A Mandatory Pilot's Race Briefing was from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM.

The first racer crossed the finish line about 39 minutes after his start, the last racer about 61 minutes after his start. After a refueling and cool down period, lunch was served. After lunch, the race results were announced and trophies handed out. See pages 2 and 3 for details. Then it was off to the next race.
