you want to find out more about some of the personalities involved. I ll close with a trivia question: which came first, the Cassutt 11 or the Cassutt 111? Hint: there are no typos in the previous sentence.

Minnow is now under restoration in Peterborough, England. In the few months between publication of the Goodyear Midget Racer rules and the 1947 National Air Races, a handful of competitor built new planes, and more modified existing prewar racers with small displacement engines. All told, 18 midgets showed up at Cleveland, and 16 raced. One was disqualified and one crashed during qualifications. Emil Strasser became interested in aviation after Lindbergh s trans-atlantic flight in 1927 and started taking aircraft photos in He attended the 1947 races at Cleveland and photographed most of the Midgets during their first race series. When Strasser died in 1996, he left over 1,300 rolls of undeveloped film that were rescued, developed, and printed by Gerald Liang starting in the late 1990s. These 1947 images were scanned from prints provided to IF1 by Mr. Liang. The information in the captions comes from E.A. Strasser s notes, and from on-line sources including Warbird Information Exchange and Aerofi les.com. 6 FORMULA FORUM, MAY 2010
